> Despite being pre-installed on Galaxy phones, Samsung's ChatON messaging service gained few adherents and closed without fanfare in March, while the Milk Video app, a high profile project run by newly hired U.S. executives, lasted a year, closing in November.
I'm not sure any of that would increase my likelihood of buying a Samsung phone, even if they were excellently implemented. Everyone wants to be the lord of their platform with the benefits that come from taxing their locked-in serfs, but I don't know if there's room for more.
