Samsung Developing Joint Phone-TV Platform

Oct 20, 2010, 6:58 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Samsung has revealed its plans to market a new platform that will be shared across its mobile devices and its television sets. "We have a plan to have a single platform for Samsung TV and phones," Kyungsik Kevin Lee, vice president at Samsung's Visual Display Division, told Reuters in an interview. The platform is still in development, and Lee wasn't able to provide a timeline for its launch. In late 2009, Samsung launched its own smartphone platform, called Bada. Bada devices are only available in Asian and European markets. It is unclear if this new platform would be for feature phones, smartphones, if it would replace Bada or it if it would coincide with Bada.

If i am at home it's pretty much assumed i have internet access, on top of that it's probably on a laptop which does not limit me to a specific part of the house on top of that I can most likely link my laptop to my TV through an htmi cable.
