Short Review: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Google has released a new version of the Android operating system, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This release has many improvements over Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Android 3.0 Honeycomb was a release aimed towards tablets, so with the release of Android 4.0 many smartphones are seeing much improvements with user interactivity.

The interface is slicker and easier to navigate. Some of the more obvious changes are on the layout of the interface and there is a noticeable difference in the way to navigate around the screen. The other noticeable change is in the unlocking of the phone by simply dragging the phone to your face.

The other noticeable feature would have to be in the browser. The built-in browser now includes tabbed browsing which means that it is possible to navigate through open internet pages by scrolling live thumbnails.

To check out other features of the Android 4.0 operating system, the link below offers more in-depth content.
