Android 4.0 code named Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) was released more than three months ago. Google's own Galaxy Nexus is perhaps the only device that ships with it at the moment. And because of that, there are only a handful of Android apps available whose design has been updated for Android 4.0+. That will change as time goes by. But which all are the Android apps whose design has been updated for Android 4.0 ICS at the moment? Let's find out.
Bump: Lets you share contact information and photos by simply bumping two phones together (both should have Bump installed of course and no music sharing supported at the moment).
Calculator 4.0: Advanced Calculator, Currency Converter, Measurement Converter, Mortgage Calculator, and Tip Calculator. Calculations Pro version also available.
Dropbox client for Android received an update recently and its new look and feel is in tune with latest design enhancements of Android 4.0 ICS.
Notes for ICS is a simple note taking application with Google Tasks sync capability. It is tablet friendly and comes with widgets. Designed for ICS.
Reddit News is a Reddit reader app for Android. It has got a beautiful Android 4.0 ICS inspired UI. Actually, there are quite a number of ICS friendly reddit apps for Android.

I have excluded official Google apps for obvious reasons. I have also deliberately excluded some other really popular apps from this list since we had already featured a number of them in our two previous articles: Most creatively designed apps for Android: Part 1 and Part 2.
