Wink's partnership with GE is similar. On the beta side, we've done surveys regarding all major kitchen appliances. They are definitely working on other products. Quirky's also just recently shown off a coffee maker, baby bottle warmer, and pet feeder. My point is that they have the resources with GE to almost match Samsung in the product department.
Wink also has the Home Depot partnership as an advantage. Home Depot has talked about ensuring they are selling connected products. I'm sure GE would get priority over Samsung as long as this partnership is intact.
Of course, while those partnerships exist, there's a lot of If's and Hopefully's. Wink just needs to take advantage of what they've put in play.
Nice! I do like the GE & Home Depot integration. Really my only gripe is the required cloud relay. Well, that and the somewhat funky & inflexible app design. So we'll see how well Samsung addresses those two items.
