Minecraft in the limelight. Woo!

 

[golem]

microsoft is going to sue the hell out of google now

Metro dev team must be pretty peeved right now LOL

 

[Cipherr]

Yeah, I'm really not liking it. I thought Gingerbread was pretty good, and really would have preferred they continued in that direction.

This new UI seems a bit too mish-mashy. It doesn't seem very consistent in its visual presentation.

I am seeing more consistency than ever in this. What exactly is it that you are seeing thats not consistent. Everything from the grid, the menus, the gestures even finally seem to have consistency across the OS.

 

[nib95]

Beam is awesome. No doubt.

 

[teiresias]

what if a stranger bumps my phone? will he access my phone?

You have to confirm a beam with a screen touch.

 

[alternade]

Im loving everything i see so far!

 

[clav]

Native beam?

Holy shit.

 

[Bad_Boy]

might be time to drop my droid 1. hopefully this new job comes threw next week so i can afford such things.

 

[gcubed]

microsoft is going to sue the hell out of google now

no

 

[Zozz]

Shit

 

[Eric C]

this is built into hp touchpad/pre 3 as well.

make them touch and it'll send websites.

I know webos already did android beam.

 

[planar1280]

Screen needs to be on

unlocked?

 

[D4Danger]

microsoft is going to sue the hell out of google now

If I were Microsoft I'd just let this go

I wouldn't want anyone thinking this is anything like Metro

 

[Orayn]

Im loving everything i see so far!

Same, I just want it one something with a <4" screen and a hardware keyboard. Is there room for me in your future, Google?

 

[Oozer3993]

Say it's coming out for Xoom right now, dammit!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Bump to get an app is boss.

But I'll never use it since no one I know but me will have an Android 4.0 phone.

 

[Cipherr]

fuck YES API SDK available right NOW. Works across phones and tablets. Nice.

 

[kehs]

unlocked?

Nfc works 3-5mm distance

 

[Hieberrr]

I NEED THIS ON THE GALAXY S! FUCK CMON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gcubed]

If I were Microsoft I'd just let this go

I wouldn't want anyone thinking this is anything like Metro

lest they get confused with a successful OS?

 

[jersoc]

the beam is pretty neat. nov can't come soon enough.

 

[brotkasten]

He looks and sounds exhausted.

 

[teiresias]

This guy looks like he's constantly trying to pull his head down into his torso.

 

[DrFunk]

LOL

No carrier announcement? lowdown, indeed

 

[andycapps]

I'm still very impressed by ICS and the Galaxy Nexus. Cannot wait to get it on my phone/get a new phone now.

 

[Chesskid1]

fuck YES API SDK available right NOW. Works across phones and tablets. Nice.

what does that mean? that people can just start developing for it right? that's about it?

 

[scorcho]

Microsoft isn't going to sue Google, they'll just use that to leverage more of a ransom from mobile manufacturers that make Android devices.

 

[alternade]

no launch details?

 

[clav]

This showing is probably the best Android presentation by far.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Time to download the SDK...

 

[def sim]

wait

fuck

what carrier/s in the us god damn it

 

[kinggroin]

Alright sold. Its pretty much Android (almost) perfected.


JUST YOU WAIT TILL JELLYBEAN!

 

[D4Danger]

lest they get confused with a successful OS?

metro isn't an OS

nice try

 

[Timan]

Where is this phone at

 

[Frustrated_me]

@ the people comparing this to metro: lol.

 

[Cipherr]

Bump to get an app is boss.

But I'll never use it since no one I know but me will have an Android 4.0 phone.

A year or two from now though, the benefit of it will be pretty major. Its more of a nice feature to be native for the future once saturation hits.

 

[Brinbe]

Cool, can't wait to get it hooked up on my TP... The new features, especially browser improvements/Chrome bookmark sync, are awesome.

UI does look a bit blah, but luckily, that can be easily customized anyway.

 

[Toki767]

Man, so what are the odds this will come out on non dual-core phones?

 

[CaLe]

Repeating my question since this thread is going so fast:

If I buy this in the US, will I be able to unlock it ?

How strict is Google with the unlocks, are they like Apple ?

 

[kehs]

Dear Microsoft,

Start getting W8 ready.

Sincerely,
Stock holders.

 

[brochiller]

Very impressed with this. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

[RS4-]

I want it.

Have to sell my iphone 4.

 

[daoster]

All over my face...GIVE IT TO ME.

 

[Davidion]

Lots of interesting executions, looking forward to using the new OS.

On the fence about buying a new phone though; I'd have to use one to see if it's really worth the upgrade.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

OK, so when the hell will this be open sourced Google?

 

[Argyle]

even this constant focus on horizontal swiping to access different functions of an app owes a generous amount to WP7 and Metro. egad.

Haha, more like webos, I think...

 

[Yeah_its_Bob]

Wheres my T mobile preorder page dammit!!

 

[Blackhead]

No pricing info, specific carrier (i.e. AWS?) support, and no demo of ICS on tablets. still a decent event though and I'm getting this device day one it's available for T-Mobile/Wind/Mobilicity.

Repeating my question since this thread is going so fast:

If I buy this in the US, will I be able to unlock it ?

How strict is Google with the unlocks, are they like Apple ?

Google's Nexus phones are almost always sold unlocked.

 

[peppermints]

Want it nowwwww. Can't wait for source code to be out.

 

[brotkasten]

Well, that was boring.
