VIDEO: Google Gets Giant Ice Cream Sandwich Delivery

- By - Source : YouTube

Is that the ice cream truck I hear?

Samsung and Google last week revealed the launch date for Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest iteration of Google's Android operating system. As is tradition, Google this week received a delivery of a giant Ice Cream Sandwich model for its front lawn in Mountain View. It's a tradition that stretches back as far as the launch of Cupcake, also known as Android 1.5, and brings the number of food items outside Google's HQ to seven. The desserts on display are a giant cupcake, a donut, an eclair, a bowl of froyo, a gingerbread man, a piece of honeycomb and, now, a huge ice cream sandwich.

Check out the video below to see the installation of the latest sugary OS:

I'll be honest, as a droid user, I find this kinda tacky and embarrassing.



As a droid user, I think it's awesome.

Wouldn't we all?
A lot of their employees are millionairs and that's not just the upper level execs that get big bonuses. They are actually generous to thier employees.

Hopefully they actually made Android good and intuitive this time around.



Nah, harder, more obscure, nonesensical with useless "customization" features is what droid fanboys prefer.

LOL, obviously you don't know what your talking about, little iSheep. First off what do you call Siri. All you hear about is iSheep flirting with Siri because they cannot get a girl in real life. Secondly Apple did not create Siri. They purchased Siri in April 2010 - Google it. Secondly Android has had Speaktoit and Vlingo out for a very long time that works better than Siri. Instead of giving a stupid answer that Siri does if doesn't know the question, Speaktoit Google searches it for you and shows results. Also you can search Google maps with it. Try using Siri off of Wifi. It takes about 20 seconds for some results. Android has about 8 times faster internet than the iPhone.

Also iCloud that iSheep are raving about is garbage compared to Dropbox. Dropbox has been out a long time for Google users. It works way better than iClound in the fact it works on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Also you can share files, music, apps, etc. with friends and family where you are limited to only the user account with iCloud. I also like how they copied Android on there lock screen and notification area. Real original Apple.

So enjoy your iPhone that likes to copy everything Android does and tiny screen, no 4G, No turn by turn voice navigation, and only 512 MB of memory, which Apple doesn't mention on there website. LOL

Aahh, now I know why they give these names for Android, it's for the perks! Someone in Google must have a sweet tooth.
