Could it be that ICS is optimized to make the most of the graphic processor? I understand the concern, but during the presentation I heard mention that 1280x720 was going to be the native resolution 4.0 supports.
Yes but the videos and hands on impressions that were positive don't make for good trolling material and those were ignored, they focused on the 1 negative article with a faulty unit.People are still talking about the SGX540? Even though the presentation and videos were perfectly smooth and fluid? Guys, your UI is going to be fine. As several people have said before, the concern is going to be with games.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/samsung-galaxy-nexus-hands-on/I don't want to beat a dead horse, but seriously, if you read and watch TechCrunch's hands-on piece, the stuttering and lag, or "hesitation" is there. They wrote about bugs subtly and mentioned that they would reserve judgment until they got a final preview unit.
Personally, I don't see how discussing about it is trolling. It's a problem for some Android users, and I would personally like to see it get fixed, for good. What's wrong with that?
The 1.2GHz dual-core processor was startlingly fast. It actually felt a wee bit quicker than our Galaxy S II, and given that Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus were apparently built for one another, we're assuming there's some deeply ingrained optimizations to thank. Swiping from pane to pane was faster than its ever been on Android, and the new Roboto font actually is super eye-pleasing. The touch response of the capacitive buttons -- much like those on the original Nexus One -- take a bit of getting used to, and we had to mash 'em just a touch harder than we anticipated to elicit a response. [Update: turns out our demo phone was a bit of an early build; we touched another model later in the day, and our response gripes were gone. Perfectly responsive.
so the question is if it's accelerated UI or not... fully accelerated. As much as you'd like to say gingerbread is accelerated, it's barely accelerated. If the UI is fully accelerated this time, then it should be able to handle widgets at ease. But we still cannot be completely sure with ICS until Anand gets his hands on it I supposePeople are still talking about the SGX540?

Galaxy Nexus seems to be Pentile:

Having the Galaxy I myself (Fascinate), I can definitely see the Pentile display in action, and it wasn't good. Hopefully the higher res masks this, but I'll have to play with it to see. WTB hands on review!!!
So I thought I wanted an android phone, but it stutters and has bugs etc? But I don't really want an iPhone either. Have an ipod touch and kinda tired of it.. So maybe I should just stick to my dumb phone? I'm tired of hearing about all these problems; why can't they just make me a perfect product!

There is no such thing as a perfect product. I personally am happy /w a SGSII because it doesn't have lag for anything I do. The only way to find the product that is right for you is to try them..
Ok, maybe I was overstating my frustration a bit. But it is annoying be be excited for the nexus s, galaxy s, S2, now GN, and then hear something that kills my desire to buy it. I don't even remember all the reasons, but I've been looking at these phones since the Nexus one and always found a reason to wait. Usually cost play a large role to though, not quite convinced I need a smartphone. It's mainly a toy..
Testing it out in the store always seems kinda worthless to me. I load a few pages and mess around, but don't really know what to do with it and I'm pretty sure it's not telling me how I'd feel using it daily.

Given how clear text looked on that display, and how close up it looked less pixelated than a GS2, nope I'm not worried.
Only the unobservant part of the press didn't know this -- it's the state of the OLED process. And in fact, 720p LCD (non-Pentile, from all we know) will be coming out *the exact same day* on the Rezound. (But did HTC sign a contract with Verizon saying they have to rehash the same design every single time?!)The Google Nexus 720p screen is pentile. Thats too bad, looks like we'll have to wait till maybe early next year for true 720p.
