Glad to see others getting 4.0, always good to know we get it first though. Or at least one of the first in the case of 4.0.4. Now if that OTA would show up to my GSM Galaxy Nexus.
 
The only reason I voted "upset" is exactly what the second poster said...if they're getting a later version then us. We should always have the latest version OTA (not having to root).
 
Happy....very happy.

The more phones that get ICS, the more likely devs will update certain apps to be ICS-compatible (HBOGO I'm looking at you)
 
Good for them. I'm excited to see how OEMs incorporate their skins into ICS. Hopefully, with the polish of ICS, they'll cut back on their up front skinning (skinning email, phone, music, etc is fine, but leave the launcher stock).

OOOOOhhhhhh I cant wait for more phones to get ICS because that only means there is that much more incentive for some of these lazy Devs to update their incompatible or outdated apps.

That's exactly what I was thinking, except maybe the "lazy" part (its just not an efficient use of time to update to an OS very few phones have). But yeah, having more phones on ICS means more incentive for the devs to make sure their apps work with it.

So I went with Pleased, since it pleases me, but not sure if it really makes me Happy (it seems like sad & upset and pleased & happy could have just been 2 choices though).
 
I voted for pleased, happy and I dont care. Maybe cuz I dont have a G Nex anymore.

But I agree with the folks that say the more phones have it....the better for Android as a whole. And I agree the look of ICS should mean less need for manufactures to want to customize it. Motorola seems to have taken that route....HTC didnt get the memo....
 
I just want the population of 4.x devices to be large enough that EA and other large dev's will update their apps to be compatible. Why is it the lone devs have them ready before the os is released and the large dev shops can't figure it out?
 
I voted pleased because as ICS spreads, the perception of Android will change. ICS is a HUGE game changer. Android has always been more feature packed than iOS, but with ICS it's finally just as usable and beautiful too.

Though when I see devices getting ICS with a skin on top of it (Sense, Blur, Touchwiz, etc.), I get sad for the people buying those devices.
 
More mobile phones gets ICS, better support and development si going to be for ICS. If only Nexus had ICS, it would be worst and most undeveloped OS ever because nobody would care for couple of thousands ICS users.

More ICS users, better support and updates.
 
I voted on this poll, but I think I misunderstood the question of it. I assume you meant that other phones getting ICS versions higher than the Nexus (for example, 4.03 or 4.04 while the VZW GNex is still on 4.02), and for that I voted "Sad and "Upset." However, now that I reread it, I think you meant other phones just getting ICS in general - and if that's the case, I'm all for it. The faster phones move to ICS the faster we'll get better looking apps that correspond to Google's guidelines. Bring it on!
