The Gingerbread is here! And just in time for Christmas. Coincidence?
Android 2.3 is here – but what actually new in the Linux based brew? Here are the main features:
- UI refinements
- More intuitive text input
- One touch word selection and copy/paste
- Improved power management
- Application control
- New ways of communicating and organizing
- Internet calling
- Near-field communication
- Download management
- Multiple camera usage
Must say I am most excited about the download manager and the copy/paste features.
Depending on from where you download, it’s a nightmare to find the document, song or whatever it was you wanted!
And the copy/paste is simply annoying in 2.2, it really DOES NOT WORK as intended, and I end up writing the whole thing I wanted to copy by hand instead… Argh!
