Samsung Ditches Middleman, Brings Blockbuster, Amazon Content to TVs
- jws 17y agoSay a TV should last 10 years, does anyone think this service will still be supported in 10 years? Integrating functional units saves space and cost, when one has a vastly different lifespan than the other can ultimately be wasteful. Consider how many iMacs are retired to basements and closets with perfectly fine displays, just obsolete or broken computers. At least in this case, you can just quit using the Samsung service when it is abandoned or standards overtake it and plug a box in. So you can think of it as your first internet delivery box is integrated, the rest will be standalone.
