You know that our (SGSII) screen resolution is 800x480 which gives us 15:9 aspect ratio. New Galaxy Nexus has 1280x720 which has a more movie friendly aspect ratio of 16:9. In ICS' screen it seems that the last 80 (not sure) pixels of the screen (portrait) are used for the menu keys or soft keys (you name it) as our hard/touch keys. I mentioned in the short videos of the new nexus that when in landscape mode, the screen keys follow the bottom of the screen and just rotate their icons. This leaves it with 1200x720 screen res for Android (no matter orientation) which has an aspect ratio of 15:9. This is what we have now! My opinion is that galaxy nexus shows that if manufacturers want no hard keys for ICS devices (mainly smartphones) they should be making 16:9 screens. On smartphones with low res screens, or older devices with harware keys, 15:9 is just fine. It gives the same look and feel and needs no modification. And this is what we are going to get!
On the other hand, tablets like SGT 10.1 with 1280x800 (16:10) or old SGT with 1024x600, do not match with this pattern and need different approach.
What do you think?
I believe that they said that the touch buttons disappear when playing a game or video.

Good point! Also I would think that the default DPI will be changed to 220 or maybe even 200 once ICS hits phones with 800X480 resolution!
Hopefully this means that the Android Market would now work at all densities

Exactly. This is why the new 16:9 screens are more movie(-game) friendly.

then how would you navigate back/home, since there's no physical button?
or you mean just fade out like honeycomb?

So they will always be there if you play a game? And BTW I think ICS will only be Movie friendly! Not Game! I mean that the soft keys will be visible during Games.
tap the bezel around the edges of the screen to bring back soft keys on the galaxy nexus.. sorry.. looking to get a GSII in next few months so checking out the forums and had to correct some people with wrong information..

So the Galaxy Nexus have touch sensitive bezel?
In this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTp363GACjs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
We can see that in the camera app, softkey are not displayed BUT the place where softkey take place normaly is just black and we need to touch this black space to display softkey.
So i'm really not sure that there is fullscreen mode in ICS except for Lockscreen.
seriously people get real please.
ICS is not one device os (like other ishits) this os is made to unify the android experience among mobile tablet devices of different spectrum.

according to the spec sheets, yep
Most people on this forum will root their phone, and the developers will find a way to hide the software keys as they have on my tab 10.1.
That meens you will be able to hide the software keys with just longpressing the powerbutton and show/hide keys as I can now do on my tablet. Then you can watch a movie or play games without having to think about it, and when you need the buttons, you just show them again. Very simple solution
Umm.. Just because it has 720p, doesn't mean it has a 16:9 display

I was thinking with ICS, how will we use our phones one handed? I mean, I tried using honey comb on a tablet and the "options" key was on the top right corner, and it seems like its the same for ICS. And I don't see the option button in the row of softkeys.
In other words to access the option menu, you need to reach all the way up to the top of the screen. Not user friendly or ergonomic if you ask me.

I was hoping a developer would make it like a tab, and swype the keys off the screen and then pull the keys back out.

Phones with Hardware keys will NOT have the Software buttons. That much is confirmed.

