I'm not so sure. Google is stronger for software, whereas companies like Samsung, Sony, HTC etc. are better at hardware, which is my their marriage with Android has worked so well. The likes of Sense and Touchwiz do add some nice features, but they also add a lot of rubbish. It will take ages for hardware-focused companies like Samsung to catch up with Google's software experience.

He was being sarcastic =P From my experience with a galaxy s2, most of the software from Samsung is not that great (and can't be removed without installing something like cyanogen... quite annoying).
