The TI OMAP4 Processor And Android 4.0
The Galaxy Nexus is powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP4460 dual-core processor, one of the most powerful mobile processors on the market. TI's OMAP platform has a number of unique advantages compared to other mobile processors, and is a big part of what makes Android 4.0 on the Galaxy Nexus such a smooth, enjoyable experience.TI's OMAP chips utilize a unique memory management system that helps keep more RAM free, so your Galaxy Nexus can multi-task more quickly and efficiently. Ever wonder how the Galaxy Nexus manages to take such unbelievably quick snapshots from its rear camera? You can thank TI's dedicated image signal processor, which allows the Galaxy Nexus to focus, shoot, and capture photos more rapidly than any other major smartphone on the market.
Of course, the OMAP4460 is no slouch when it comes to raw horsepower, either. With its advanced and powerful hardware, HD video, high-end games, and the beautiful UI effects of Ice Cream Sandwich all run buttery smooth on the 4460 you'll find inside the Galaxy Nexus, keeping you on the cutting edge of software and hardware. Finally, with its built-in M-Shield hardware-level security, you can rest assured that your Galaxy Nexus will be trusted by content providers like Netflix for high-quality video streaming.
If you want to learn more about TI's OMAP4 platform and how it works uniquely with Android 4.0, check out this blog post, or, if you want even more technical details about how OMAP4 and Android 4.0 interact, this white paper has a plethora of additional information.

In combination with the Klipsch Control app, these headphones are among the best I've used. The warm, bright sound and resonating bass Klipsch is known for in its big, floorstanding speakers comes to life on a tiny scale with the S4A headphones. Check out our review of them, as well.
