Patently Apple:

Korean news sites are reporting today that Samsung Electronics is preparing to launch a text messaging service that can be used on the new Galaxy Note 10, PCs and laptops during the Galaxy Note 10 event early in August. The feature is noted in the reports as being similar to Apple’s iMessage.

To enable users to use text messaging services across different devices, Samsung will join forces with Microsoft to integrate their phone mirroring service Your Phone into the upcoming Galaxy Note 10, according to business newspaper the Korean Economic Daily.

OK, so far so good. But:

The app, which was first launched in March as a beta service, enables multiple cross-device experience by mirroring what appears on the smartphone screen to PCs with Bluetooth connectivity.

Wait, what? This is both confusing and seems a poor substitute for cloud syncing so all devices get all info. This strikes me as a hack.

Am I misunderstanding the description? Or is this a limitation driven by the Samsung/Android/Microsoft architecture?
