IIRC, TI was selected as the launch partner for android 4.0, and unfortunately, the OMAP 4470 (with an SGX544) wasn't ready yet, forcing them to use the OMAP 4460.

Technically on this one they needed to tap the screen to share. But I suppose that's good. You don't want accidental sharing of your information if you've left the NFC module on.

I'm willing to bet Apple never includes NFC. It's a buzzword technology that has failed to catch on significantly. Reminds me of people clamoring for e-SATA in Macs. Yeah, not going to happen.

Apple will have to use NFC if they want to enable mobile payments because that's what the payments industry is using.
But NFC will largely be as useless for iOS as Bluetooth 4.0 is. What's the point of BT 4.0 if file sharing is disabled? NFC could well be similarly limited under Apple's vision.

Let's wait to see how it works in real life before trashing it in a demo.
A demo could be great and turn out to severely limited in real life. Just look at how limited Siri is turning out to be internationally.

Just because you are pro-Apple on an Apple site doesn't mean you can't be (and aren't being) a mindless troll. And using your absolutely terrible logic, I could argue that this is an Android news release. So you're being a trolling iPhan (or whatever the kids call them these days). Regardless, you're trolling; and poorly at that.
Honestly, I didn't particularly care for the facial recognition feature. I dont' lock my phone. That being said, I think it's meant to be a bonus feature, not something huge.
And yes, wifi failing was a huge deal. Believe it or not, if your device is unable to beat other devices in picking up a signal as you toute a newly innovative antenna, you failed. Massively.
I swear, every time there's an article about Android you're the first to come in screaming "ANDROID IZ TEH LO0SER BECAUSE I LEIK APPLES." Android is successful. iOS is also successful. Get over it.

It looks like a solid full on evolution to the Android OS...now if only the 3rd party devs can actually follow the design cues this time around.
It looks like Android has finally grown up and (aside from the homescreen which I'm not too much a fan of) has beautified and unified itself.

From a personal perspective, I use a lot of music apps and Android is pure crap for music apps! Android will never appeal to a demanding and artistic pro user such as myself.
I possess the amazing ability to see through meaningless specs, flashy sci-fi commercials and realize that at the very core of Android, there is that Java based OS and that just doesn't cut it for people who demand true excellence and smooth performance. And from an aesthetic point of view, I just don't like the look of the OS.
I will continue to make fun of Apple's competitors all I want, get used to it.

Regardless of your stance, you are trolling by definition.
Look, you clearly have a bone to pick with android; whatever. I don't care. If you want to troll some android sites go right ahead. But don't de-rail a perfectly civil and legitimate discussion (and this thread has been very civil thus far) on an Apple centric site; because that's what Fandroids do.

YES! I really am jealous about android widgets. It seems natural to have actual information on the homescreen without needing to launch an app. I would like it if Apple took this concept and applied their (generally) superior aesthetic design expertise to it.
Apple has started adding widgets to iOS: see the weather and stock ticker on the notification shade in iOS 5. It'll be a while before it catches up to Android's selection, but the framework is there now.

Do you really need for Google to take a picture of your face every time you unlock the phone? It's kind of a cheesy thing to do. What stops someone of holding a picture of the user in front of the camera and unlock it?
It looks "cool" but from a stand point of being intuitive I think it's still not there. I feel like Google just throws in the "cool" stuff and less of useful stuff. Keeps changing it's user interface, fonts, etc etc.

I really do like the way that google is moving with this. The beam feature does seem like a very worthwhile thing to have in my phone. The folders feature was boring if you ask me. Current android phones already have it (android had it before iOS believe it or not). However its not needed that much on android because as many of you know android stores all of the app links in a Centralized applications drawer and not on the home screen. The changes to the Camera App I feel where well needed. And it is good to see that google is finally realizing they can no longer rely on the OEMs to produce hardware for the phones to sell. Google has to now step up to deliver the Software and make it too more competitive. this next year looks like it will be a fun one.
For those still not in the mix about the new Android OS I posted a quick preview of it on my blog check it out and PLEASE LEAVE SOME CRITICISM to help me get better at writing articles.

Apparently, all the specs in the world still can't manage stutter/lag-free operation. Definitely an OS issue:

The camera also seems extremely mediocre from the sample shots. Definitely nothing approaching 4S quality.

As to overall performance, we saw a good deal of stutter in the Galaxy Nexus before us. Taps were not always recognized and there were occasional delays in performing an instruction, though in Google’s defense, it was a phone fully loaded with running tasks and the software is being continually improved and optimized (i.e. it’s not yet fully baked). That having been said, it unfortunately remains the case that Android isn’t as swift and responsive as iOS or Windows Phone (or even MeeGo Harmattan on the N9). Or at least it wasn’t on the demo phone we got a look at. The subtle, pervasive lag that has characterized the Android UI since it inception is still there, which is not a heartening thing to hear when you’re talking about a super-powered dual-core device like the Galaxy Nexus.

This new Samsung phone is to try and stop would be iPhone buyers. They want to try and lure the younger crowd into buying a phone that doesn't require a PC of any kind in any way. I myself like the option of syncing with a computer mainly my Mac Pro. Managing my content is really nice. But I have not heard anything about managing android phone content. And most likely Windows 8 is gonna be setup to handle that android eventually with its start screen. How boring. I have the developers version of Winders 8 and I think its a loser.

Um, yeeeah... I wasn't accusing you of saying anything. I thought it would be funny to turn fandroid arguments like "Apple didn't invent the rectangle" on its side and show how utterly ridiculous those are strawman arguments sound to me by hyperbolizing it.
Frankly, I don't care what your point was; I was more interested in making my point. Because I'm like that.

4.65" screen seems too large though - more of a miniature tablet than a cell phone. Definitely too big for comfortable one handed operation and more than I care to have in my pocket.

NFC Bank transactions are a handy thing. In my case that is three less cards in my wallet when both banks change over. At the moment only one is testing NFC payments.
Electronic ticketing will be another. With thousands of people walking through a turnstile or airport Bluetooth and wifi are less useful. Hotels have already started testing using phone NFCs to send a door key code when you book. It is active for only the time of your stay. I have a NFC card I carry around to get in and sections I have access to in my workplace. Technicians say they will look into allowing phones to do this in the future. Paying for your bus/train trips is done through various forms of NFC in many places these days. I could go on and on.
As for the screen, it replaces the buttons. By removing buttons you free up space on the phone, so it is not as big as it sounds. Down side of this is that if you don’t realise this, you may not get as much viewing room as the screen size suggests. Work around could be a drop down buttons. Overall, 2 cm longer than the 4S.

you and everyone else should watch this demo of the facial recognition on the phone. it takes a half second
who cares if it didn't work on stage? There was an insane amount of stage lighting. Wouldn't you rather have software like this be strict rather than unlocking itself for everyone that looks at it? Worst case scenario it doesn't recognize you, you a pattern unlock. This is an amazing feature
