Titanium ® support for Tizen will be available for download at the end of March, and a common application store will be available for all Tizen devices in May. Appcelerator is collaborating with the Tizen Association to offer incentives to developers of the first 500 approved apps to be migrated to the new platform.

Samsung has publicly stated the first smartphones based on Tizen will ship in the second half of 2013. Additional devices will soon follow in other device categories and from other manufacturers.

"Support for the Tizen platform from innovative companies such as Appcelerator is important for the growth of the entire ecosystem," said Tizen Board member Christopher Croteau, Managing Director of Intel's System Software Division.
