Now all the talk of the web Android newcomer among the sweets of the operating system by Google, Ice Cream Sandwich. News of the newcomer are many, but now we will speak of his first landing on the Nexus. Do not be alarmed, ICS is not yet available for the first Google-phone, but was made by a developer a first port on your smartphone in question, and soon you can watch the video. This is not the only news regarding Ice Cream Sandwich.

As mentioned above, was made the first port of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on the Nexus One, the first smartphone Google Experience. Thanks to the SDK of Android 4.0, which BigG has released a few days ago, it was possible to do this first test of the new operating system on the Nexus. Everyone was wondering if you could stand the new smartphone OS, here’s the answer:

The system seems to be fluid and seems to respond well. Of course being a first port resulting from the SDK, not everything works, for example, you can not turn on Wi-Fi does not work the video encoding, audio hiccups in short can not yet be used permanently. Of course, other tests will be performed, but know that what passed as a hardware the Nexus seems to support the new green robot is hoped many of us.

The good news about Ice Cream Sandwich does not end there. If only he who now owns a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is able to get Android-powered gaming experience worthy of any other portable console, now might not be so.

Why, Romain Guy, a software engineer at Google, announced that the new Android 4.0 ICS will support USB gamepads. Knowing Ice Cream Sandwich has ensured that this new support works perfectly on Galaxy Nexus, the first copy being momentarily with ICS.

Obviously they can enjoy the classic we will need the USB gamepad adapter for miniUSB ports. Surely all future owners of Galaxy Nexus will not fail to try this new gaming experience.
