This seems unlikely to me for several reasons. First is Apple's "all-in" mentality, which I don't see in many other CE companies. It's the idea that Apple makes it easy to know which products support which features, because, with a few exceptions, all their products support the key features. Apple doesn't sell many low end products just to fill a niche, and those low end products are the ones that can't handle the banner feature like streaming or remote control. Second, (and related) Apple provides UI consistancy, which is hard to do when you are 'mercenary' about OSs. And third, I simply don't see Samsung having the level of consumer trust that Apple has. People that follow these things may know a lot about Samsung, but most people I know don't care about the difference between Samsung, Vizio, or any of the other brands of TVs that line the walls of Best Buy. Sony once had a distinct advantage in consumer trust, but I don't know if they still do, having gone so long without standing out. Once upon a time, I wouldn't own a TV if it wasn't a Trinitron. Now? I just look at the specs and assume the manufacturer is fungible.
