As WMC effects from the announcements have been digested and start rolling in phones. TouchWIZ, the Widget interface from Samsung that turned into a hit thanks to the Omnia devices is now going to be part of pretty much close to all samsung phones. it also had repercussions off Samsung as LG did their Flash UI that is now in their runaway hit LG Cookie that is pretty much sold everywhere.
But the touchWIZ UI is what caused that shift of Widget Based Today Screens in Mobile Phones and it resulted so successful that caused hackers to create their own version of it for non samsung phones. but it is clear from what it is known of the next touchflo that this trend is not going to slow down.

IMHO TouchWiz is a disaster! It is all right technically, but it is totally usupported and you can NOT download anything anywhere. There isn’t anything even on the Samsung server! Sooo disapointing!
Samsung still appears to be working with TouchWiz. They just released a new Mobile Widget SDK 1.1.0 for phones using TouchWiz. With that said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see TouchWiz development put on the back burner, due to the rapidly expanding popularity of Android.
