androidcommunity.com Robert Nelson 153 days ago

Samsung has recently released the AllShare Framework SDK, which in theory, could help to add features to third-party apps.

Samsung AllShare SDK could bring better connected apps to your Galaxy

www.engadget.com Jamie Rigg 154 days ago

Samsung's AllShare apps are the only implementations of the company's DLNA-based platform to date, but now it wants external developers to help realize the tech's potential.

Developers will be given access to AllShare features including media streaming, screen sharing with compatible devices (or an AllShare Cast dongle), and remote control functions.

Over the past few months, we have seen LG slowly but surely increase the amount of entertainment content in its Smart TV platform, with apps such as Verizon FiOS (in the US) and Disney rentals among the latest inclusions. Today, the Korean outfit announced there are more of applications coming to its 2012-range television ecosystem, although these newcomers won't be available worldwide -- that said, owners in the UK will soon be able to enjoy what Napster, Deezer and Eurosport have to offer from the comfort of their own couch, which should make a nice addition to LG's current app repertoire....

Samsung announced today that it's going to charge $40,000 for its top of the line 85-inch UN85S9 television. It is also planning a 95-inch model, and a 110-inch model, but has not announced the pricing of those bigger TVs. If you're in the market to spend $40,000 on a TV, you might want to wait until the pricing of those bigger models comes out. So what do you get with a $40,000 TV? Just about everything you need in a flat panel television, plus some gaudy excess that only comes with a super expensive TV. The first thing that jumps out about the S9 is the giant, vibrant picture.

Unity is probably the most popular tool for cross-platform development out there right now -- last week at GDC, I heard a lot from developers of all sizes about Unity and how it was helping them to build games for iOS and other platforms. But Corona also has a following out there. It's a Software Development Kit (SDK) that has been updated quite a bit lately, and I did hear a few devs say it's what they use to make their titles. One game development student even told me he's being taught how to use Corona specifically at school, so the tool definitely has its fans. Today, Corona has announce... Read similar

Samsung announced its next generation of web-connected Smart TVs today, a clear attempt to disrupt a market that has been the target of nearly every tech company from Intel to Apple. Samsung has several new television models in various sizes and resolutions, but the Smart TV features are the same on each. The TVs can suck in data from your cable or satellite provider and show you a visual representation of what's playing and what you can stream. The goal is to replace the clunky TV menu from your cable/satellite provider or TiVo and give you a better way to figure out what's playing and ... Read similar

It's been available since last month, but browser-maker Opera has only today confirmed that it's Opera Devices Software Development Kit is providing the backend for the Boxee TV's HTML5 apps. Those already include the likes of YouTube, Spotify and Vimeo, but Opera says one of the big advantages of Boxee using the SDK is that future apps built with it will be able to be easily ported to the Boxee TV -- no word on any big additions just yet, though. Boxee's COO Tom Sella also notes that using the SDK "enabled us to add a lot of apps to Boxee TV without a lot of effort on our part." If that sou... Read similar

Galaxy Note 8.0 Review: Can Samsung Challenge Apple In Tablets Too?

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 45 days ago

It seems like Apple and Samsung are constantly parrying each other. Samsung launches the Galaxy S III; Apple launches the iPhone 5 a few months later. Apple launches a new iPad; Samsung launches one of its new Galaxy Tabs a few months later. Now we have Samsung's answer to Apple's iPad Mini: the Galaxy Note 8.0. It's an 8-inch Android tablet that has a special stylus called the S Pen, just like Samsung's other Note-branded devices. It can also do a lot of things the iPad can't, like run two apps at the same time in a split screen. But as good as Samsung's phones are gett... Read similar

At SXSW this afternoon, Google provided developers with a first glance at the Google Glass Mirror API, the main interface between Google Glass, Google’s servers and the apps that developers will write for them. In addition, Google showed off a first round of applications that work on Glass, including how Gmail works on the device, as well as integrations from companies like the New York Times, Evernote, Path and others. The Mirror API is essentially a REST API, which should make developing for it very easy for most developers. The Glass device essentially talks to Google’s servers ... Read similar

Panasonic 2013 Smart TVs wield Nuance Dragon TV for voice control, text-to-speech

Panasonic and Nuance have been close partners on TV voice recognition in the past; we now know that they're getting a bit cozier for Panasonic's 2013 Smart TVs. The company's newer LCDs and plasmas with voice recognition use Nuance's Dragon TV for voice-only control of basics like volume as well as content and web searches. The engine will also speak out content and menus if you need more than just visual confirmation of where you're going. Panasonic's refreshed TV line is gradually rolling out over the spring, so those who see a plastic remote control as so very 2010 won't have long to wait... Read similar

It's A Little Weird Apple Hasn't Already Made A TV (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 76 days ago

Personal story: I got back home after a week away and my TV stopped working. It just wouldn't turn on no matter how many times I hit the power button. I inherited it — a 50-inch Samsung plasma TV — from my parents a year ago. They ditched it because it had two black lines across the lower third of the screen. I've inherited all of my TVs in life. My parents would buy a TV, then when it was time for a new one, I'd get the old junk. TV hasn't been a huge part of my life, so I didn't care if the TVs were older. The only TV I didn't inherit, I found on the street. It's a gigantic 42-in... Read similar
