Do you think the Galaxy S3 will have Touchwiz on it? I guess I didn't realize not having it third party UIs was a Nexus thing. When I saw the Galaxy Nexus on the press release I was hoping Google was finally getting away from this open source crap that lets everyone put their useless software on all the phones.
