Presumably on-screen function buttons would only show up on a device without capacitive buttons. It would be silly to have duplicates taking up extra screen space on older devices.

The images do seem suspect though.

While thats true, I still wouldn't consider that pic as real. Sniggs made a good point about the version number which seals the deal on its lack of authenticity.
Thanks sniggs, I totally smacked myself for not seeing that initially.. lol Thats one of those "how did i miss it" things. ;)

I knew something looked odd about that picture. Edited the article, you're definitely right on that.

Thanks, Michael! You listen to user input AND you gave me credit for seeing the clue! Just two more reasons you're my favorite writer on the site! :)

Okay, done kissing ass now. ;)

There's always value in the crowd. I know you guys will see things I don't. The comments help me be a better writer.

That said, I'm a little surprised no one noticed the kernel version number issue. I didn't even notice until I checked my Nexus One and saw that even Cyanogen uses a newer kernel than was listen in that image.

Sadly, I'm not technical enough to have noticed the kernel number. Which is why you're writing the articles and I'm not. :)

I'm sure that given enough time someone else probably would've spotted the kernel issue as well.

On a side note, I'm still excited to see what Ice Cream Sandwich ends up looking like, especially with manufacturer skins over it. And I really, really hope my Atrix is eligible for the update.

I really hope that google starts putting at least some minor limitations on skins if they want ICS. I also hope.. and i'm pretty sure i wont get it, that ICS will only be backwards compatable with dual core phones or single core hummingbird processors at bare minimum. Sorry, but that whole "fragmentation" issue could easily be solved with those 2 limits going forward. It wont stop it over night of course, but it can make it nearly disappear within the next year or so.

Put ICS on the tablets and high end android phones and leave gingerbread on the budget guys. That would make it easier on Devs and buyers alike.

looks like a wannabe rom, like remixfa said its tooo much like touchwiz and sniggly is right about the android version...at least it looks clean but still fake.

Its is a preproduction build though so who knows. It definitely could be fake though.

But google hasnt given it offical number yet so y wouldnt it just be nickname this is a very early version of it imo

13. Sniggly posted on 11 Aug 2011, 18:01 0 0

I've never seen Google put anything but a version number in that field, even in leaked screenshots prerelease. And believe me, I've watched leaks like this for over a year. ;)

Ok but remember this is a whole new world of android now they may be handling things diffrently since this is suppose to combine phones an tabs together an the pull down is diffrent look at the X

I saw the android police article said google doesn't know what version number it is yet and that is why it isn't displayed. They haven't decided.

yep that was a dead giveaway when i looked at it.

Don't blame PA, it all over the internet. PA is just posting this like everything else is.

Anyway, it's def a fake. ICS is going to look much more like honeycomb, just made for your cell phone.

20. Sniggly posted on 11 Aug 2011, 18:42 1 0

It honestly looks to me like a modded Touchwiz. It's not different enough to be Honeycomb.

21. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 11 Aug 2011, 19:36 1 0

Yea it is def a fake. I know ICS is going to be a huge difference and this is hardly nothing at all.
