These devices have only come on to the market this year, with the Korean market getting them first and other countries soon to follow – some as early as may 2011. There are so many things that help the developers create these apps easy, but it is the emulator UI that is the biggest help.

Other features that make it easier for live and on-demand viewing of apps is IETF live streaming. We may not understand the complexities of how it all works, but it is the end result that matters most – such as speed. Something else that is very interesting is how the SDK for Samsung’s Smart TVs integrates Adobe AIR 2.5 technology; this makes it possible for developers to create standalone applications.

There are some companies that do all they can to deter developers to build apps, such as making things tougher. However, the same cannot be said for Samsung, as they have a system set up that makes is simple for them to get started. It is things like this that has allowed Samsung to grow as a company at an alarming rate in recent years; we just hope that they can keep up this momentum.

The Korean consumer electronics maker knows that the TV is the central hub to any home, so coming up with new interactive features is a way to keep the family firmly in front of it. Apple were the ones that made the app king when it comes to new content, and now it is the likes of Samsung that has taken it and adopted it in more than just a phone.

We already know about some of the new features in iOS 4.3, such as iTunes Home Sharing, Nitro JavaScript engine and much more, which you can read in more detail on Alan Ng’s article. This SDK GM Seed has been released now to make certain that developer’s apps will work with iOS 4.3, and you can be certain that a day or two after March 11, 2011 you will start to see updates appear for your apps.

For those of you who will be taking possession of the new iPad 2 and transfer your back-up settings from your current iPad, you need to make certain that you update those apps, just so they can take full advantage of that A5 dual-core processor from Apple. More details on this chip can be seen on my previous post here.

So if you want to be ready, download the SDK and then submit your apps once you have made the changes. Other than the new processor, the app also needs to offer support for the two cameras and the gyroscope. Next week will be a big day for most iOS users, so best get backing up soon.

Will you download iOS 4.3 on day one or wait until the dust settles?
