Have you ever actually seen the about box of an unreleased version of Android? They don’t apply the version numbers till release time.

I even said this over on that same Engadget article.

Linux kernel 3 is in most distros coming out this or next month. So with a company like Google leading the development it could happen.

This dude doesn’t even seem to know how to work an android phone. Alright WHO gave him permission to hold and operate this device?!

Yet but even if that’s true, some dude didn’t buy it off ebay, that is just idiotic to believe in.

No, if Google had done it professionally, it would “appear”to be a “real”person that somehow stumbled upon the newest OS. Unless of course you actually fall for these lame stunts.

If it wasn’t a fake publicity leak from Google, I’m sure they would. The fact that this person didn’t do a system dump is evidence enough of that fact.

It seems that this is the real thing, else someone spent a lot of time coding for no real benefit, unless they wanted to fool the masses til Oct. 11th, seems like a waste of talent.

Also people who say they are unimpressed, a 2 minute video, how much do you really expect to see.This version is to unite tablet and phone, point me to the article by GOOGLE that say this is a major redesign of the UI.

This is definitely a user debug build, yet from the 2 minutes, it runs smoothly, menus that no version of android has currently, new features in camera and lock-screen already displayed, all this on a phone running a 1GHz processor.All I know is that I can’t wait to see it on my SGS2

Custom ROM with ICS Launcher… That’s what it looks like to me.

Seems like a lot of work to fake something that is coming out in a few weeks. Probably a development version of ICS.

Assuming this is really a pre-release version of ICS, I really don’t get why people would think this is “not that different” just from a 2 minute video showing you basic things. By the same logic Froyo to Gingerbread was a just a theme and new app drawer.

The coolest thing that I think Google did from Froyo to GB is add a much nicer and very effective voice search. Something like that might not be shown in a video such as this.

You haven’t seen what Google has changed. You don’t know if its coded different. Actually the only thing I don’t want to see just happens to be the only thing that I want Google to change, and that is lag/ smooth interface.

I find it hilarious how so many people now think they are experts about ICS and have the knowledge to make an informed decision about an unreleased product.

Anything other than a 4.0 worthy software would be a letdown. You can’t merge a tablet and phone OS but keep the numbering scheme on a phone OS. Unless they don’t plan to have ICS on both phones and tablets.

Then how do you explain the lockscreen, or the google Widgets that only work on homeycomb?
