Samsung announced the TV Discovery service and is ready to demonstrate it at Mobile World Congress next week. The forthcoming service will help consumers find live TV and video content in real-time, while also providing them with suggestions based on the viewing habits of the user. In other words, it’s like Pandora for TV though it will also work on smartphones and tablets (so you don’t have to turn on your TV if there’s nothing of interest on air).
TV Discovery gathers information from live TV and various other sources like YouTube to come up with its list of recommendations to watch. Naturally, it will also have the social component allowing you to share things you watch with your buddies and see what they’re watching at any given time.
Finally, thanks to the mirroring function, you will be able to transfer content from one device to the other.
As for the availability, TV Discovery will be released on Smart TVs in the first quarter of 2013 in South Korea, US and 14 European countries, while support for mobile devices will be added in Q2 of this year.

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.
