More devices are in the works, including the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab.

Say what you will about blind brand loyalty - allegiance to one company over others can have some distinct advantages when it comes to compatibility and special features.

Coming to Blu-ray June 12th

Samsung's new Smart View, for example, is an application for the Galaxy S II which lets you watch whatever's on your TV on your phone. You don't even have to be watching a Smart TV feature - the app will pull whatever's on your screen, whether you're watching cable, a blu-ray or anything else you have attached to your television.

Smart View works with 2011 D7000, D8000 and D9500 televisions and is currently only available for the Galaxy S II. Samsung says the Galaxy Player will be getting the app next month and the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab will get it later this year.
