This doesn't make any sense to me but maybe you Android users understand what is going on here...

Quote:While hardware junkies like myself may have spent the past few weeks drooling over the Galaxy Nexus, the onstage demo of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich proves that the software powering the device is just as impressive (if not a little moreso).

Our hands-on with the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming shortly, but here’s a quick rundown of what Android 4.0 will be bringing to the table come November.

A new phone, the Galaxy Nexus, is going to be the first phone with Android 4.0
Then they list the new features to the OS.
That's about it.
■Flexible Widgets: Ice Cream Sandwich’s stock widgets are resizable and more robust than previous versions. They also now occupy their own separate space in the app drawer.


I use the Zeam launcher, so I've been able to do this for a long time now.

■Taking Screenshots: This one has been a long time coming. Hold down the power button and the volume down button to snap a screenshot.

Finally. But I can't say I'd use it much.

■Face Unlock: One of the most ambitious is Ice Cream Sandwich’s new Face Unlock feature, which allows users to unlock their handsets just by looking into the front-facing camera.


Sounds pretty sweet.
yeah. my widgets are resizable. Screen shots would be cool, but like Chip, I don't really have a practical use for that. I do like the front facing camera, and face unlock for sure.

This is one way to get around it whenever Facebook blocks saving a picture that someone has posted. Look at it on fb mobile and screenshot it.
Yea u never realize how important screen shots are till u can't take them. I know it sounds dumb but trust me.

You've never had a gingerbread cookie?
They're awesome.

Google gives each version of Android a code name, some random food name, in alphabeticle order.

Frozen Yogurt
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice Cream Sandwich

I'm not a recent acquirer, but I will not buy another iPhone. Fuck you and your fucking douchebag company. Now go ahead and make a fucking app that calculates how fast the maggots will eat your corpse.
