Last Thursday we approached the headquarters of Samsung, South Korea where he taught us the news of its new online service platform for connected TVs, an invention called Smart Samsung TV. Basically, Smart TV is an interesting push by Samsung to equip their TV platform internet connection that goes beyond the sad widgets to which we are accustomed.
Samsung Smart Hub is the entry point to this gallery of services that include free shipping, applications, social network access and interoperability between devices wirelessly. Let's see them. As we discussed, Smart Hub is the entry point to all online services. The software that supports it will be available only in the television market this 2011, so we fear that the only way to access, if you have an old computer or other company, is to become a Samsung Blu-Ray new.
Known this, Smart Hub offers a fairly complete menu sufficiently close to Google TV on one thing: everything revolves around the search engine. A number of options to enable and disable filters to narrow your search. The system allows you to search all sources of local or online video, social networks, the Samsung Music catalog or a tool called Your Video.
Obviously, Your Video is not capable of tracking torrents or file hosting services like Rapidshare or Megaupload, but the results seem quite broad and promise a few hours of entertainment. One of the most welcome of Samsung Smart TV is the inclusion of an open web browser, in fact, is an adapted version of Google Chrome.
Although it is not compatible with HTML5, it is fully capable of running Flash, which gives us a range of pages from which streaming diving. Besides the browser, Samsung Smart Hub integrates a specific version of the App Store Apps Samsung. As we have said in Samsung, Samsung SDK Apps is not as free as may be to Boxee Box.
In other words, the final word on what applications come and what is not Samsung. At the time we spent messing with Apps Samsung could find some applications for immediate access to information points such as the Brand web. Apps Samsung is also the place to find all the widgets that allow us access to Facebook, Twitter, GoogleTalk or Skype.
Social networks are precisely one of the strengths of Samsung Smart TV. An application called Social TV allows us to open a column to the right of the screen to view our Timeline of Facebook and Twitter while still watching TV, or whatever we are seeing at the moment. Online communications are completed with full access to the Google Talk chat and Skype.
Samsung will start selling webcams to their TVs this year and the Skype experience on your TV is very nice and easy to use. All these applications require a keyboard almost necessarily. Instead of making specific keyboards, Samsung has opted for a clever maneuver. Smart TV Launch an application compatible with all Android phones.
With this application installed on a phone or tablet with WiFi can synchronize the terminal with the TV and turn it into a touchscreen remote control with an extensive range of options. The application does not stop there. We can also see the contents of the mobile TV, another channel other than the one we have on TV, and use the onscreen keyboard as a way to look at Smart TV or write status updates.
The truth is that Samsung Smart TV we liked. The platform is an internet access to full-fledged and only hope that Samsung feed store with more content applications for Smart TV to become an interesting plus to consider when choosing a new TV.
