Samsung has announced the upcoming launch of ChatON, a new smartphone messaging service that will support iOS, Android, iOS, Bada, BlackBerry, and Web.
--
ChatON is Samsung's global mobile communication service that works across all major smartphone and feature phone platforms. ChatON lets users interact with friends and family, regardless of device platform – functionality across multiple platforms lets all users join in, with text, images, hand-written notes and video shared instantly. Users can chat in groups, while a Web client will allow the easy sharing of content and conversations between mobile and PC.
"With ChatON, Samsung has vastly simplified mobile communication by allowing users to connect to our upcoming feature phones and all major Smartphones in the market,"said Ho Soo Lee, Head of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics. "Users around the world can now enjoy easier and richer interactivity with whoever they want, in the format they want-this is mobile communication reinvented and democratized."
ChatON, which is available in more than 120 countries supporting up to 62 languages, features two functionality options. A basic functionality option is available for feature phone users who prefer simple and easy usage, allowing users to share text, pictures, calendar, contacts and emotions through an easy-to-access client.
Smartphone users can enjoy advanced feature options, enabling richer communication by allowing users to see how often they communicate with their buddies using the Interaction Rank feature and post comments on buddies' profile pages. Users can also create an 'Animation message' which allows them to create their own content by scribbling texts, adding audio and choosing their background pictures. All photos and videos in each conversation window can be viewed in an automatically-generated content sharing 'Trunk'.
ChatON allows users to join and grow their social communities, socializing instantly and flexibly through their mobile device. Users can enjoy the benefits of ChatON globally, with free and easy communication possible with friends and family anywhere in the world.
Samsung ChatON will be made available gradually across all major Smartphones, Tablets, notebook PCs and Samsung feature phones, including forthcoming devices showcased at IFA 2011.
--
Samsung will be rolling out the free ChatOn apps starting in September.

Adobe Flash Media Server Streams Flash Video to iDevices the Right Way
Last week, Adobe unveiled Flash Media Server 4.5 and Flash Access 3.0. With these products, content providers can finally stream Flash video to iOS on the fly without having to manually re-encode. While this doesn’t necessarily equal Flash content on the iPhone and iPad, it does mean that providers have a faster and easier way to deliver video in a Flash wrapper to iDevices.
This doesn’t mean that Flash-based games can run on iDevices, only video…
While Adobe isn’t overstepping Apple’s rules against Flash on iOS, Flash Media Server sidesteps the restriction. The video is embedded in a HTTP stream, so content providers can use the same video stream across different platforms without having to worry about re-encoding a compatible version for iOS.
Due to the nature of Flash Media Server, all of the encoding and heavy-duty processing happens on the server’s side, meaning that our iPhones and iPads don’t have to do all of the work. This means that battery life and speed will be greatly improved when playing back Flash video on an iDevice.
Most of the bigger and more influential content providers on the web have already begun to move away from Flash to more modern formats, like H.264. It’s nice to see Adobe introduce a streamlined, unified solution for Flash playback on iOS, but in this case, it might be too late for Flash.

lol this tomc guy has no clue what he is talking about.

each platform has its advantages
apple - looks nice, priced very high - appeals to people with more money than brains, or just very little of both
android - cutting edge, more powerful, less locked in - for those cutting edge early tech adopters android is where its at, do you want your phone to have the latest dual core? 3d screen? 15mp camera? and thats just the hardware, paired with the android operating system you have a fully customizable monster on your hands, and .... well ... you wont find any of this on an iphone. iphone components are most likely 2-3 years behind in the supply chain, and this is done intentionally to make sure "everything works without thinking about it"
windows - most likely used in the enterprise for its cheap cost, scalability and integration with office/outlook/other enterprise apps, if you need to deploy 5000 desktops you'd most likely use windows server with dumb-terminals, and even in smaller businesses windows is used because there simply isn't the budget to buy 20 or 30 macs when you can get twice that many low grade pcs for half the cost
LAMP stack - linux, apache, mysql, php - basically 90% of the worlds webservers run this or some lamp variant, XAMMP, WIMP (Windows, IIS, mysql, php), etc, you'd be a complete idiot to host anything on a mac or windows
and of course ubuntu, redhat, debian, freebsd and all those *nix variants, great if you want a free open source desktop that is capable to running home services suce as file sharing, firewall, multi nat router, mail server, and the list goes on
the point of this being, mac and ios is not the only platform out there and in the big scheme of things they really only cater to middle to high income earners with a desire to buy anything that looks nice, and that explains they stock price and market cap.
open your eyes sheeple and realize that your fart app is really nothing to be proud of and any developer worth his salt would know how to develop for every platform

1) Actually, chances are anybody who's ever browsed the web has used Open Source. Ever heard of LAMP? Basically, 90% of websites run on the LAMP stack. The 2nd most popular browser on the market (Firefox) is Open Source. Yeah, nobody uses open source
2) We're talking about a mobile computer that can be used to help a person manage and enhance their life. Considering how much computers are penetrating our day to day living, restricting our freedoms with the devices that we paid hundreds for can be very inconvenient.
3) What's so douchy about wanting to access your PBX via a more secure protocol, or having any other functionality that would appeal to a geek or an enterprise user? The beauty of the Android marketS lies in the fact that there are packages for both the regular Joe and the real geek. Better than 99% of your platform's packages being useless stuff just delivering advertisement for various businesses. Download the Geico "app" and the Fat Bastard Burrito "app," while you're at it.
No self-respecting fatass anarchist would go anywhere near Ubuntu, whose unofficial motto is "like Windows, but it works." It's easy to install, easy to use, has a lot of eye candy and lots of packages preinstalled, but that also means lots of bloat. Not a bad thing, and I use it for my desktop system (everything works out of the box, it's stupid-easy to install packages, has great built-in hardware support, real no-brainer), but I wouldn't run a server or be involved in any clandestine activities on that platform.
A lazy fatass anarchist would probably go with Arch, while a real fanatic would probably just do LFS (Linux From Scratch). I might go through the pain of doing LFS just to learn about the internals, which you typically wouldn't using Ubuntu, which serves everything up on a silver platter.
Sometimes, you just want it to work, without having to enable debug mode and looking through logs to find what went wrong
Bash it all you want, you gotta hand it to Apple, it just works. This is worth a premium to people that can't be bothered. What to do with all the free time? waste it with fart apps :-D
(my Current phone's are a BB and a Droid, so you can't pull the 'fanboi' card)

Europeans Love Android More Than iOS?
Everyone loves sales numbers, right? If that’s true, everyone really loves sales numbers that claim that either Android or iOS is winning the mobile war.
It seems different numbers point to a different winner in this war, or at least a different winner in each battle. And this time around it’s Android’s turn to be the victor…
The victor in Europe, that is.
According to new figures compiled by ComScore, Android is now the mobile operating system of choice across Europe, with the UK, Spain, France, Germany and Italy all seemingly in love with that little green Android guy. The figure, 22.3% to be exact, represents a massive 16 point jump over last year’s results. Guess that’s proof that releasing so many different handsets actually works, then.
Apple has now slipped to third place with 20.3% of the market, with Symbian’s 37.8% meaning the old war-horse is still going strong. With Nokia aligning itself with Microsoft and Windows Phone 7, that might not be the case forever. Symbian’s numbers are already on the decline – last year’s result of 53.9% is now a distant memory.
The likes of RIM and Microsoft make up the remainder, though the latter will be hoping that the Nokia deal will help to give Windows Phone 7 renewed vigour moving forward.
Does Apple care that Android is outselling it, or is the revenue from Apps, as well as hardware sales, enough to keep the Cupertino bean counters happy?
