Direct carrier billing is now available with AT&T for purchases from Samsung’s Media Hub video entertainment service on select Samsung devices. Using Sammy’s service, users can easily rent or buy movies, TV episodes and entire seasons directly from their handsets with a single click. Media Hub purchases can also be shared across five Media Hub enabled devices, including Galaxy Tab devices, connected DVD players, connected home theaters and Smart TVs at no extra cost.
Samsung Media Hub features a vast collection of movies, ranging from blockbusters to the latest independent films, as well as single episodes or full seasons of TV shows, many available the day after original broadcast. Among the partners providing content for the Media Hub are such big-name companies as CBS, Fox, MTV Networks, NBC Universal, Paramount and Warner Bros. Each movie and TV show delivered through Media Hub is optimized for the best experience based on the device’s screen size, screen type, video resolution, memory type, processor and sound profile.
Finally in terms of compatible devices, Media Hub comes preloaded on the new Galaxy S III, Captivate and Galaxy Exhilarate, while the Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II will receive carrier billing capabilities through the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich update.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
