Peel made its big debut as a type of universal remote that combined an app with a little piece of pear-shaped hardware. Now, it's picking our world leaders.
According to a new announcement, the Peel TV app accurately called the 2012 presidental election results during October's debates. It wasn't magic, but part of a second-screen interactive feature called the Peel Debate Experience.
The Peel Debate Experience was first announced at the beginning of October 2012. The company launched the second-screen experience in conjunction with Samsung, which makes sense since the Peel Smart Remote TV app comes pre-loaded on Samsung Galaxy devices. The new feature allowed users to "cheer" and/or "boo" for each candidate during the 2012 presidential debates, all in real-time. Viewers could also check out feedback on certain issues and donate directly to each candidate's campaign.
Based on user results, the app picked President Obama as the winner for the 2012 election. Peel also predicted which states each candidate would win, with the exception of three, which were undecided. In the end, the app was mostly accurate. It did miss a few, but that's not too shabby!
Other results state that CBS was the most popular network during the debates, with 24 percent of the vote. NBC was a very close second, with 23 percent of the Peel audience. Also, users seemed to think that Obama was more personable and also had a better necktie.
The Peel Remote TV app comes pre-loaded on all Samsung Galaxy Tab, Tab 2 and Note 10.1 devices. With the app, users can ditch grid-guide TV listing and multiple remotes. Instead, the app provides tailored TV recommendations and shortcuts to channels, for instant gratification.
