The competition: Google introduces Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus


The keynote went a little bad over in Hong Kong with both the Facial Recognition and the Quick Response features not working or crashing the device. Overall though, there are some interesting new features that certainly differentiate Android from iOS and Windows Phone 7.
As for the Galaxy Nexus Phone, it has a 5-megapixel camera which has to be a letdown when compared to 8 megapixel cameras that are standardizing on the high end across the industry.  Its most impressive feature (unless you are trying to squeeze it into your pocket) has to be the 4.65-inch 720P display.  Although Pentile – which means not every pixel gets RGB dots, it does get close to Apple’s 320PPI retina display with a 315PPI density.  Like the as yet unpopular Honeycomb tablets, it doesn’t have any front facing buttons but has screen buttons that shift around as well as all of those new Android 4.0 features.
