Here is a blog =ost from me that covers it which went live 2 minutes ago: http://blog.smartthings.com/news/smartthings-update=/smartthings-samsung-open-platform/ I have also =ttached a top level Q&A in case that is helpful to =ou. We made the =ecision to join forces with Samsung to help us continue our journey to =ecome the dominant player in the Global Smart Home and Internet of =hings market. As part of =amsung, SmartThings will run as an independent and standalone business, =etaining its brand and easy and open stance for the entire ecosystem =ncluding customers, developers, and partners. While staying =ully open, SmartThings will also benefit from the massive scale and =each available through the resources and businesses of =amsung. We believe that =oupling our market leading platform and ecosystem with the massive =cale and reach of Samsung will enable us to more quickly fulfill on our =ission, to make every home a Smart Home, and bring the benefits of the =oT and smart home to hundreds of millions of consumers.
