Samsung Galaxy S III: AllShare feature demo

The AllShare app that manages the DLNA functionality has been present on Samsung's handsets for a while now, but in the Galaxy S III it gets taken to a whole new level.

Samsung is using Wi-Fi Direct connectivity in AllShare now for a complete set of categories like AllShare Cast for video streaming, AllShare Play for file sharing, and Group Cast for sharing screens with multiple other devices on the same Wi-Fi network, pretty cool.

The camera department is not forgotten either - the Buddy Photo Share sends photos directly to the people whose faces it's recognized after you take the shot, for example, and you can set it to be automatic. There will be an SDK for application developers to take advantage of the new AllShare possibilities.

Don't have a DLNA TV? Fret not, as Samsung is providing an All Share dongle that steps directly on the HTC Media Link HD accessory's toes. Watch our demo of the AllShare services that come with the Samsung Galaxy S III in the video below.

AllShare is pretty cool, but sharing with phones right next to you, meh. I like the idea of accessing content from my home PC server anytime. It seemed a little buggy too, but I'm hoping she just didn't do something right ;)

There are other phones out.(with similar specs) It's Phone Arena. Not Samsung Arena. Hope all the articles on here for the next month are not confined to Scamsung products.

For now it's GS3 Arena, as they just had their big launch. I've seen plenty of coverage of other phones prior to this launch so I'm glad to getting as much info as possible.

They already covered it plenty. There isn't much on PA about the sg3 that wasn't in the Scamsung launch yesterday. I don't see any differance between Scamsung & ifraud fanboys. It's like republicans & democrats... They both suck in different ways.

Lol what's this got to do with murdoch... All am. Saying is if you don't like the s3 news then don't read it... That's like eating something you don't like even though you got the choice of not eating it.

I already now all this info, from yesterday. Im just saying PA has done this sg thing to death. & they should move on now. The sg3 does not deserve this much coverage. & these so-called articles are starting to sound more like adds.

I get what you mean but it's not just PA and it what happens with all big launch really... It happens with iPhone. HTC etc... Don't b surprised if this s3 thing drags on until the US release lol :)
