Samsung's unleashing an online video service in the US called Milk Video. Just as its music service seemed to take on competitors like Spotify and Rdio, its movie counterpart is similar to options such as YouTube and Vimeo, with a few differences here and there. Much of the free app's content comes from partnerships like Funny Or Die, Vevo, The Onion and CollegeHumor, and the list of videos is curated by Samsung and placed into category-specific feeds, such as tech, comedy and music; you can also set up your own personal feed that's comprised of stuff you and your friends like. [...] but the catch is that you have to own a compatible Samsung smartphone (the Galaxy S3 and higher, Note 3 and higher, Galaxy S III mini and higher and the Mega). If your device is on the list, you'll be able to download it from the Play Store starting today. This exclusionary approach makes the app less enticing, especially since this is in many ways a new social network in which you can share and repost your favorite stuff. - Brad Molen,Engadget [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
