Alvaro Fuentes Vasquez, a leader in the OHA, the following message to his followers over the weekend tweeted: “Prepare your Nexus One (Developer version) for Android OTA update 2.3 (gingerbread) for the next few days.”
The OHA is the organization that monitors development of Google’s Android platform. tweet before Vasquez, a time frame for Android 2.3 release gingerbread was anyone’s guess. Based on his tweet, it seems as if the developer is the official developer handset – the Nexus One – be the first to update their equipment to see the latest version of Android.
So what’s in Android 2.3 New? Google has said very little about the upcoming release of its Mobile Smartphone platform. A report provided some insight a few weeks ago about what to store in gingerbread.
The first and most obvious change in the operating system is that the graphics and icons have been updated. Based on a screenshot, the program icons have a consistent look and provider for a cleaner look for the operating system.
Earlier this year Google webOS designer Matias Duarte turned away from Palm. He was responsible for Android UI team down and the assumption is that he was brought on board to improve the look and feel of Android. The early screenshots seem to confirm this assumption. It is possible that the presence of Duarte has the intended effect: a better, more consistent user interface.
Beyond new icons and graphics, the user interface, more colors – especially green Android – and an expanded message drawer with prominent carrier branding. The UI will update and kinetic scrolling on long menus and add animations.
Functional changes are also reflected. First and foremost, it seems that Google has the GTalk-based code to Android, which will allow for native video chat features (especially now that third-party software like Qik is needed) included.
Second, Google has taken Google’s native SIP support voice applications for Android. This means it will be possible toanswer calls to your voice number via Google Wi-Fi or 3G reception. can this functionality only on gingerbread and later versions of Android, it does not back ported to Froyo or Eclair.
The update can developers on Android phones as early as this be made available Thursday 11 November. Google did not provide an update to Android since the May release of Android 2.2. Via InformationWeek.com
