It’s all go at Google these days. They’ve just shown off their newest version of the Android mobile operating system; Ice cream Sandwich, as well as their hardware partner Samsung has revealed the Galaxy Nexus as the very first handset to sport it. now it seems there’s one more Android Nexus phone packing Ice cream Sandwich, as well as it’s not the one you expected.

A YouTube individual going by the name of drl337md has published a video showing what appears to be Android 4.0 Ice cream Sandwich running on everyone’s preferred handset, the great ol’ HTC Nexus One.

Now this is a port from the SDK as noted by the individual itself in the video, as well as as such things aren’t completely as they ought to be, however as the video shows, things work surprisingly well, not all of them though.

Now the Nexus One is almost two years old, having gone on sale in January 2010 as well as as such doesn’t pack the exact same punch as the most recent handsets powering Android’s newest incarnations, let along Ice cream Sandwich.

The single-core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU as well as 512MB of RAM hold up relatively well, though. That said, expect significantly much better performance when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ships, total with its fire-breathing dual-core 1.2GHz CPU as well as 1GB of RAM. At the desire of showing my age, I keep in mind when computers didn’t pack 1GB of RAM!

The truth that somebody has handled to port Ice cream Sandwich over to a tradition gadget so rapidly has to be a great indication for the close-knit Android neighborhood as a whole. With so numerous Nexus S owners hoping Google will bring the most recent as well as biggest develop of Android to their own handsets, the truth that a two year old smartphone can at least run it, has to be great news.

Ice cream sandwich is Google’s attempt to unify the two sides of Android – the smartphone as well as the tablet – into one, world beating mobile operating system.

Borrowing heavily from the tablet interface very first shown in Honeycomb, Ice cream Sandwich is the most significant upgrade to Android’s individual interface in rather some time, as well as will ideally begin to herald beginning of a new dawn for the individual interface high quality Google has so long been knocked for.

Of course, whether Ice cream Sandwich is ported to older smartphones or not, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is where it’s at best now, as well as we expect much more than a few Nexus S handsets to discover their method onto eBay quite shortly.
