Google also intends to create more favorable conditions for developers by releasing a new set of APIs. This will help them scale up applications on different sizes of Android devices from 3.5-inch smartphones to 10.1-inch tablets. So this new operating system will be able to intelligently change itself to suit different sized devices.
In addition, advanced features will also be included in this version. In this year's Google I / O conference, Google demonstrated the 3D headtracking feature by using a front-mounted camera so you can pinpoint the object you're talking to and focus on them while doing a Video calls. Also face-tracking will be an important feature that will appear in this operating system
Smartphone users will also receive an extensive multitasking tool, including a management system that automatically handles open resources for you, so you won't experience memory exhaustion when running applications. Use or be prompted to exit any application
Besides, you can easily expand the size of a widget on the Home Screen screen, while existing widgets can also be upgraded by the developer with just a few lines of code.
In addition Google has introduced new guidelines, which promise to update this operating system in the first 18 months for existing mobile phones. Therefore, Ice Cream will appear in a number of devices released in late 2011, and will flood the market in 2012 next.
Unlike Android 3.0 HoneyComb, the completely open source Ice Cream Sandwich version gives developers the freedom to edit the source code to improve features.
