Android users are jazzed about news that Google will be rolling out
the latest iteration of its mobile operating system to more devices,
but how quickly that will happen has some consumers asking questions.
Just a day after the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
arrived in stores as the first smartphone in the U.S. to ship with
Android 4.0, Google said it will be rolling out the operating system,
also called Ice Cream Sandwich, to some other devices as well.
Android 4.0.3, an incremental release of the Android 4.0 platform,
includes a variety of optimizations and bug fixes for phones and
tablets. For instance, now status updates from social media sites sync
with contacts so you can see what connections are doing online in real
time. It also sports an improved calendar and camera capabilities as
well as improvements in graphics, database, spell-checking, and
Bluetooth.
When
you do get it, expect to be impressed. ICS is completely unlike
previous versions of Android. Google has given nearly every facet of the
OS a makeover, and the very core of the Android user experience has
been completely reinvented.
Many Android users are thanking Google in public forums for the roll
out plans, while others lament the fact that their devices may have to
still wait a while to take a bite of Ice Cream Sandwich. For instance,
even though it looks like GSM/UMTS Nexus S devices will get the upgrade,
so far Google hasn't said when it will roll out to the CDMA version of the phone (i.e. the Nexus S 4G on Sprint).
