Owners of the shiny new Galaxy Nexus were fretting over their first weekend with Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich – it turns out that the new OS doesn’t have Flash support. Suddenly people with the world’s most advanced operating system had to fire-up their laptops to view websites fully, but that lunacy won’t last.

So if you were thinking of getting a Galaxy Nexus but worried that your favourite Flash site would be out of reach, fear not – our Galaxy Nexus hands-on review was bang on when it proclaimed it the best Android yet.