Hello,
How are you?
I decided I'd share my story and give my insights about the Nexus 10. First a little background...
I have been an OSX user for some years. From Macbook, to Macbook Pro, to iMac, I have long ditched windows for my personal computing needs.
In the gadget front, I have always been an android user. Despite having thought about getting an iPad on some occasions, or even an iPhone, I never actually pulled the trigger.
Since my first smartphone, I have always used android phones, from 2.1, to froyo, to Ginger Bread, ICS and now Jelly bean.
After having several phones I settled for the galaxy nexus. I really like Google Web Services and the way they all just work with android and sync flawlessly.
I also love the Nexus pure android and timely updates.
Because I was so happy with my phone, when the nexus 7 came out, I bought a 16gb wifi unit. It was not my first android tablet. About a year ago I bought an HTC Flyer that a few months later I gave to my wife. At the time I had a Galaxy note and didn't use the tablet that much... But anyway...
I liked the Nexus 7. It is fast, good size, good portability. The device is not ideal for web browsing, but because of it's screen size, it is great to use phone apps to do things, like ebay app, paypal app, tapatalk, and such...
Then, after the confusion of the 13 November nexus 4 and nexus 10 launches, I ended up not getting any. Last week, I was finally able to order a Nexus 10 from the playstore and it was delivered this monday morning...
Unboxed it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Beautiful device. Great specs. It was light, well built and with a good feel.
Loved the screen... Beautiful piece of kit.
The front facing speakers were great...
It ran fast as hell... Synced everything with my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus beautifully!
It was a dream of a device... Until I actually started using it...
There were not too many apps for the bigger and higher res screen...
But that is ok. It is not like I use apps for facebook, ebay or forums on my laptop or desktop... I just use the web browser...
So, went and used it on the nexus 10... And that was the disappointment...
The 16:10 screen which becomes 16:9 when in use thanks to the soft buttons is horrible.
Text is crisp as hell, and I see no pixels, but I also see no content...
The tablet is just to short in height to use in landscape mode. I have to scroll and scroll and scroll to use any site... The way the sites scale on chrome, even fully zoomed out, just don't allow enough content on screen...
So, portrait, no problem...
Well, terrible...
It felt like holding a wooden board... The tablet is just too long and becomes too top heavy to use comfortably in portrait... Also, because the screen is narrow, the web sites don't look natural...
After trying to like the Nexus 10, I just couldn't...
Ended up selling it yesterday. Thanks to the high demand and low supply, I still made a tiny profit with it.
And today I ordered an Ipad 4.
I just realised that at the end of the day, it is not specs, or GPU or CPU or Ram or PPI that make a device...
When a company thinks about usability and ergonomics of a device, that just shows in the way it becomes natural and comfortable to use said device.
I just didn't find the Nexus 10 comfortable or natural for what I wanted to use it for, and that was web browsing mainly.
Maybe that will change in the future when android gets really multi tasking with resizable windows. Thanks maybe the 16:10 will be a plus.
But in the current state of tablet operating systems, for me the 4:3 is more natural and better.
So, this is my experience. I must thought I'd share.
At the end of the day this is just my impressions and my opinions and my feelings towards tablets. I am not an apple fanboy or android fanboy. I am a big nerd and a fan of technology.
It is how you feel about what you use and how what you use gets what you need done that matters. In the end of the day, tablets, phones, laptops, are either tools or toys or a bit of both, but they are not what's most important.
Best regards.

If you're looking for an Android device with a 4:3 aspect ratio, consider buying a Nook HD+. It's probably the lightest small tablet around, and hopefully they'll port CM to it soon.
Well having a tablet, you need buttons. Most go with onscreen buttons, otherwise those cheap brands with buttons that break in a couple clicks.

Too each their own I suppose. To me the aspect ratio seems like a silly reason to sell it. I too dislike the wasted real-estate of the nav buttons, but with Android you have the choice to get rid of them.

I am not an apple fanboy, nor an android fanboy.
I own an imac, a lenovo windows laptop, a nexus 7 and a galaxy nexus. If I could afford it I would also have a Lumia 920, a surface tablet, a Macbook retina, and so on.
Because I like technology and I like to try out technology to find the one that suits me best.
I don't need to buy and sell nexus 10s to make a living... If I needed, I would not have bought one, but 20...

The iPad is terrible for viewing media with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
It is also terrible for listening to music with a mono back-facing speaker compared to the front facing stereo on the Nexus 10.
Web sites with a lot of wide detail can be viewed on the Nexus 10 in landscape without zooming.
Web sites with little wide detail can be viewed in portait allowing more to be seen without scrolling.
So the Nexus 10 can be used in which ever way is best for Web sites.
Apple have already realised how much better the 16:9 format is and changed the iPhone 5 and it won't be long before the iPad follows too.

On stock, this is a slight problem. On a custom ROM though, can just expand desktop and hide both bars for the full display.

He is a yellow journalist who got paid to do negative campaign. He dont like change and what he meant is that he is comfortable with the vga screen rather than using the hd because he likes it that way. Well enough its just you who like the outdated 4:3. As far as full screen scaled apps are not there. You have to wait a little for that the full hd screens just came out. Devs need time to scale theur apps. U didnt like the form factor well then stick with ur nexus 7. 10 inch is for those who are replacing their PC with a tablet.
In the end not every device is for everyone. Ppl with money just buy everything thinkingit will be productive. Next time consider ur use and then buy a device.

