Just when they announced that more than 5 million F480 units has been shipped to date, Samsung is out with yet another number. This time the Korean giant is claiming a quarter (25%) of the overall touchscreen phone market!
Most of the devices shipped run Samsung’s own widget-friendly TouchWIZ UI, although some models for North America like the Instinct have a different kind of interface.
On that note, it would be interesting to see what kind of UI will they bring to Android. Will they port TouchWIZ to Google’s platform or go for Android’s native interface, like the one we’ve seen on the HTC Dream (G1) and Magic? Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them unveiling a TouchWIZ-enabled Android phone. After all, Samsung has already brought its UI to Windows Mobile and Symbian, hence conquering another platform doesn’t seem that problematic. We’ll have to wait and see…
