Looks neat, however "pricing consistent with apps on other platforms", so $100? It isn't that neat.

Average development cost / Low purchase volume = Higher than average price. Pretty simple. What's the comparable alternative here? DVPHD is literally 100x the cost.

I've been telling Crestron to develop an on-screen interface ever since Control 4 came out. Their answer has always been the DVPHD. My reply has always been, "My client just paid a few grand for a TV, they're not going to pay another $10K for an on-screen GUI when the competition offers it for a few hundred dollars."
The Samsung app looks like a nice toy. I saw it about a year ago at a road show. I still don't understand why they just don't throw some smarts into a room box and be done with it. Drive it around with a simple hand-held remote and all those on-touchscreen functions we love so well for media players and the like are now available on a 60" flatscreen. Has always seemed like a no-brainer to me, but then again what do I know? :-)

MC3 was supposed to have OSD functionality... not sure if that was ever
completed.

It believe it does, but it's 480P component video. Not entirely useful.
Put an overlay gui into a DM RMC - a wonderful idea.

I've also dreamed of a day when some sort of programmable OSD was integrated into a DM switch in some way. Having it in the RMC would be nice, but it would also be useful to have as an input card on the DM switch. That way you could associate an OSD with a source, like an IDOC or AUDIONET card. That source card could be switched to any TV and provide OSD control without having it built into each RMC. Things like volume feedback would certainly work best built into an output card or an RMC.

Plus it's the same horrible "You can use any layout you want as long as it's one of the six pre-canned ones that fall hideously short of what you're trying to achieve" as you get with the MLX-3.

I'd really enjoy having something like this at my own house - I'll consider it...as soon as it's available from *any* other manufacturer besides Samsung. :(

We spent a bit of time looking into this for a potential hotel job, and it really wasn't worth it.
Fundamentally it's based around the MLX-3 style UI (i.e. not very configurable) so you can't even brand it for the client. There's no overlay, so you'd have to switch context all the time (which makes it pretty much useless). It staggers me how Crestron even put these things on the table, let alone build them into products in such a half-baked way.
Just for fun - you can "trick" the MC3 and load a full Core3 UI project onto it. It doesn't really work (joins don't work, the aspect/rendering is all off)... but it runs Air just fine, so performance isn't the issue as far as we could tell. Crazy...

This would also be a really good selling point for DM room boxes.

Looks like it was designed with the hospitality industry in mind? Large hotels, resorts, that sort of thing.
