Turn Your Android 4.0 Galaxy Nexus into A Video Game Console
Great news for gamers: USB gamepads will be fully functional in Android 4.0 as well.
We all know that the Android Honeycomb OS came with support for USB hosting capabilities, which in essence, allowed devices like USB gamepads to be connected to tablets with said OS. Well, guess what - the function returns on the Android 4.0 OS (Ice Cream Sandwich) as well, marking its arrival as a built-in feature for Android smartphones. Plug an adapter for the full-sized USB connector on your gamepad into the Samsung Galaxy's micro-USB port, and you essentially get a portable gaming console on your hands.
