Samsung and Yahoo join up to provide HDTV + internet content to audiences
ews filtered out today about Samsung and Yahoo! joining up together to include widgets and internet based content services on their HDTVs, and the new service will be crowned Internet@TV-Content Service.
Powered by the newly designed Yahoo! Widget Engine, the app platform will allow users of select models of Samsung’s 2009 flat panel HDTV genre to enjoy rich internet content and services, built right into the TV itself.
It could open whole new levels of interactivity and content streaming to the HDTV market (and after LG’s move to include Netflix with their new line of TVs, Samsung had to do something and make a move to counter their bold partnership). It could also give a nice boost to Yahoo!, who really needs one right now, with flagging stock prices, and a board of directors in serious flux right now.
