So now Samsung will run their Tizen OS on their range of poorly made TVs. Meaning you can have not one but two white elephants in the room at the same time, there must be a word for that by now...

... On the other end Sony have announced at CES Android TV will feature on its BRAVIA range of TVs meaning you can use your apps from Google Play ala Google Nexus. Which is a good thing.

But here is the thing, yet again Samsung is pushing out more Tizen into western markets which will confuse the consumers and restrict choice rather than encourage it. Ragardless of that, why buy a TV that has an OS that doesn't really interact with anything you already own ? Android already is a big seller for Samsung and pushing Tizen onto its sets seems a little shortsighted to say the least. Samsung (read Samdung) hasn't really been thinking of the consumer experience at all here, more for lining its pockets pushing something onto its sets which is pretty much useless.

Having Android TV is a compelling reason to buy a Sony, Philips, Sharp (or what other brand will have it) having Tizen is a further good reason not to buy an over saturated TV with an obsolete OS. Remember Samsung wants a war with Apple and Google, just don't become collateral damage.
