Samsung lancia ChatON, un servizio di messaggistica istantanea multi-piattaforma
La messaggistica di gruppo pare essere uno dei principali obiettivi per i produttori di telefonia mobile e le aziende software: anche Samsung, infatti, sta preparando la propria soluzione. Si chiama ChatON.
Ricordiamo che questo genere di servizi rappresenta uno dei punti di forza della serie di smartphone BlackBerry (ove si chiama BBM, BlackBerry Messenger) ed è una delle principali novità dell'attesa prossima versione di iOS 5 (Apple ha scelto il nome iMessage).
Samsung ha deciso di non voler essere da meno: ChatON sarà disponibile da ottobre e sarà pre-installato sugli smartphone basati su Bada e Android. Il produttore asiatico si augura che la possibilità di ChatON di inviare messaggi tra varie piattaforme sia in grado di decretare il successo di questa nuova soluzione. Nei mesi successivi al lancio sarà anche disponibile sugli altri smartphone Android e sugli smartphone basati su diversi sistemi operativi.
ChatON permetterà agli utenti di inviare messaggi di testo, immagini, note scritte a mano, chat di gruppo con condivisione di video, messaggi animati e funzionerà anche su PC e feature phone, creando così una community enorme.
ChatON sarà presentato in occasione dell'IFA 2011. Vi lasciamo al comunicato stampa integrale in lingua inglese:
Samsung introduces ChatON mobile communication service
Samsung ChatON is the fun and free global communication service that enables content and conversation to be shared between all major mobile devices
Korea, August 29, 2011 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, today announced the launch of ChatON, a free mobile communication service that allows users to communicate instantly with any mobile phone.
ChatON is Samsung’s global mobile communication service that works across all major smartphone and feature phone platforms. ChatON lets users interact with friends and family, regardless of device platform – functionality across multiple platforms lets all users join in, with text, images, hand-written notes and video shared instantly. Users can chat in groups, while a Web client will allow the easy sharing of content and conversations between mobile and PC.
"With ChatON, Samsung has vastly simplified mobile communication by allowing users to connect to our upcoming feature phones and all major Smartphones in the market,"said Ho Soo Lee, Head of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics. “Users around the world can now enjoy easier and richer interactivity with whoever they want, in the format they want—this is mobile communication reinvented and democratized.”
ChatON, which is available in more than 120 countries supporting up to 62 languages, features two functionality options. A basic functionality option is available for feature phone users who prefer simple and easy usage, allowing users to share text, pictures, calendar, contacts and emotions through an easy-to-access client.
Smartphone users can enjoy advanced feature options, enabling richer communication by allowing users to see how often they communicate with their buddies using the Interaction Rank feature and post comments on buddies’ profile pages. Users can also create an ‘Animation message’ which allows them to create their own content by scribbling texts, adding audio and choosing their background pictures. All photos and videos in each conversation window can be viewed in an automatically-generated content sharing ‘Trunk’.
ChatON allows users to join and grow their social communities, socializing instantly and flexibly through their mobile device. Users can enjoy the benefits of ChatON globally, with free and easy communication possible with friends and family anywhere in the world.
Samsung ChatON will be made available gradually across all major Smartphones, Tablets, notebook PCs and Samsung feature phones, including forthcoming devices showcased at IFA 2011.
