It was only a matter of time before someone jumped oneBaytobuya phone onlytofindthat itcame pre-loaded with the latest and for-the-most part unseen version of Android aka Ice Cream Sandwich. The Nexus S pictured above and on video at the linkbelowwas justreleased,giving us a fabulous lookat Android 4.0 and all of its cyan-greenish tints,Honeycomb lockscreen,recently usedappscroller,and more.

Some things we noticed right off the bat:

Lock screen lets you jump into the phone or straight to the camera – Apple kang, hah. What is that Google Apps icon? A shortcut to all things Google. Dock has 4 standard apps – will assume theyare interchangeable. Notification bar has a quick settings button – hoping for easy wifi/bluetooth toggles. App drawer is horizontal just like Honeycomb. Widget previews in there as well. Long press on Home gives you recently used app menu from HC. Looks great on a phone. Settings menu has been broken up into sections. Pressing Menu at home only had 3 options,one beingwallpaper.

I see some interesting concepts in the video, would have preferred to see what version of ICS this supposedly is

Looks like on Oct. 11 Google and Samsung are going to announce the Nexus "Prime", the first ICS phone, and my next upgrade.

This may just be a slick ROM from what I've heard
