A picture of the Samsung Galaxy phone TouchWiz interface running the default messaging application or a stock Android 2.2/2.3 interface running the default messaging application.

TIA.

Those are odd looking default messaging applications.

This is the only decently good image I could find of TouchWiz:


Stock Android list view:


Stock Android message view:


Basically, the TouchWiz UI just uses the same messaging app, but with a darker skin.

Did Google steal the old iTunes icon?

Thanks imitchellg5, but I'm working on a report which focuses on the lawsuit between Apple and Samsung. One of the patents involves the iChat interface which may be used by Samsung. The one where the bubbles pop up and alternate left and right. Is that part of the TouchWiz or Android messaging application? If so, can I get a screenshot? Thanks.

It's a part of TouchWiz. As you can see above, the stock Android messaging app doesn't have bubbles, it just uses different shading to differentiate between sent and received. (It's worth noting that a lot of third-party messaging apps use the bubbles as well)
