There is some risk here for Apple. A good part of the reason people like their products is that they don't have to wander through a mish mash of paradigms and it is fairly intuitive. Breaking existing patterns, while overdue, is going to aggravate some users while being seen as not going far enough by others. I will likely be in the latter.

I'd hate to be the one in charge of that type of transition. I think you can say one good thing about all the different UI changes manufacturers make on top of Android, it let Google start clean with 3.0 and 4.0 without changing it on a bunch of current users.
After all, not many use the default theme anyway. :( I think it looks the best, but try telling Samsung and HTC that. At least they all need to include the Holo theme from now on so apps can choose to use it if they want to.

2.2 default was ugly, HTC sense was way ahead of the pack on skinning and integration, but certainly with 4.0 the default is beautiful and nicer than Samsung's certainly. (I've not tried HTC since 2.x)
