Samsung today announced that it is expanding the compatibility of its HomeSync storage device beyond its own hardware. Non-Samsung devices can download the HomeSync application from the Google Play Store and use that to interact with the HomeSync remotely. Previously, HomeSync compatibility was limited to just a handful of Samsung devices. The HomeSync includes 1TB of internal storage and connects to HDTVs via HDMI. HomeSync supports up to eight separate accounts and can be used to store music, videos, and photos, as well as play that content on an HDTV. The HomeSync also allows devices to access their stored content when they are away from home. Samsung HomeSync went on sale earlier this year. It costs $299.
