    It's an optional feature. I doubt I'll ever use it.

      I laughed at the black and asian face recognition comment.

      Anyways, it is kinda fun - apparently if it can't recognize your face, you can have a back up unlock.

      Galaxy Nexus looks amazing (my Thunderbolt is looking sad now... but perhaps there can be a nice Ice Cream Sandwich ROM which will convince me to root). Droid Razr is also looking nice, and supposedly will get ICS in early 2012.

        Will the icons be stretched, or will SGN's resolution be true HD with more than 16 icons on the screen?

            Yep, 480 px wide.
            I guess it's true that iDevices render crispier text because they have matching abstract and screen.

              That makes no sense.

              I took the screenshot from the Android SDK website. It's been scaled.

              Text clarity has nothing to do with abstract and screen. It's not an iDevice having crisper text, until recently not many other phones had the ~325dpi that the iPhone 4/4S/iPod touches had.

                I was comparing it to an iPad, which has low res for its size and still manages to look woahcrisp.

                  Galaxy Nexus makes me drool... ah well, I only have to wait until December 2012 for a new phone under promotional pricing .

                    Still loving my Bionic.

                    Need to get Cyanogen for it though. The stock Android distro is starting it annoy me a bit.
                    I have more issues than Marvel Comics and more problems than a math text book.

                      • From the new biography on Steve Jobs:

                        Though we all knew it, now we have it in writing: Steve Jobs really hated Android, according to his biography, which will hit store shelves on October 24. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson is said to deta

                        Maybe Android winning the smartphone wars is what killed Jobs!
