Samsung tried that with Bada, too. It didn't work. I think people are really underestimating the power of an ecosystem. Look at WP8 how much it's struggling in low single digits even after billions invested in deals and promotions, and money paid to developers to make apps.

Samsung has nothing. It doesn't even have the content Amazon has, which only got popular with Kindle Fire because people were looking for a "hero" against the iPad, and their very affordable $200 "Android-based" tablet seemed to be that one.

Or that Samsung Kies crapware.

You speak the truth! Even when they're copying experiences, there's always a rough edge hanging out that makes you wince.

>>>Has any software produced by Samsung ever made you say "I wish I could use more of this"? Touchwiz?

From what I have seen from users on YouTube, the multi-window feature Sammy brought to Android looks good. And actually does screen splitting better than Windows 8 (no fixed width presets).
