Re: ?You won?t believe what we managed to get done in this releas
While Android has a reputation for being "plain" or "boring", we definitely don't want it to become like WebOS. WebOS is poorly coded - look how badly the HP TouchPad runs with a pretty incredible processor inside. The cards system is interesting, but I use so many apps, I don't want the cards implementation. I actually REALLY like the Honeycomb (and soon to be ICS) implementation of app switching. Just hit the little double-box looking icon next to the home key (one of the three software buttons) and it'll bring up a scrolling menu of recently used apps. It's intuitive, convenient, and out of the way when you want it to be, yet still easily accessible from ANY application/screen. It's perfect, really.
ICS will be better than some people probably give it credit for. But I've always found a lot of very, if you will, "nerdy" or technical things that are a part of Android releases to be really important or nice to have, yet they seem to be underwhelming to the majority of users (many of whom have no idea what's new about their new version of Android anyway). I dislike generalizing, but in this case it's true.
I think there'll be a few surprises in store for ICS, and we'll know soon if that's true.
