Samsung seems to be trying to strengthen its own ecosystem. The Galaxy S III was released with several changes in the interface of the Android platform and feature firsts, as assistant with voice recognition and quick transfer of files. Note The Galaxy also has applications fully adapted for the stylus. And now the South Korean manufacturer decided to start a contest to encourage developers.
The programmers who take the 60 most downloaded applications for Galaxy Galaxy Tab and Note will be rewarded with prizes ranging from $ 30,000 to $ 200,000, totaling $ 4.08 million. Samsung also will award the top 20 applications that utilize the stylus Pen S Note the Galaxy, but the software must necessarily be in English and will be judged by a panel according to the creativity and originality of ideas - and not by number of downloads.
Anyone can join the Samsung Smart App Challenge, provided they do not live in a restricted country (Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan and Myanmar) and submit their applications until September 30. The coolest thing is that if you're one of the chosen, the manufacturer says it will unveil its invention of the press releases, social networks and even TV ads. The result comes out on October 31.
Apparently Android smartphones and tablets from Samsung will be launched with increasingly personalized systems like Amazon makes the Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble makes the Nook Tablet - the more advanced users know that it is an Android, but the software was so altered that it is unrecognizable. At the launch event of the Galaxy S III, were few direct references to the Google system.
These changes contribute to the manufacturers of gadgets profit from sales of applications, music, movies and other content while allowing the reduction of prices of our toys, leaving only the Galaxy X and a future Google Android tablet pure. But is that even if the users want?
