Video demonstrates how to use your Galaxy Nexus as a desktop computer
In Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Google added even better support for plug in and Bluetooth peripherals. The idea to increase the options for game controlers, or for those who wanted to use a Bluetooth keyboard for inputting long-form text into say Gmail.
Software developer and science fiction writer Christain Cantrell decided to take that one step further, and plug a monitor and all of the usual desktop peripherals into a Galaxy Nexus to see what the desktop experience would be like. The results are surprisingly functional (and even fairly polished), as you can see in the video below.
There isnt anything specific to the Galaxy Nexus hardware here this should be possible on any suitably powerful ICS device (once ICS starts to be deployed to a wider range of devices), although OEM skins might negatively impact the results.
When you think about how much Motorola likely invested to develop their Webtop environment to bring similar functionality to their Gingerbread devices and how much better this looks over Motorolas initial attempts it really drives home how powerful Android 4.0 can be in a wide range of user scenarios.
