There has been a bit of bad press recently, criticising Android 4.0′s new OS-wide typeface Roboto and the similarities it shares with Helvetica.

I too was a little disappointed in Google’s choosing to move away from Droid Sans to something more generic. Droid Sans wasn’t a pretty typeface, but it was quite good for screen reading — more so than Helvetica — and that’s what Ian Cylkowski talks about in the linked article.
