Things Google *didn't* talk about?

I was told in another thread that that is a SIM card slot.

LOL. oops.

Still it has an internal 32GB right? I'm happy with that. Faster read/write speeds.

Yeah, that's what I like about it. 32GB is enough for me for a phone. I can fit all my music, pics and docs on it and, it will be faster then a sd-card.

haha, I'm getting tired and need to go to bed soon but, i can't stop watching all the vids of the phone.

I didn't like how the presentation lacked any carrier information.

Also, there appears to be some mystery surrounding the LTE version that feels bothersome. I recall a lot of the measurements, specs, etc. all carried a disclaimer saying that they don't apply to the LTE version of the phone.

...what are the specs for the LTE version then, why just leave that out?

Yeah this really concerned me as well. Im a little worried out LTE version may be thicker.... But than I think about how thin the Razr is with LTE and I become hopeful... UGH! someone Needs to find out the LTE specs like now!!! ha

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about Samsung making an LTE device that is too thick. Like Apple, Samsung has been good about keeping their devices small and neat. That has been one of their biggest selling points over the past 18 months or so.

- does ICS have hw acceleration?

They did talk about this (quite a bit). And yes it does.

- does it have any battery life improvements?

They spoke only via implications about this, so no idea.

- how much of the camera lag reduction is due to software vs the sensor

We'll find out when it hits the Nexus S.

Face unlock
- how much battery does it use
- how long does it take? A pattern unlock is very fast to enter and instant
- can it be spoofed by a picture? or a video?

- next to none. The front facing camera doesn't use much battery and...
- in the demonstration video, it noted the face and unlocked in about 1.5 seconds.
- it can likely be spoofed by a picture but not sure

- is ICS going to unify memory? no more worrying about partition sizes?

Not sure, we'll have to wait and see.

- what happens on phones with hw buttons?

It adjusts based on the device. So for the Nexus S, it'll still use the capacitive buttons and hide the on-screen buttons by default.

What are the min hw requirements to run ICS?
- Is ICS faster?

It is faster because of GPU acceleration. Google said any device currently running 2.3 should be able to handle ICS.
