Well, i think the article is about the icons more than the firmware updates. Looks like they will put icons on 3 rows cause of Apple lawsuits.

I saw it earlier today. It's totally stupid.

Make it 5 a row instead. 3 is just insane, makes it look like a cheap toy or an outdated navigation system or something.

I'm happily running MIUI.

I will be sticking with a ROM that has the icons we have now no matter how good the new update is.

I guess they are doing this 3x3 menu because of that apple patent lawsuit. Sammy should hire some good photoshop pro in their touchwiz crew instead doing such crappy thing

I don't think you guys are getting it. They are not making all the icons bigger or changing the layout, what I understand is that they will be making it an option to have bigger icons if you want... BIG HOME.

This I understand me too: you have the option that you put 3 bigger icons instead 4 in home screen.

Finally found the original press release but google translate isn't working so well on it.

From that press release it seems obvious that the magnified icons and apps are a feature (mostly for older people), and not the new default.

This is a great ideia, btw. The SG2 lacked in accessibility options such as this.
