Android ICS is 'gangbusters,' statue unveiled Google's CEO Larry Page, after announcing quarterly earnings on Thursday afternoon, had some choice words for the company's upcoming Android 4.0 release.
"You won't believe what we have managed to do in this release. We see Android going gangbusters, and we don't see anything that will stop that," says the CEO.

On the same morning, the Google campus received delivery of the giant Ice Cream Sandwich statue (embedded video).

For quarterly earnings, revenue rose to $7.51 billion, well above analyst expectations and profit was $9.72 per share, almost $1 higher than analyst estimates.

Google and Samsung are expected to announce the Nexus Prime flagship phone (and first device with ICS) on October 19th.