FYI - HD is anything over 720p (or 1080p depending on what you think), the ipad 4 isn't VGA. oh. and VGA is not a quality of screen, it's an output method, that can output more than 1080p funnily enough. (ok, lets assume that you mean 640x480 anyways, but the ipad still isn't that)
i find that saying 4:3 is outdated is a little silly, as it does allow you to use it in multiple orientations more easily than a 16:10 (but yeah, 16:10 is nice too for other reasons)
you can't replace a PC with a tablet. (well, not completely)
I don't get people complaining of landscape mode for web browsing. I have yet to own a tablet and can't wait to use the screen size in landscape mode for web browsing, it is going to be a dream.
But this is coming from a guy who never owned a tablet and browses the web on a 4" Ipod 5 in landscape mode.
I am looking forward to the aspect ratio of this tablet. How big do you need?
I just got my nexus 10. Which Google delayed shipping to me because they ran out of stock on the 8 GB phone (mind you I ordered on day 1 too) oh and they put a bumper in lieu of my actual phone and Google csr tier II is terrible. So not only did I have to wait 2 weeks to get my tablet which they still had plenty of stock they ************ forgot the phone which caused the delay in the first place. †************* great.
So now onto my experience with the tablet. It doesn't feel as smooth as the nexus 4. Video playback is amazing though. The text is not as smooth or crops as compared to the iPad 3 in my house. The book readers are terrible ... I am sorry but iBooks is actually much easier to use and in a twist of irony you can also use manually place your own ebooks into I books but you can't with Google's default reader. I also hate this keyboard which I plan to change.

lol yes VGA stands for Video Graphics Adapter... i think a fair statement would be for working 4:3 is preferred and when playing 16:10 ... keep in mind tho it wasnt so long ago ALL tvs were 4:3 and now its the opposite most tvs are 16:9 etc.. this is off topic but when i play css on my 52" tv i have to play it in 4:3 ( 640x480 ) because the orientation gets out of whack so to speak if i go to 1600x1200 yeah its time for an HDMI video card. but anyways... the reason i replied was the last statement it made me think about it since i have a tablet and a wireless keyboard and mouse to go with it... to use them i cannot be charging at the same time so i guess you are right portability wise... nice thought tho. if i could get a good news reader on it ( dont see any reason why not just havent looked into it yet) and use my powered hub so the hdd, keyboard, and mouse dont kill the battery on the N7 i cannot see why not ? as far as flash games i am kind of tired of those anyways.. and to replace CSS all i need is a good FPS. i already found a great one ( free) that showcases what the GPU is capable of. just need to get it working with the wiimote and im good.

Are you joking about the keyboard? iOS keyboard is a POS with letters that always show in upper case even when caps lock is off. They place language setting where it's easily changed by accident instead of properly separating it in settings menu. It doesn't have native swype and voice dictation is weaker.

Well no ****, it goes without saying that voice dictation is weaker on the iOS.
The rest really is just a matter of preference.
I find the nexus 10 keyboard to be unnecessarily cluttered.
I think the iOS keyboard works a lot better on mobile devices.
I also prefer the nexus 4 keyboard over the tablet because it's simpler and intuitive.
I don't use swype typing with two fingers is much faster for me. I've also heard that this native swype is a pos compared to the real swype.
You don't like it, you can probably change it that's the android way.
Well the book readers at still pretty helpless.
I don't get why there's so much... disapproval over the OP's decision. Buying and using a device should probably be personally enjoyable, or else you would of wasted your money right? He listed his reasons why he didn't like the Nexus 10, and purchased an iPad 4, so what? Did he spend your money? Does his decision affect you in any way? Did a car barrel roll for miles across the world killing thousands because of this decision?
Also, I think there is no "master" device or OS. Different people have different tastes and do different things, there is no 1-device/OS-fits-all, and that is a fact

Firstly, your humour was pretty poor, if that.
Secondly, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA "Today, the VGA analog interface is used for high definition video including 1080p and higher."

Thirdly, while tablets are pretty damn useful at what they do, they aren't nearly powerful enough to take over PCs (hell, they can't even do multi-windowed stuff) so if all you do is browse the web and email your buddies, then sure you can have a tablet replace a PC.
but... "Tablets have almost replaced the PCs atleast for a majority" is an incredibly short sighted and relatively stupid statement.

