Well, we all know how silly Google can get, and that's just how it goes when you're a multi-billion dollar company. You can do whatever the heck you want to. And with that, Google tends to cleverly hide little tidbits of joy within their OS on flagship devices, and your job is to dig deep and find them. Well, the Easter Egg hunt is over in Ice Cream Sandwich as it's finally been uncovered. We're not sure if this is just for the UK version of the Galaxy Nexus or not but it looks like the tidbit has been uncovered nonetheless. If you jump into your system settings and tap on the Android version multiple times in a row, you'll receive a greeting from a little Andy. If you press on him and hold, he grows larger and larger until he transitions in to a slew of flying Nyan-Andys across your screen. In addition, to further add to the silliness, in the ADT plug-in for LogCAt, someone made a bold request to change the log into a cat, and Google being Google was happy to oblige. The logo has now been changed to the little Nyan-Andy for developers everywhere. What you do you think of this go-around's Easter Egg hunt? Worth the hunt? Or hardly worth the hunt? Hit the break to check out the video demo.

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.
