The funny thing is that Samsung is constantly throwing in free crap to try and get people to upgrade to their newer phones. If instead of yet another set of bluetooth headphones, they gave away free wireless doorbell enclosures or something, they could kill two birds with one stone.

Granted, I've never been accused of having much imagination so maybe I'm missing the plot.




This would be a huge undertaking for support/maintenance, not even counting in that due to the SoC any kind of security/Linux update is out of the question. Slapping on an enclosure, adding an app, and calling it a day would be a major security liability.


Interesting point, they would want the old device to live up to the name. Maybe refurb them into nameless crappy doorbells?


yeah, put a big samsung logo on it.

What would you [normally] charge if advertisement on your house was a market?
