Since no one else has mentioned it, ICS has improved how you navigate among apps.

The three omnipresent buttons are now back, home, and recent apps. Recent apps pulls up a visual stack of everything you've used recently, so the ICS expectation would be that users would hit that key if they want to navigate among apps.



How do phones with hardware buttons access the recent apps list? Same as in 2.3 (long-press home)?


I only have a galaxy nexus, so no idea! :) Repurposing the search key would probably make the most sense to me, but I can see that would be confusing.

Has ICS rolled out to any older phones yet?
