Oh right, let me just buy the Nexus K, with the magical keyboard. Oh wait. None of them have a keyboard.

Swipe up to the Google Now page and then say Google. If you just tried saying “Google” from your home screen, it doesn’t work that way. That’s what I did at first. “Google……..GOOGLE….GOO-GLE! Oh wait…” lol

Or if you just buy a Nexus as Google intended.

Icon in upper-left corner to get to convos. If you click a notification for a message, back takes you to whatever you were doing before you clicked the notification, whereas when you press it after clicking a convo by opening the messaging app through a regular shortcut, that’s when you get pushed back to the list when you hit the back button.

Long-pressing a notification brings up a shortcut to go to the usual app manager page for that app. You know, the one that has “force stop”, “uninstall”, and “clear data”? The one that you’d normally have to navigate through menus to get to.

Absolutely. I don’t mind the status bar disappearing, but fading the nav keys would be a better options than turning them into dots. I know what the keys are, but not everyone remembers.

If Google/Sammy was able to get a stable build to VZW about 3-4 weeks before I/O, there’s a small chance they could hit the Mid-July rollout with the rest of the Nexus devices. VZW has a lot of ‘splainin to do after the 4.0.4 debacle, hopefully they’ll get their act together.

I’d look more towards mid-September for JB on the Razr/Maxx, coinciding with the release of the Razr HD (the spec bumps and on-screen nav keys should be enough to set it apart and drive sales, so the software bump on the older devices won’t hurt sales). The rest of Moto’s ICS-upgraded devices at roughly the same pace after that we see ICS roll out move forward. Motorola used to pride itself on its update portfolio/schedule, and we’ll see if they can get back on track.

Honestly, ICS is kind of a necessary step. It provides a stable code base that they’ve been working with for a while now, and makes the transition that much smoother. That being said, I’m fairly certain that anything that got ICS will have no problem running JB, so I’d expect the lion’s share of those devices to be upgraded. Hoping the new “light” skins adopted by OEMs will speed the process along.
