Google Rolls Out Official Android 4.0 ICS Update 92
dell623 writes "Google is rolling out an OTA upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich for the Nexus S. GSM versions can already be updated manually. An early review is largely positive and comments on the significant visual and performance improvements. The Nexus S upgrade allows for a direct comparison against Gingerbread on the same hardware, and the likely improvement in current phones that will receive the upgrade."

Android has Exchange support. Honeycomb added full device encryption, and ICS carries it over. It's right in the changelist [android.com].

The free market has a decidedly pro-Android bias. Android is now on more than half of smartphones - not because it's the only option but because people chose it, voting with their own money.
Maybe that's because it's better.

You know how I definitely know that you're a troll now?
Even forgetting all your comments in other stories - which are always about "Apple good, Google bad" - I don't think I've ever seen you post on any other topic - one easy way to spot a shill is to look for a first post that's longer than three paragraphs.

You're right, no dedicated switch process button. Long-press on home button works as usual to switch between processes.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, face unlock is missing. Couldn't find it anywhere in the settings.

Android uses the same aproach since 3.0. See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html#hardware-model , Hardware accelerated rendering model. CPU just makes display lists and pushes them to the GPU. Processor is not involved in the rendering once the display list are on the GPU (if the GPU supports it).
