Personally, I would never trust likes of showbox or popcorntime for same reason I would never torrent music,tv show or film.

The amount of times I've had to fix PC's (60 or 70 in the last 3 years) riddled with malware because they've used many 'free' apps to view sports and tv/movies or downloaded music would put anyone off.
Never had a problem with showbox over the years, works well on my android box as well. Movie hd Is the latest one out

I use Kodi on my PC without issue, I have it on my tablet and funnily enough, on my Android tv box too. Mobdro I used exclusively for sports though. As far as I can tell, I'm virus free on all devices. Kodi and Mobdro are gold.

I use firstrowsports if I'm desperate, a million pop-ups and click aways but no viruses yet. Mobdro streamed to my chrome cast or playing straight from the android TV has done away with the need for firstrowsports though...

Sorry for going so off topic people...

Nooooo, I like them separate!

I would imagine you will be able to still access them separately, same as on BB - except there will also be this optional 'hub' that will compile them together.

The big question however will be how will the hub support third party services outside of Samsung stock apps. So if you get your email via Outlook or Gmail apps, will it be accessible ? Will Facebook / WhatsApp or other third party SMS like Textra & Google messaging be supported ?

If it is restricted to stock apps and essentially 'notifications' then it really will be just another feature your unlikely to use outside of the initial week you get your device whilst your still in the 'novelty' period.

bad news for those wanting a flat note 7

Galaxy Note 7 to have dual-edge curved design, no flat variant in the works

Yeah, your picture describes my feelings as well. What miffs me is why no one is trying to solve the problem of touching the screen by accident just by holding it. I have issues with my Note 5 at times, and can only imagine how much worse that would be if it had curved edges.

I do think Samsung is making the right move in not introducing multiple models. They make way too many phones and sub models and should pull back and concentrate on less phones but more quality/R&D, etc.

Rendered pics of the Note 7 based on rumors/leaks, but it seems like this is what it will look like, of course adding the gaudy Samsung logo to it. It does look pretty sweet and reminds me that part of the reason I would choose this is the ridiculously small size of the phone itself compared to the screen. Versus phones like the iphone 6s+ and the Nexus 6p which have comically large bezels for the same if not less sized screen.

Same here. The iphone bezels, particularly on the plus models are ridiculous.
