Android 4.0: A coming of age and homage to Windows Phone 7

I have an iPad 2 and a Nexus S and my GF has an iPhone 4. I build iOS apps. I know my way around the cocoa API and the devices and for day to day use I much prefer my Nexus. The deep google integration is fantastic and vanilla android on the nexus is a polished experience (sans hardware accelerated animations), much more so than all the crappy OEM interfaces.

I'll give you fast/smooth, but from now on, I can't see my next phone being anything other than a Nexus.

Google Maps with Voice Navigation was the killer app that made me ditch iPhone 3G for Nexus One. Now with Nexus S, I haven't looked back.

If your digital life is in Google apps, a Nexus phone is a very sensible choice.

I'm not willing to put up with carrier crapware on non-Nexus phones though. That would be too big of a compromise for me.
