The newest exciting smartphone coming out of the Android camp is of course the much talked about Samsung Nexus Prime, or Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or Verizon Nexus Prime whichever you wish to call it at this moment in time, and today we are treated to a little word on what apps should be available on the Android handset.
According to the guys over at Droid-Life, they call it the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I personally prefer the Samsung Nexus Prime, anyway, the guys over at My Droid World have put up what everyone appears to believe is the “system applications list” for the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset.
The Droid-life guys say that the list shows the Nexus Prime app list doesn’t have any bloatware, although as the device is a “Nexus” they wouldn’t expect any anyway, but does give signs that it doesn’t have any at this time.
The Samsung Nexus Prime will come out to play on Verizon and hence the Verizon Nexus Prime name, the device is also expected to pack NFC, and two in the list stand out, the NFCGoogle.apk and FaceLock.apk, although it wasn’t expected the device would have face recognition just yet.
The guys also state that there is a ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk, which would suggest that you would be able to sync the handset with your Chrome browser.
Anyway, the Nexus Prime apps list goes as follows…

A fairly hefty list to say the least, and apparently according to this list, although a Samsung built handset there doesn’t appear to be any TouchWiz, although I figure that could come along later. Anyone thing there’s anything of value missing from this list?
