    2 line preview, email taskbar, screenshots: I didn't realize that that stuff wasn't already in Android

    Mobile data usage alerts is a great idea though; sad that it's necessary these days. :(

    overall, i am underwhelmed...

    most users are on 2.3... those(not all) with tablets are on 3.0 (very few judging by the sales figures), i was hoping for more from 4.0

    Keep in mind there are no capacitive touch buttons. It could easily be around the same size as many of these 4.3" phones.

    Same. Very disappointed that they did not announce hardware acceleration.

    I thought this was supposed to be a big part of ICS? Some of the blogs saying that Android 'lag' is still there.

    If they didn't add hardware acceleration, that's a major fail by Google.

    I THINK IT HAS IT!!!!

    http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html


    Hardware Acceleration

    Beginning with Android 4.0, hardware acceleration for all windows is enabled by default if your application has set either targetSdkVersion or minSdkVersion to “14" or higher. Hardware acceleration generally results in smoother animations, smoother scrolling, and overall better performance and response to user interaction.

    If necessary, you can manually disable hardware acceleration with the hardwareAccelerated attribute for individual <activity> elements or the <application> element. You can alternatively disable hardware acceleration for individual views by calling setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE).

    For more information about hardware acceleration, including a list of unsupported drawing operations, see the Hardware Acceleration document.

    That would be a good thing, though you'd have to wonder why they wouldn't mention it.

    No...if I wanted a a 4.65 inch phone...i would buy one. Im using Android on the dual boot for the HP Touchpad. Yes, I know it's alpha.......However, the general feel of Android is "meh". I like webOS and IOS5 better.
