Android’s own Ice Cream Sandwich – we’re getting there fast!

You know what they say: it depends to whom you’re talking to. For them, it’s a fragmentation issue. Since the beginning Google wasn’t able to steer the O.E.M manufacturers into the right direction, a.k.a “release-phones-with-the-latest-OS”. Like this guy said, it’s only business; you want the latest OS, get a new phone!
And then, there’s the rest of us (me included!) looking at this from a positive point of view. Ice Cream Sandwich was launched less than 2 months ago, 3 days before the Galaxy Nexus took off and it’s already close to 1% in “market” share. Well, more like 0,6%, but that was a few days ago!:-) It’s also important to note that there are three versions out there and they are split on only two devices: Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the last year’s hit, Samsung Nexus S, which is not even completely updated yet! Even so, that’s a huge leap in a very short time!
Again, let’s look at the chart above and think positive: Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) make up the most of today’s Android OS phones out there: ~85%.
Fragmentation? Fahgettaboudit!

Galaxy Nexus tip: never trust a commercial!

Ever since I started taking notice on the Ice Cream Sandwich OS, I loved the default Live wallpaper, the one pictured above! I even put the ripped version on my old Desire HD.
Guess what? Although I got the Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone Romania (same picture), there’s no favorite Live wallpaper baked in the OS. Not this one. There are others. But not the one I like.
Other than that, great build!

Still not getting the ropes with the updates, Google?

It’s been years now since Google updates our phones from one version to another. The operators, too! And they still manage to screw-up our phones.

Nexus S and ICS this time.
