The new iPhone/iPod application allows users to control a Samsung TV, including the new 3D models, from either Apple device. Users can also control their TV over a Wi-Fi network.
The application supports both on-screen controls as well as gesture-based controls for changing volume and channels. It also doubles up as a keyboard and a game remote control for games on Internet@TV. Users of the application will need to own a Wi-Fi enabled TV or buy a USB Wi-Fi dongle separately from Samsung. The application will also only work with 2010 TV Models with Internet@TV. This is a new technology that is set to be launched in Australia shortly via a new electronic program guide that Samsung is currently developing. The EPG will allow users to access a multitude of Internet movies and content, as well content from sites like YouTube. |
