No sooner had Google unwittingly confirmed the Ice Cream Sandwich launch for next week, than a video of the Samsung-made Nexus Prime handset leaks on to the web.

It's the first time we've seen the handset or the upcoming version of Android in any kind of detail, having had to make do with Samsung's teasers and a bad snap of the corner of the handset up until now.
It seems cliché to say, but the handset does seem to have a very iPhone-inspired look in this ill-lit video, although we can't see the back panel which Samsung's teaser implies is curved and tapers at one end.
