First Shot Fired?

Recent rumors suggest that in addition to announcing the SIV on March 14th Samsung will also be unveiling a 3D panoramic software tool called "Samsung Orb". The only problem is that it's a feature that already exists in the Android world since the release of 4.2 on the Nexus 4. Further more, by all accounts the SIV will ship with a TouchWiz skin on top of 4.2. So why go through all of the trouble to include a feature that should by all accounts already be included? The software will also sync naturally with Facebook and noy necessarily with G+. It seems to me that Samsung is intentionally trying to maintain some space from Android/Google. I'm going to predict that in the next year or two there's going to being some sort of power struggle between Google and Samsung; not entirely dissimilar to what seems to be happening now between Verizon and Google (Or I could just being reading way too much into it) http://www.android.gs/samsung-galaxy-s4-photo-sphere/
