Even though Part 1 shows a ton of shit, I didn't really like it, except the last point he made, I liked that.

 

All in all, great series.

I liked most of the video, the part I really didn't like is his rant about how the back button will change with IOS, he then shows that his android will always use this same button, does he not realize this is because it is part of the phone not of the operating system?

the back button on that phone is not a part of the hardware, I have an android tablet with 3.3 and the back button is a part of the OS, not the hardware. I assume that ICS operates in the same way.

I found it extra amusing that ICS has a software standard for where the back button is, and what it does, but with all of the standards regulation that the App Store's walled garden has, that part of navigation doesn't.

the back button on the Galaxy Nexus (what he was using) is part of the phone. See

I imagine it is, I have an LG Optimus V with 2.2 but I just got a Toshiba thrive tablet with 3.3 for christmas, which is pretty close to ICS

Nope. The buttons also rotate with the screen orientation.

yeah, I meant that the back button will always be on the bottom left corner of the screen relative to it's orientation.

weird, they look like buttons. I guess i was wrong, I researched it further and it seems like its part of the touch screen and uses soft keys.

 

Google really wanted to introduce soft keys so that you have more room for a screen and more space for other hardware.
