annual Developers Conference (http://www.samsungdevcon.com/) , which kicks off next
week in San Francisco, is the latest indication that the company is serious about software
as a way to stand out. Instead of developing just for Android, Samsung wants developers

Android app development," and it’s a notion he reinforced in a conversation with The
Verge. "A lot of developers look at the app stores and see there’s 800,000 applications, 1
million applications available — how do they stand above the crowd?" Sasaki asks. "How
do they differentiate and get exposure?" The answer, he believes, is developing on top of

what Samsung’s building. "Part of the message is that Samsung has innovated so much on
our products," he says. "If [developers] take advantage of that, they can obviously

very meaningful experience." Of course, such an experience might be great for Samsung
and its customers, but other Android tablet users are stuck with the same blown-up
smartphone app. It’s a good example of how much power Samsung wields in the Android
space right now. Twitter could have built an Android tablet app that worked on any

"multiscreen experience" (consumers augmenting their TV viewing with a tablet, for
example) is another one that Sasaki thinks Samsung us uniquely suited to solving. "We
don’t want to just replicate or mirror a screen from your tablet to your TV," Sasaki says —
perhaps taking a subtle dig at iPad mirroring on the Apple TV. "What are the kinds of
services, if you have a tablet on your lap as you’re watching TV… how do you create an
augmented experience that is really unique and differentiated?" He says that Samsung
was doing a lot of work in the space and that multiscreen functions would be a major
theme at the conference — it’s a logical place to go, with Samsung having a major stake in
the smartphone, tablet, and TV markets. That’s reflected in the content of the conference
— Sasaki said Samsung wanted to offer "not just mobile, technical tracks, but might want
to learn about developing for TVs, programming for enterprise, even gaming."

SAMSUNG'S DEVELOPER CONFERENCE COULD
MARK A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE ANDROID
MARKET
"First and foremost, we are in relentless pursuit of great software," Sasaki writes in his
letter to developers. "The next big innovations — the ones that permanently and positively
alter how we work and play — will be largely shaped by you." What’s going unsaid — but is

implied by the entirety of Samsung’s event — is that the company wants those innovations
to be built on top of its hardware and software. For now, that’s primarily Android, but in five
years maybe it’ll be on a forked version of Android (like Amazon’s Kindle Fire OS) that
replaces Google services with Samsung’s — or maybe Samsung’s own operating system
entirely (http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/27/4035040/tizen-2-0-is-three-parts-android-onepart-webos-hands-on) . We may look back at Samsung’s Developer Conference as the
beginning of a fundamental shift in the Android market — particularly if it leads to a future
in which all of the best app and features are Samsung exclusives.
