Pretty much agree with the stuff you said about GB, ICS, and WebOS. WebOS was the only major OS missing in my 'repertoire' in terms of usage experience, and the Touchpad was my first real experience with it. I had seen it in action on YouTube, but nothing beats the real feel. To be very honest, I was impressed to the point of being amazed at what the OS was capable of, and disappointed that
HP threw it away. I guess this was one OS which was never meant to be. On the other hand, my experience with
Android had always been patchy until the ICS came along, but more on that later. Android caught on probably because of excessive patronage of the geeky community, and probably also due to incumbency against iOS. I am no iOS or
Apple fan, but cannot deny the fact that it has the best touch screen experience out there amongst portable devices - something challenged only by WP7. That apart, I really dislike everything about the OS, their devices, their closed system and pretty much everything. I have no qualms in admitting I am prejudiced against them. Android, though pretty good and flexible and what not, always missed that 'something' which left it short of a top of the line experience. ICS I believe is a massive leap then in that direction, and a well planned one at that. ICS doesn't carry any of the clumsiness of its predecessors - thankfully - and that is it's major achievement. Multi core processors and RAMs in excess of a gig apart, what matters at the end of the day is the experience, and I genuinely feel a superlative effort has gone behind making ICS more experience oriented.
