The Galaxy Nexus can’t replace my iPhone 4S

Ice Cream Sandwich is a really, really, nice update for Android. Love or hate the looks of it, Google has really pushed forward with the user interface on the platform.
Let’s hit on the 3rd party apps. Android is no where close at all, to having the quality 3rd party apps that iOS has.
This is a great overview of the device and lines up with my opinions after playing with the Galaxy Nexus for only a few minutes.
- ICS is a huge improvement and really is pleasant to use even with some odd UI inconsistencies.
- AMOLED is sub par when compared to the Retina Display or any high end IPS display.
- The phone is too large to use comfortably with one hand.
- 3rd party apps on Android suck.
I still contend this phone is like a Windows 7 ultrabook being compared to a MacBook air.
