My First Day With The Galaxy Nexus And Ice Cream Sandwich (This Is Really Big)

screenshottopThe Galaxy Nexus is big.There, we've got that out of the way (don't worry, we'll revisit it shortly). Now onto the more important news: Ice Cream Sandwich, the new version of Android that ships on the Galaxy Nexus, represents a big step in the right direction: it's making Android, which has long been faulted for being more confusing than iOS, significantly easier to use.I received my loaner Galaxy Nexus from Google around twenty four hours ago (seven of which I spent in blissful slumber), so this post can't be considered a review. Rather, think of it as my early impressions. I know what's new, and I think I know which changes I like, but I'm still in the honeymoon-slash-'Why is this different?!' phase. With that said, let's get to it.As I noted before, one of the big themes in ICS, which is both perfectly understandable and mildly frustrating at times, is a push to make Android easier to use for people who aren't 'power users'. Some buttons have vanished. Others have been made more readily visible. And for the most part, Google has achieved its goal.
