Samsung really are turning out to be the really crap evil empire.
At least Apple are plain faced about it and turn out quality products and you knew what you were buying into from the outset.
Samsung continually launches half-finished products onto the market, and are not public about the fact that unless you buy all Samsung products none of it will work as expected.
Currently looking at the TVs and Smart Blue-Ray players... they've broken all standards (DLNA and MediaCast) and replaced it with their own broken versions that only work with other Samsung products.
What this means is that you can run a home media server if it happens to be a Samsung box with Windows running Samsung software.
And you can cast a video from your phone to your TV, assuming the phone is Samsung and the TV is Samsung.
It's shitty monopolistic behaviour.
What should happen is that you should be able to buy any phone, and any TV, and any home media server... and it should all just work.
Samsung... fuck 'em.
