Jason has been an Android user for a while and him being partial to Android is not a secret. He clearly says it himself. In my opinion, this review was an honest assessment of what had improved with respect to earlier versions of Android; the comparison with iOS at each step is fair because that's the only other game in town. Judging by all the reviews I've read thus far of the Nexus and ICS, I think it's great that Android is slowly catching up in areas where iOS was the clear winner, it'll keep Apple on it's toes. Can only be good for us, the end users. The only fly in the ointment for me personally is the sheer attention to detail that Apple puts into it's hardware, something that I don't think Samsung can ever do (maybe Motorola can?) with it's finger in too many pies (Win Phone, Android, feature phones etc.) EDIT: My nitpick with the review is the somewhat flippant dismissal of Siri.

I moved from a Nexus One to a Galaxy Nexus and I'm with you on the hardware design and build. I like the GN better than other Samsung phones I've handled, but it is definitely nothing at all like the iPhone, and to be honest not even as solid feeling as the HTC-built N1 was. (The N1 was fairly ugly in my opinion, but it felt good in hand.) Is it too much to ask for gadgets that feel as good to hold and use, in terms of the tactile quality, as my 1970's-era Canon SLR? The iPhone's pretty much there but nothing else (outside of ultra-high-end audio gear and cameras) even comes close.

  Can you explain what you mean by "feal good in hand"? My Galaxy S sucks for many reasons (mainly: lag!) but "feel in hand" is not something I've ever considered.
