Android 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich - a (likely) Near Final Build.

While reading Engadget yesterday, I stumbled upon a great find: A video of Android 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (supposedly; likely not final) build running on a Nexus S! The man purchased the device from Ebay, not knowing that is was running 2.4, and noticed the UI was...different from normal. He recorded a video of it, because he knew what was up (he is an XDA user), submitted the video to Engadget, and soon Google wiped and restored his device, effectively returning it to "stock" condition, after they discovered the footage.

Once I saw the images of 2.4, I was mesmerized by it's fluidity and beauty. Google had clearly gone to great lengths to make this as much like Honeycomb as possible. I knew I had to re-make it in Photoshop as well. That is what I did. The above image plus a few others can be seen in the .rar file you can download.

Note: I cannot guarantee that this is the final build of 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. The device very likely could have been running an early build of ICS -- it could very well be running the Gold Master as well, but we don't know right now; I don't know right now. Also, this is not a theme/ROM that you can use. It is simply a document that portrays the possible future of Android, as seen in 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Another thing: I chose this category over others because it is the only category that would fit the description of what this "art" is. If you have a better idea as to where it belongs, please tell me!
