... I think I'll wait until Tuesday before guessing. I don't want to look like an idiot when I'm proved wrong! :)

Aw, where's the fun in that? I'm hoping it means that the code will be made open-source. I want to see a race between the Nexus Prime launch date and Cyanogen to get the first ICS devices in the wild.

I really hope Samsung and Google doesn't bust an Apple with this announcement. Everyone was only disappointed with the announcement of the iPhone 4S, because they were only presented with an updated version of the iPhone 4 instead of a completely redesigned monster. With all the monstrous rumored specs surrounding the Nexus Prime, there is a high possibility of disappointment in this announcement, but at the same time a possibility of excitement if the rumored specs materializes.

The Nexus Prime will certainly have the redesign factor in play, we'll have to wait and see on the rest of the announcements.

Even if the specs aren't as hugely monstrous as some of the rumors have it, the fact that they'll fit it with a 720p screen, keep it that thin and still shoehorn in LTE will be impressive. Even if it's "only" a dual core OMAP4.

What makes it impressive is the 720p screen. Leaving that out would be a disappointment.

If you want a guess, here's the guess: Google and Samsung will not only actually launch Ice Cream Sandwich for download the same day, but that download will physically transform every single device, even an iPhone, into a Nexus Prime. Then in an act of pure goodwill, they will reveal that they have resurrected Steve Jobs AND put the magic back in Christmas. The Nexus Prime will be available for free off contract on any carrier in the US, even the prepaids, and the plans will be free. Anyone who gets the download or a standalone Prime on Tuesday will also get a free ticket to Heaven, which will never expire and will be usable immediately.
Oh and there will be actual Ice Cream Sandwiches.
And pie.
And a free basket of puppies.
Is that a good enough prediction for you, Michael? ;)

Man, I could really go for an ice cream sandwich now. The rest of that stuff I can take or leave.

You know what though Sniggly? no matter the situation or circumstances, you really shouldn't joke about a dead person. I'm not saying this as a "Fanboy" or anything like that; all fanboyism aside. I'm just saying this as a person. I'm sure you should be able to understand that.

I didn't joke about him at all yesterday, and this is the first joke I've made about him today. I can't believe that unless someone is completely narcissistic they would want everyone being completely somber for the rest of the time following their death.
It sucks that he died. It's not a joke about him dying. It's a joke about bringing him back to life. In case you didn't notice, it's one part of an entire diatribe of what would be unimaginably awesome. So in a way it's a compliment I'm paying to him, that while I'm fantasizing about what would be really cool for Google and Samsung to do, I include bringing him back to life as one example.
See where I'm coming from?

Iced Cream Sandwich will be a big fail like Gingerbread. I see the future. I hope they don't release it to phones that don't support it. i.e. like Gingerbread and the Droid x

GB worked fine on the X for the most part. A few bugs, but they were corrected.
21. gallitoking posted on 07 Oct 2011, 11:57 0 0
no they were not.. maybe for yours.. because you tweak it. but for average consumer the Droid X update didnt work..
22. Sniggly posted on 07 Oct 2011, 14:26 0 0
Actually, I did very little to tweak my X. Maybe I was just lucky. But my X has always worked well. Not perfect but well.

That is the kind of unbridled balls that I love to see in predictions. Frankly, if that doesn't happen when I update my Nexus One, I may have to sell it and buy a bada.

And with the announcement of Ice Cream Sandwich, they hand out radioactive ice cream sandwichs and custom fit spandex android suits. So that everyone will have awesome new super powers as we all fly away with our new Nexus Prime phones (long, billowing capes optional).