I purchased Splashtop HD and it works quite well. However the image of my laptop on the tablet does not fill the tablet screen. I tried the different settings on the Splashtop connection entry but didn't fix it. My laptop resolution is 1920x1200. Is this because of the N10 resolution? User error?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Some apps that are set for a different resolution than your tablet have a 4 point arrow on the bottom corner of the screen that you can click to make the app full screen, did you check to see if it has that? Not all apps do, but maybe that one does.
The app does not scale properly in our N10...
But the free version Splashtop 2 scales better. It does not cover the whole screen, it's about the 80%... It's strange but that's how it is in this moment.
This may be due to different ratios? I run Splashtop 2 (the free one) and I get fullscreen of my Windows 8 desktop, I managed to play "Armed" from my Nexus 10 (Windows Store game) for about an hour, no issues. I found access "Start" and the top-left options a little difficult though.
Also, I turned off auto-network optimisation FYI, while it was on, it was crapping up the quality every so often, with it off it's perfect, all the time. Gigabit backbone and N300 WiFi

Splashtop 2 seems to work better as you can actually zoom in and it scales the picture but with HD, it doesn't scale at all. So for me who has a monitor with max 1280x1024 resolution, the picture is kinda small on the N10 screen.
Yeah, contact the Dev and see if you can switch your purchase to 2. The old HD and non HD ones have been deprecated. Have wondered myself why they haven't removed them from the store yet.

I do NOT like onscreen keyboards or keys. Still miss my Droid 2 qwerty. Love TouchWiz but miss those lovely hard keys. There are still a lot of qwerty fans out here. Even if it was just an add-on case I'd buy it, if it was a very good quality product I'd pay up to 70 or 80 for it. But not for some some cheapo wallet case with an iphone bluetooth keyboard in it. Slim, sliding if possible, and nice big keys for the Note with good layout design. Anyone else dig it?

I'm looking for a thumb keyboard case to work with my Note 3. Something small that I will be able to touch type with without looking at the keyboard. Does anyone know any that they trust aren't a crappy product?
I did find this one, but I want to be sure before I buy it.

That seems difficult to use, Are you looking to use it for making word documents and blog posts and such?
Also
Does swiftkey support external keyboards?
rofl how do you type them with your thumbs if its like that.... you phone wont even stand.

I'm not going to write long articles with it. Though if it's comfortable I might. I just want it for every-day texting and what not. I am a write, so my average text is never under the 164 character limit or whatever the limit is. And Idk why it would matter what swiftkey supports.

I know, that's another problem. I was hoping to have a slider case, like the original droid's keyboard did. It just slid out and you typed... Those were the days

I know what would be just the PERFECT lil keyboard for you...the TREWGrip: Universal Handheld Keyboard and Air Mouse that's currently trying to get enough funding through their KickStarter campaign...THIS looks like just the keyboard for ya! Also, here's a short-n-sweet little review from NBC News for you. This new little device seems to have a lot of people either lovin' it or hatin' it, with most people leaning over towards the latter. I, myself, have never seen such a thing in the wild and I'm also not a big fan of keyboards, let alone keyboards like this one...but to each his own. At least check it out, as it's a very interesting new piece of technology that's at the very least worth reading about! :good:

We want a keyboard case so it can fit in our pocket. Thank you everyone for the links.. But a big bluetooth keyboard or that weird sideways keyboard aren't fitting in a pocket. The Note is already giving my pocket a workout! Well I'll wait for now, or maybe make one myself.
We'll be waiting forever. No one seems to be interested in making one... If you do end up making one please let me know! I will pay you for it.

Ugh I know. I'd be willing to pay a LOT. Like $70 or even a bit more if it was GOOD. Not hacked together. Though even if it was a bit hacked together if it worked and was relatively durable I'd pay near to half that. Yeah if I make one it probably won't be pretty lol but i'll keep you updated. I'll post how I did it if so. I'll wait a bit more and keep looking for QWERTY slider keyboard cases for the Note 3. I will post back if one is found!
Hi, can anyone create an android app that split the screen into two views for googlecardboard or any vr headset, or is there any app that does the same ?

That would be totally awesome! I just got my VR headset and i found it would be really great to somehow convert the whole android experience in VR...with an external controller or some head tracking and pointing it should work very well. And even if without 3D depth, the big screen effect could still be worth it!
Split Screen
This would be perfect! has anybody achieved this ?
