Google never puts the dessert name on the *finished* version of a phone, but we all know that Google still probably hasn't decided whether this is Android 2.4, 4.0 or 3.5.

true... so is this is Android way of losing a prototype?... at least the one from Apple was entertaining.... good story Michael like always.... though

we kinda see leaks from newest versions of android like a month from release.... I remember when Gingerbread was going around and with honeycomb too, I think they are done intentionally

Google does not stoop down to apple's level of super security systems and losing prototypes.

They'd rather have one person leak some of it and put all the hype in there, unlike all these articles with senseless hype about the iPhone5.

We need more hype and iSheep will buy this product since iSheep just buy products because of the brand and hype.

unless android is using launcher pro on the next version, id say this is a fake.. and a boring one at that. it looks a lot like the last fake. lol

its good to remember that if the device has touch buttons like the nexus S some things may need to be arranged, if newer devices have no touch buttons and use a slightly different layout for the user interface we might be looking at how ICS looks on a device with touch buttons on it... maybe? just maybe

I have seen that icon elsewhere. It's also on the xperia launcher, this could be a Custom rom alright, but what has my senses tingling is the user, he might have bought a moded phone without notice, but the accuracy of the previous 4chan guy with this might be a bit weird, we can always say someone took the 4chan post and tried turning it into something real like, but again things need time to be worked out and I must say that thing looks faster, so it's hard to tell its some cooked rom

I agree,, and this is a great looking launcher, available in the android market :)

wrong 1.you cant download a status bar from the market.
2. The camera app is different (cant download that either)
2. The running apps list cannot be downloaded from there either

mario,
we call that a "custom ROM". My phone has one. doesnt look like stock/manufacturer either. There are plenty floating around, especially at XDA.

Fail entirely. That looks stupid, why not keep it the same and Green is better than blue. But then again, Android is so ass backwards.

27. protozeloz posted on 28 Sep 2011, 20:48 0 0

LOL why is green better than blue?

29. Thump3rDX17 posted on 28 Sep 2011, 20:55 0 0

actually yeah, i like the green better too. it should be blue for tablets and green for phones or make a theme setting.

I can think of way more reasons to jump ship. Coming from Android to iOS is like coming from a turd filled bag to a shiny golden apple.

Android should focus on geting Gingerbread to all the android phones before they add another update.... just my 2 cents

38. p0rkguy posted on 28 Sep 2011, 22:57 2 0

Android does focus on getting Gingerbread out, carriers don't. Blame your carrier, not Android.

If that is ICS, I'm going to laugh my head off! Unless there's obvious proof you have off course...

32. toaster posted on 28 Sep 2011, 21:14 0 0

Virtual AND capacitive buttons are a bit redundant, no? It'd only make sense for the virtual buttons to appear on a phone that doesn't have any buttons, meaning that we probably won't see them on devices that are out right now.

or maybe this is what we see

Oh and don't go installing this, this is not a trusted source.

I Looks smooth to me too, maybe its a hardware accelerated UI? and if its a leak... how far it might be from being a final build? alpha? beta?

1) webOS is dead

2) a person who (helped?) design webos is working for google. its more inspired by webos

44. MichaelHeller posted on 29 Sep 2011, 00:07 2 0

You are right taco, as I mention in the article, Matias Duarte who was the lead designer on webOS now works for Google. He led the Honeycomb design and he is leading the IcS design

It's a problem when google uses the card approach its immediately flagged as a "copycat" yet the playbook shows cards, simbian shows cards, windows mobile shows cards. But Hatters will hate and trolls will troll

the Playbook has cards straight up just like webOS.
Google needs a fresh new approach in design. too many different elements that are similar to other Operating Systems coming together.
