Other things that I noticed when I updated my Nexus S: * Scrolling and transition animations are a bit smoother. Not quite iPhone smooth but almost. * The tile based rendering for the browser is quite noticeable. While a page is rendering you'll see some tiles rendered at various resolutions or not at all and you can be waiting a while sometimes before the tile you want to read is rendered. * The browser has a save for offline reading option. * The browser allows many more 'open' tabs than it did previously * The locked screen now lets you swipe right to unlock, or left to turn on the camera. This is great for fast access to the camera app. * The locked screen also shows controls for pausing and skipping songs when the music app is running. * Contacts that don't have an international prefix are no longer recognised. I was a bit confused when I started getting messages from unknown numbers before realising I had to update my contacts. * I can no longer lock the screen when playing Angry Birds. When I unlock, the app has died (presumably run out of memory). I guess this is because ICS takes more memory. * The task manager now has thumbnails and is a lot slower to load. So overall I would agree there are some improvements, some changes and some new bugs. But I would recommend upgrading if only for the improved speed - I find it strange that Tom didn't mention that.
