MWC Samsung press release

With MWC upon us expect many press releases. Samsung is trying to hit the headlines and is setting up to launch a new service at MWC called “TV Discovery”, to help users find video and live TV content with their devices. Similarly to what HTC just announced with its own TV offerings on the One, Samsung will use its service to aggregate content from multiple sources to be streamed to your devices. The content will be available on Samsung’s Smart TV’s and “supported mobile devices”, but no specifics were given. Similarly to what Samsung is already doing with its Peel partnership, devices will be able to be used as a universal remote control as well.

Samsung says that at the launch, the TV Discovery service will aggregate from Netflix and Blockbuster in the U.S. and Acetrax, Wuaki, MovieMax, FilmIn, Chili, Pathé and SF Anytime in Europe. Youtube is also a source.

I wonder if this will give us a clue to what the new S4 might offer.
