Android 3.0 Gingerbread operating system
We know that there is a planned release of the Android 3.0 (gingerbread) hopefully before the end of the year. Apparently while some rumors have been saying that this new operating system will blow the socks off many people to be honest details have been very skeptical and difficult to come across on this.
But, today some details have emerged which come from Mobile-review.com’s Eldar Murtazin which are very interesting indeed.
Here’s a quick rundown of what we may expect
- Android 3.0 Gingerbread will be released in mid- October (around 15 -16th), 2010. First handsets shipping in November/December – for the Holiday Season.
- Minimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher. (We all, of course, heard that Android handsets with 2GHz CPU’s are coming)
- New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher. (Anyone thinking about Android tablets now? )
- Completely revamped user interface. If you want to get a feeling of what Android 3.0 Gingerbread UX is like, check out the Gallery App on Nexus One. The same overall feel, light animated transitions,etc. Natively, through all the UI.
- Android’s split into 2 branches becomes official. 3.0 for top of the line/high end devices. Cheap, low-end mass market handsets will keep Android 2.1/2.2
