If anyone can actually pull it off in the mobile space at this time, its definitely Samsung and a little competition to Apple would only do the customers some good :)

SS of course wants to be in Apple's position and who don't? But SS weakest department is software. Just compare S-Voice to Siri and especially to Google Voice search to see that.

So it's a tough job for SS, this is mobile ecosystem war and even MS is too late let alone SS.

you are right about the software but samsung has been around longer than ms. a relatively small hiccup actually. they have proved to be capable and all they need is more work and dedication

They need to hire some of the those people from XDA to get them started in there software business, we don't need crap we need perfection from Samsung.

Not a good thing. Google should break away from the stupid copycat company as soon as possible.

Well considering Samsung is 40% of Android market share Google will be a fool to let them go... How many of those 1.3 million activations a day do you think is android... Samsung estimates to sold 50million devices last quarter how many do you think was android... When you see android numbers rising who do you think is the majority number behind that... My guess it's Samsung so it will be foolish of Google to even consider getting rid of Samsung... Remember Google make there money of ads the more android out there the More money they make... Ps everyone copies everyone... Just look at the recent HTC phones and see how they look lumias... Look at ios and some of its features it copied from android and others... There is no one that that is copycat free... You are always going to be copying someone whether it's through look or by patents.

A perfect opportunity to serve an unmet need.

People like you always seem to complain about the plastic on Samsung devices, I don't really get why because 2 to 1 your going to have your phone in some type of phone case which is going to change the look and feel. That's like having a bad ass chick and shes always covered up like shes from the middles east, and how is the hardware cheap when apple uses some of the hardware made by Samsung.

Guess what I would bet majority of those who by a tw phone love you it... Stock just doesn't provide some of the features that dating does... Again what may be rubbish to the tech enthusiasts are enjoyed by millions of normal consumers... Who do you think Samsung wants to sell to the larger the broad consumers or the minority of people who like to root etc... Not disagreeing with you that stock isn't good its why I use nova launcher to get the stock home look but I love the camera on the s3 and it's features compared to the limited camera of Android... Also love some features like direct call, flip to mute etc etc.. Yes some are gimmicks but some actually come very useful when phones start to get big
