Samsung
has just taken
the wraps off of
its highly anticipated Galaxy
S III and,
in a move similar to Nokia's efforts with the Lumia line, decided to
package extra services and features to further differentiate itself
from the competition. Mentioned onstage were the S Health "personal
wellness app" and an enhanced Music Hub cloud service with
access to over 17 million tracks and an iTunes
Match-sounding
"Scan and Match" feature. Music Hub will launch in seven
countries, while the matching feature is supported in six of those.
There's also a hub for Games that promises quick tie ins to social
gaming and a Video Hub with TV and movies. One other new feature is
support for MirrorLink
enabled
headunits that should bring access to all of these things even while
you're driving your car. Finally, there's NFC-based mobile payment
support that should get some use among visitors to the Olympic games
this summer.
