Official ICS & Galaxy Nexus Launch Thread

[vshah]

YES background data restriction per app. i have been waiting for this!

 

[abaez]

The hardware isn't that exciting, but damn if ICS doesn't look really good.

 

[Dominato3r]

Wow that's a fast camera

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

If that makes you feel better than whatever you say.

lol being honest and realizing that certain things need improvement is important. if not you're just being a blind fanboy.

anyone should be able to look at ICS and figure that Honeycomb was a hackjob designed to compete with the iPad, and even Android 2.0 was testing grounds.... a lot of development has been desperate efforts to slow down the iPhone....

Nice, that camera is fast.

Check that, it's REALLY fast

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Woah, Camera was fast.

Okay, they multi shot, and that was INSANELY fast.

 

[Anubis]

Woah, Camera was fast.

yea the vid on TIMN had them snapping away and it was pretty ridic for a phone, it puts pretty much any other android one to shame and should compete well with the new one on the 4s

 

[zinfamous]

OK, that shutter lag is awesome.

Anyone else think they are borrowing a bit from WP7? Swiping to get to more of the app, the 'action' bar at the bottom? It's not a lot thus far.

I like the network/background app control.

 

[seepy83]

All the new stuff they're revealing is cool, but I'm not seeing anything that will convert iPhone users.

 

[vshah]

ahaha "any number of hipster filters"

It seems like a blend of WP7 and iOS5

With a name like Ice Cream Sandwich I'm hoping something revolutionary

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Wow, that panorama feature, you can see it taking pictures ridiculously fast.

 

[Bateluer]

Yep, buying the Galaxy Nexus.

 

[vshah]

Yep, buying the Galaxy Nexus.

pretty much this.

It's like me saying I was pretty justified in flaming iOS releases or WP7 release but if it makes you feel better then more power to you.

Pictures while video recording. Continuous focus and anytime zoom. Pretty sweet. Time lapse too.

 

[Red Storm]

Yep, buying the Galaxy Nexus.

Me first! :awe:

 

[Dominato3r]

So many people were shitting it because of the camera, it's fucking amazing.

...not so far.

 

[Anubis]

yea the megapixel count really isnt important

 

[abaez]

Those videos looked really damn good.

edit: lol.. i'm glad my "peeps" will always be a few taps away

You forgot Panarama.

 

[ChronoReverse]

They're really stealing the best from webos and wp7. This is a good thing
