(Friday update #4) Samsung has now gained 2 million app downloads through its connected TVs and devices, with apps from YouTube, Hulu Plus, ESPN Next Level, AccuWeather, Google Maps and Texas Holdem leading the way. Samsung said there are 380 total apps available for download of which 259 are free. The 2 million milestone comes less than 2 months since Samsung announced its 1 millionth download. Some analysts, like my colleague Colin Dixon at The Diffusion Group, have criticized these new "SmartTVs" as actually being quite dumb, but Samsung's experience appears to show that the app model on TVs is beginning to catch on.
