Paris, January 26, 2012 - Avanquest Software, developer and publisher of consumer software applications, has announced customizing multimedia and edutainment applications to make them available to Samsung's Smart TV users.
The first applications dedicated to the general public will
be available in the first quarter of 2012 and demonstrated

from February 27 to March 1., Initially these will be
edutainment apps customized for Samsung Smart TVs as well as

market.

2012 to be the year of growth for Smart TV
The boom in mobile screens, with tablets leading the way, has
made the general public aware of the complementary nature of
various peripherals. People are now using their tablets to
watch television, and the natural evolution of this is the
mass arrival of the Internet and entertainment applications
or services adapted to large screens.
This interactivity that is now possible on the main screen at
home opens up prospects for the development of ever more
interesting content. Smart TV users will be able to save,
consult, synchronize or share data in the Cloud (music,
photos, documents, videos etc.; benefit from parental control
features; and access value-added services or entertaining
apps available on the connected TV as well as on other mobile
media outside the family home.
Users have thus become stakeholders in a world that they
control and fashion in their own image. This lets them go
from being spectators to becoming actors in selecting the
entertainment or services they access with increasing ease,
enjoying at home the same quality and user- friendliness
offered by the large screens of smart TVs.
