Quite impressive. 10 for performance and software (iPhone 4S received 8 and 9). The device seems to be very good, but ICS is the star here. I am eagerly waiting to receive the update at my Nexus S.

I'm very curious to see hands on reviews of ICS on the tablet form factor. When are the first tablets supposed to ship with or receive the ICS update??

Disappointed by the camera though - 5 MPs is fine if the sensors are up to scratch, but the 4S's camera is just so outstanding (and 8 MPs) that a so-so camera might actually swing it for me.

No proper announcements yet; but Asus seems to be saying early December for the Transformer.

For anyone with the Galaxy Nexus here, I'd like to point you in the direction of the pressureNET (https://market.android.com/details?id=ca.cumulonimbus.barome...) as you are in a new group of Android users that have barometers! I'm the author of this app, and we're building a crowd-sourced network of live-updating Android barometers in hopes that we can improve short-term weather prediction. The app is open source and free, of course! You can get the code at cumulonimbus.ca

Edit: Most of our users are on the Xoom (and some other tablets). I have not been able to test on the Galaxy Nexus yet. If you have bug reports, please send them to software@cumulonimbus.ca

Am I the only one who thinks that a 10/10 is... let's say, hard to believe ? What does that mean? In terms of software, it doesn't have bugs, it's completeley optimized and you have days of battery life and tons of available memory ? Is the integration of all functionalities perfect ? You don't need task managers to kill faulty apps ?

Anyhow, we are in a free world where everyone can make reviews and I'm glad we are in that world.

The TouchPad and Nook will be running ICS very soon.

What's the current rumor for ICS release to other phone/tablet models? Such as the Nexus S?
