Samsung doesn't need help building hardware. They need help building software. I suspect that's why they bought Boxee.

For example, parental controls should be available through your phone. You should be able to see what your kid is watching and also force them to watch something else "remotely", even if you're on vacation. or maybe they are staying up too late and you turn the TV off for them.
There are many other ideas but that sounds like one of the more useful ones as opposed to being more gimmicky (like gesture commands).
Their TVs seem to be getting better at least. Some previous Samsung TV's I've owned have been atrocious in the UI department.
