Wasn't Microsoft's failed attempt (Zune) of being an iTunes competitor enough as an example for other companies? Looks like it wasn't. Samsung has launched their very own online music streaming service called 'Music Hub'. It is the first time the company has tried to build their own music services from scratch. A closer look explains that it's trying to compete with Apple's iTunes.
And yes, their latest flagship device Galaxy S 3 will be the first one in the line to get this music service. It will be available for now in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK. Other devices will get the service very soon.
