Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ OS pictures leaked

Images of the upcoming ‘Ice Cream Sandwich' Android operating system have been leaked. The new user interface has a new application drawer and launcher system, as well as colour scheme changes and an overhauled notification bar.

Android Police have detailed the new features, including a stunning panorama setting for the camera. They also discuss a new GMAIL theme to match the interface. According to reports, the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system will also run on many older devices.

RootzWiki received a few pictures, one of which is posted on this page – they also list some changes:

• Blue Themed
• Camera has built in panorama mode
• Will launch with Google Shopper and NFC Enabled devices will be able to utilize those features
• Gmail is all rethemed
• Will be available for the Nexus S
• Nexus Prime gets it first (expected) then other devices will follow after
• Not too many changes, just UI things, don't think requirements are set too high for year old devices to run it
• The little icon in the bottom right, looks like a tray with multiple apps in it
• Google search bar embedded on very top like Honeycomb
• Apps/Widgets launcher a lot like Honeycomb
• This release is still very early, notice the theming of the power tray

Kitguru says: Excited to play with the upcoming OS? We think it looks great so far.
