> This move to a dedicated Samsung-centric platform represents a shift 
> in strategy for the electronics maker, who had embraced Yahoo's TV 
> platform and associated apps when it was launched in 2008. While Yahoo 
> TV apps are still available on Samsung TVs via their own Yahoo app, 
> the company moved away from it because the Yahoo platform wasn't made 
> for devices beyond the TV, and Samsung is thinking bigger.
> The idea is that content and apps can move from a mobile phone to a 
> TV, Blu-ray Disc player, or home theater system and back via Samsung 
> products--like the Samsung Galaxy smartphone and Samsung 
> Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players.
