There is a lot of speculation surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S3 such as processor speed, screen size, memory size, sensors, camera resolution, and what version of the Android operating system will be deployed. There is also speculation if Samsung will add a software layer on top Android to make it more like the iphone.
Is it possible that Samsung would include the Nunchi App with this handset? Although not impossible, I do think it is extremely unlikely. When a non-standard app is included in a new handset, it is known as "bloatware". This happens when a Network operator forces the manufacturer to include the app before the operator will sell the handset for use on their network. These apps cannot be removed by the user. "Bloatware" has been a revenue generator for the Network operator, since the App developer often has to pay large sums of money for the App to be included in the Bloat. There has been a lot of consumer push-back to this type of marketing, as consumers want to choose which apps they will have on their phone, and not be forced to have apps they do not want. Since E.Digital does not currently have the funds to support this type of transaction, I think it is unlikely we will see Nunchi on the S3.
