More minuses than plusses with Android 4.0

January 06, 2012   |   10 comments
For the past three weeks or so I’ve been using Android 4.0.3 Ice-Cream Sandwich, not on the latest and greatest Galaxy Nexus, but on its predecessor, the Nexus S Googlephone of yesteryear which is one of the few with an official ICS update available. Much has been said of Galaxy Nexus, but how does it feel for someone upgrading?
 
The good
Boot speed is much, much, faster than before. The aesthetics, Holo theme and new Roboto font make a big difference and make text crisper and give a generally more modern, more digital feel after years of Eclair and Gingerbread. But that is just eye candy.
 
Perhaps the biggest improvement for those on a pure Google ROM is the keyboard. Text auto-correction is much more intelligent when it comes to missed characters. It is also much better at guessing a word with a missing letter, which Gingerbread was not good at.
 
Of course, those with a Swype keyboard or other after-market keyboard would probably not see the difference.
 
ICS has taken many cues from the modding community in its lock screen, and you can now launch the camera directly from the lock screen, something Cyanogen 7 Gingerbread has been able to do for quite a while. Users can also access many settings directly from the pull down notification tab. It is not as customizable as CM7, but it a major step forward compared to Vanilla Gingerbread.
 
The different
The menu system has been rationalized. For instance, SIP VoIP has been moved to a sub-menu under the phone interface. In a way this makes sense but takes a bit of getting used to.
 
Adding widgets is now via a Honeycomb style interface, where the widget is selected from a list then placed, rather than placed first and then selected from a list. Icons can be stacked in folders, and this in a way compensates for the lack of screen real-estate.

True, in the vast majority of the cases the finish product is not going to rival anything that Mozart released, but just because you (or a child) may not be the preferred there at any time was in composing song doesn't suggest the attempt is not worth your time and effort.If you follow who reasoning for what reason would a young child learn to walk or perhaps run when he or she knows this individual could never ever walk or simply run as well as, say, Michael jordan? Why would most likely they learn to talk when they knew they could never speak as well as Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan?

Similarly, imagine should Mozart's parents had not given him the chance to be exposed to music and then the conventional training who gave him the various tools to get started composing song
