Android 2.3 Gingerbread Overview

2010-12-06
hey guys today I'm here with the first look at the new Android 2.3 update also known as Gingerbread so Gingerbread brings a lot of new things to Android does the OS in general and let me go ahead and go over a few of my favorites so the first thing is that the UI has been overhauled now this is not the entire it's not been you know totally overhauled and totally changed that's coming later however it is been tweaked quite a bit and in my eye it looked quite a bit better you know the colors are more consistent and generally just looks like a nice or more pleasant operating system to use another big thing is that they've actually went ahead and made it a lot more friendly to games so if you're you know wanting to play a game especially for your developer basically the operating system allows you to make much much better games it's a lot more optimized for you know whatever game that you would like to do which is definitely gonna be great they've also improved the keyboard and the copy and paste so of course you know as always the Android keyboard has been ok not amazing but not awful well they had definitely improved it they've added you know more spacing they they've got the layout just a little bit better and in addition they've also went ahead and added copy and paste in War One Touch Ward selection again this doesn't look quite as good as what you might find on the iPhone of the iPod Touch however it's not the biggest deal in the world and it's absolutely great that they are improving it now continuing on they've also went ahead and increase the power management so of course most people who you know you if you have an Android phone you definitely want to go ahead and have some kind of task manager well now there's something kind of similar built and we're actually will show you what is taking up the most battery so perhaps it's the display perhaps it's you know one of your ass whatever it is it will go ahead and actually break it down for you and show you what is taking up the most battery and what isn't so it definitely should help you kind of understand you know why your batteries not lasting as long as you like so it doesn't like a very very useful thing now one thing that I think is going to be really really good in this new Android 2.3 update is NFC also known as near-field communication basically this will allow your Android phone to serve is almost like dual just all kinds of for example you go ahead and use it as a credit card once you know people start rolling that out so you should set your phone near a little scanner and you can go ahead and pay for things but in addition to that you can also go ahead and transfer data you can do all kinds of things and this is already built into Android 2.3 so that's about it there are several other improvements and everything I'm not gonna go ahead get into everything but overall I am very very impressed with Android 2.3 and now of course this is gonna be slowly start rolling out to a lot of phones and of course the Google Nexus S will be the first phone to release with this so definitely looking forward to getting my hands on Android 2.3 and give you guys a more thorough review anyway guys thanks for watching
