Well, it's certainly quite a shabby and un-ambitious way to finally reveal it (since the initial product it releases with is also a statement in itself). If they would have revealed with a bang they could have really keyed in on those who were let down by the 4S's upgrade and capitalised on a potential new market of users. Instead I feel like they're potentially giving it away again.

Anyway, will wait for the actual conference before making any final judgements.

Give what away? Their ever increasing market share?

WTF, the stream loads fine in IE, but not in Chrome - total fail Google - likely just some foreshadowing for this conference.

Lol at all of the Droid brand phone complaints. As a previous owner of the original Droid, I feel you guys. What a piece of shit. I could never quite tell if the problems were mostly due to the Android software or Motorola's hardware. I had friends with LG, Samsung, and HTC phones who also had problems, but none of them seemed as severe as the ones I had with the Droid.

I just got the droid X because it was at the time Flagship, looked cool and had a 4.3" screen

it's a good phone but sometimes it goes ultra turbo full retard mode @ random.

Looks more like a lack of network connection error to me. It is popping up all over the place.

Give away a whole new market of potential disgruntled iPhone users (like me). Also, isn't the iPhone's market share also increasing? Just because you're doing well doesn't mean you can't find ways to do better.

Im guessing its not a big jump from the GS II then, will the GS II be getting Ice Cream Sandwich?
Click to expand...
I think most dual core phones will be getting Ice cream sandwich. All my Android phones purchased have received at least one big update...If you have a dual core you're probably getting ICS.

At this point, its in Google's best interest to lay low until the Motorola deal goes through. Their dominance is freaking everyone out.

Iphone market share has been flat lined for quite a while.

Why would you need a dual-core CPU for ICS?

Unlike Apple this is not the only phone you have to choose from, you have choices.

Back to Apple obviously.

Basically for me it was...

4S reveal: WTF is this bullshit incremental release. Smh I'm going Android.
Potential Nexus reveal: WTF Google is pulling this shit too. Smh 4S it is then.

Along those lines anyway.

Except, as someone said, this is hardly going to be the only phone with ICS.

Yeah, the Droid looked cool when I first got it, too. Mine went full retard mode quite often, which made it quite a bad phone.

How do you figure? People were voicing their opinions about various Droid phones so I chimed in. I couldn't care less about the Droid RAZR stuff, or anything else from Motorola at this point, so I'm not even checking on that thread.

Then you must not be that disgruntled. I don't you can compare the IPhone 4 -> 4S upgrade to say a Galaxy S2 -> Nexus Prime.

New android phones are coming out all the time and the Galaxy S2 just came out not too long ago so obviously you can't expect a big jump in hardware.

If you want to make a fair comparison, compare the jump from a Galaxy S 1 (similar release to IPhone 4) to the Nexus Prime.

Camera, GPU and battery details?
Click to expand...

By now there aren’t many surprises left, but Google and Samsung have officially announced the Galaxy Nexus. The flagship phone features a 4.65-inch 1280 x 720 HD Super AMOLED screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and of course Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. There’s 1GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB internal memory, and a 1750mAh battery. The Galaxy Nexus has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, which Samsung says will take stills “with zero shutter lag” and video up to 1080p at 30fps, and on the front a 1.3 megapixel camera for video calling.
