We got our hand on the early Alpha version of the newest Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich. The overall experience looks very polished and we are sure it would make gingerbread or even iOS5 look like Stone-Age OS.
Folks over at XDA developers are working on it for the Nexus One and were kind enough to give us a shot at it.
Though in the Early versions, it works good enough for us even on the Nexus One.
