The new service, called ChatON, will be available from October and preinstalled in Samsung’s feature phones as well as smartphones running on its own bada operating system and Google’s Android software, it said.
Samsung’s messaging tool will work across all major smartphone platforms including iPhone and BlackBerry and will allow users to send text, images, and hand-written notes, as well as chat in groups and share video clips. It plans to expand the offering to all Android-based smartphones and tablets, and will be available for download to consumers using rival Android, iPhone & BlackBerry models.
