Creating apps for the Samsung Smart TV

Samsung has launched its new LED TV called "Smart TV", which like Smart Phones is a TV plus computer! You can know about it here. So we can develop apps for it. The new and fun thing about developing apps for the Samsung Smart TV is that it uses Javascript/HTML/CSS as its platform. I think it is the only other major company after Palm (since acquired by HP) to use it for its applications development (Palm used it for its Palm Pre smartphones).

To learn more, you can download tutorials from Samsung through its website for developers, the Samsung D Forum.

You can also download the Smart TV SDK from the above mentioned site to start developing.
