Samsung’s “Free The TV Challenge”

In addition to throwing some ad dollars at their “Free The TV Challenge“, Samsung has also been generating some media buzz. This past weekend I heard mention of the contest on one of WCBS-AM’s business reports.

For those of you who have not heard, Samsung is running a contest for developers to write applications for Samsung’s line of HDTVs and Blu-ray players that share common programming interfaces for third-party video, gaming and internet-based apps.

You can read the original press release here, and the one about the August 31st “Developer Day” here.
