Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Specification

Ice Cream Sandwich is the latest version of the Android family planned to be released in the Q4 2011. Mike Cleron, Google's Speaker at the last Google I/O Conference, said that Ice Cream Sandwich is the most ambitious project from Google.



The new Android Ice Cream Sandwich will have more powerful features such as:

1. One OS Everywhere

The main problem faced by application developers for Android is fragmentation. As is known smartphones, tablets, and Google TV has a different version of Android, so developers have to work hard to adapt to the applications they create. While Google has been taught how to create applications for a variety of screen sizes, but the problem that arises then is when uploading different versions of the application to a variety of different Android devices.

For that Mike Cleron said that the purpose of the Ice Cream Sandwich is to provide convenience to the developers in creating their applications.

2. Better User Interface

Although not yet known appearance of the Ice Cream Sandwich, but the rumor is growing so sure that it would be a Holographic development of the new UI released at the Google I/O a few months ago. Surely with the new launcher, multitasking UI, widgets Richer and more recent aplikai.

Others say that the Ice Cream Sandwich Android phone will be made without capacitive buttons and replaced by on screen navigation buttons such as the Honeycomb on the tablets.

3. Truly Open Source

Google plans to enter the Ice Cream Sandwiches on the Android Open Source Project. Of course this is good news especially for those of you who like using a custom ROM. Andy Rubin said that his company wants to prevent developers to incorporate Android mobile software on the user experience which often leads to really bad.

4. Android 4.0

Google so far does not mention the version number of the Ice Cream Sandwich until its release later. But you can bet that this ambitious project will be called as Android 4.0. Because unlike the previous version so it seems unlikely Google will use the version number 3.x.

5. Linux 3.0 kernel

Linus Torvalds announced the latest update from Linux on 21 July. Chance of Ice Cream Sandwiches will use the latest version, the Linux 3.0 Kernel.

6. Provide Music on Android Market

Android lovers must have long hoped the Android Market can provide a digital song sales. But until now there has been also realized. The latest leaked contains icons for the music store are believed to be part of Google's plan to prepare for Android Music Store, it can even be launched before the release of Ice Cream Sandwich.

7. Multi-core processors in Tablet and Smartphones

Android 2.x can support multi-core processors, but not optimal. Android 3.0 is the first version that can run either on single-core processors and multi-core processors. And Android 4.0 will complement all that well on the tablet and for smartphones.

8. 1.8x faster than Honeycomb

The Ice Cream Sandwich speed will be higher than 1.8 x Honeycomb. But because there is no detailed information, it is not known whether increased speed is there in your browser, or overall performance GPU.

9. Integration of Google TV and Chrome OS with smart docks

What may be developed by Google is like what has made Motorola a smart strategy dock. Later if you connect Android phone to a television then you'll get features such as TV or Google Chrome OS.

10. Theme engines for OEM official

Google is currently said to be working on an engine officicial theme chosen for number of manufacturers. Go Launcher EX you can find in the Android Market is said to be one part of that theme.

11. Official Game Center

OpenFeint and Scoreloop is a social gaming network, but Google's Android not yet have an official game center that could be used to compete with Apple. Reportedly Games Google services will be provided, and as a first step has diberikand Google+.

12. Support Android phone available today

At the recent Google I/O Android team asked if the Ice Cream Sandwich require special requirements to hardware so it cannot run on Android phones that have been circulating on the market today. Although it does not mention one of the phones but Google indicates that a phone with Android 2.3 can be updated to Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

13. New camera tricks, virtual camera operator

Android Ice Cream Sandwich will have many features of the API developers included some cool camera tricks. Even if you recall, Google has to show it on Google I/O.
