Google日前宣布发放Android 4.0版本操作系统(又名冰淇淋三明治),这是一款综合性的操作系统,支持智能手机,平板电脑和数字电视。

在香港的新闻发布会上传出消息,三星公司在同一时间推出了第一款搭载此操作系统的智能手机——Galaxy Nexus。本次三星新手机的亮相,兑现了对谷歌的承诺,在谷歌125亿美元收购摩托罗拉移动之后,他们仍将作为合作伙伴继续开发产品。
一年前,谷歌在其年度开发者会议上宣布了该整合版本Android的计划,新版本是第一个内置支持近场通信(NFC)Android。
采用一个名为Android束功能(Android Beam feature)的NFC技术,实现手机之间共享数据的链接。NFC技术还支持谷歌钱包,电子支付服务等。
Android 4.0的增强,主要表现在应用程序和用户界面层。包括一个改进的浏览器,可以同步谷歌浏览器的书签,支持Google+社交网络,增强邮件和日历程序,以及最新脸部识别解锁手机功能。
三星Galaxy Nexus采用LTE和HSPA+网络,搭配4.65英寸AMOLED显示屏,支持1280 × 720像素的分辨率,可以拍摄720P视频。使用1 GB的RAM和16GB的闪存,以及一颗名称未知的1.2 GHz双核心处理器。
老版本的Android怎么办?
不管Android 4.0的界面变得多么华丽,功能更加强大,新的旗舰机,几核处理器多少内存,大多数安卓用户关心的问题是:这个漂亮好吃的冰激凌到底会不会来到自己的老手机上呢?
针对这个问题,Google的产品经理Gabe Cohen表示,Google的二儿子Nexus S肯定可以升级4.0,其他运行2.3系统的安卓手机理论上也能够升级。不幸的是,关于Google的大儿子——Nexus One,它这次貌似是要被老爹抛弃了。

Google rolls out Android 4.0 with Samsung
Rick Merritt
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Goggle announced the release of Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, unifying what were separate variants of the OS for smartphones, tablets and digital TVs.
The news came in a Hong Kong press conference where Samsung launched the first smartphone using the software, the Galaxy Nexus. The debut with a Samsung device gives credence to Google's promise to continue to work with all Android partners in the wake of its $12.5 billion bid to buy Motorola Mobility.
Google announced at its annual developer conference a year ago its plans to bring together the separate phone, tablet and TV versions of Android. The new version is the first with built-in support for near-field communications (NFC).
A so-called Android Beam feature uses NFC links to share data between phones. NFC also provides the underpinnings for Google Wallet, an electronic payment service.
Android 4.0 sports a number of enhancements, mainly at the applications and user interface level. They include an improved browser that can synch bookmarks with Google Chrome, support for Google+ social networking, enhanced mail and calendar programs and Face Unlock, a face-recognition feature used for unlocking a handset.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus runs on LTE and HSPA+ networks and sports a 4.65-inch AMOLED display supporting 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, including 720-progreessive video. It uses an unnamed 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1 Gbyte RAM and 16 GBytes flash.
