A few days ago, we informed you that Samsung sent invitations to the media for an event related to health. At the time, we didn't know what Samsung was up to, but trademarks hinted that Samsung would introduce new hardware. Rumors about the new device have been refuted by Stefan Heuser, vice president of Samsung Strategy & Innovation Center operations, saying that Samsung has no plans to introduce any new device related to fitness activity or human health.
However, he added that the invitation itself and the text on it should reveal another clue. However, the media has not yet found anything that would further reveal the purpose of the conference and instead lean towards the claim that Samsung wants to announce a partnership with a manufacturer of sensors that are related to human physical activity. This is evidenced by the fact that the invitation was sent by Samsung's division that produces components and not entire devices, which is in charge of the subsidiary company Samsung Electronics. But we do not know what exactly is planned. Unless there are new leaks, then we will know the truth and the point of the May/May conference on May 28, 2014. The conference takes place in San Francisco at 18:30 our time. We do not know whether the conference will be broadcast over the Internet.
According to the media, there is another possible explanation why Samsung is organizing a conference at the end of May in San Francisco. Apple because just a few days later I will start my annual developer conference WWDC, where the company will present the new OS X and iOS. It is speculated that with the new system iOS 8 Apple will introduce the Healthbook application, which will be a part of it and which will collect data about users' health and physical activity. The application is supposed to be connected to a smart watch iWatch and other accessories, which may include, for example, the Nike+ Fuel Band. Healthbook works on virtually the same principle as the S Health app, and it is speculated that Samsung wants to promote its app ahead of time at the conference Apple present their own application.
