Looks like Google's new Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich is more than just a minor update. As I have looked through the list of changes, here's some features of significant note :
1. Different look and feel when accessing menus (from grid to list)
2. Face Unlock
3. Add and Cancel (text buttons to symbol buttons - tick and cross)
4. Restart option available after in pressing power button for few seconds.
5. Slide Lock experience - touch and drag outside of circle.
6. Task Manager navigation changed - grid to list (to remove, slide app left or right)
7. Reorganization Applications > Settings menus
8. Slightly improved battery life
9. Built in data usage monitor
10. Improved web browser performance
I can't wait to get the update for my phone. Come on Samsung, let's make it faster available in Asia !!
