the best video review on ics....really got you to "really feel" the os..is it wp7/ios smooth ? whatabout the keyboard ?

[OriginalThinking]

@sonisoe Yes. The majority of your experience will be spent wondering why hardware acceleration hasn't been in Android since the beginning. The keyboard is seriously, seriously good. Error prediction and correction is so much better.

Just another question. What are your thoughts on the battery life compared to the Galaxy S2? I know iPhone 4s stands no chance. :P

[OriginalThinking]

@Dariangoh90 It's still so early to tell. With light usage it's impressive though. After 13 hours I still have about 50% battery. That's full sync on everything, 3g on, web browsing, FB, Twitter, G+, Youtube, E-mail. Showing friends face unlock. No calls, but a bunch of texts. It's the screen that kills the battery more than anything else. Long web browsing sessions will hurt. I'll have a good idea by Friday.

is good to have live wallpaper as option :) overall, good review!

[OriginalThinking]

@wenxiang8 Absolutely, I would agree choice is what makes Android so great. I'm sure with some optimisation work all live wallpapers should be improved. Time will tell.

does the samsung galaxy nexus have an app store and video chat?

Android with no lag and more of a personality is a perfect mobile platform.
