Samsung Electronics to Enrich Smart TV Ecosystem by Supporting App Developers
|
Samsung Electronics is to release SDK (Software Development Kit) 3.0 for
smart TV application developers in a bid to enrich the smart TV
ecosystem.
SDK 3.0, which is scheduled to unveil on Jan 5, is compatible with
mobile devices and TV sets and adds features like app advertisement and
payment. SDK 3.0 also supports various input devices from remote
controller to USB mouse, keyboard and game controller.
Samsung has been continuously working on enhancing the smart TV
ecosystem. In particular, Samsung initiated the Samsung Developers Forum
in 2009 for Samsung Smart TV application developers. The SDF has now
grown into the industry's biggest TV app developer forum with 25,000
developers in 140 countries.
In part of its efforts of enriching the smart TV eco system, Samsung
expects SDK 3.0 would help app developers smoothly move into TV app
development and also invigorate the TV app market with its advertisement
platform.
