Google has unveiled the latest version of its industry-leading Android smartphone software. Ice Cream Sandwich – also known as Android 4.0 – follows the tradition of naming versions after cakes, confectionery or frozen desserts. It adds a range of new features and a redesigned interface and it was launched in partnership with Samsung, whose Galaxy Nexus handset will be the first to use it.

Design changes for Android 4.0 include:
– Replacing physical buttons on devices with equivalent on-screen icons.
– New lock screen features – the ability to access camera and notifications.
– Ability to group apps and shortcuts by dragging icons onto each other.
– Redesigned multi-tasking screen. Applications are represented by scrollable tiles.

Other software changes include:
– Face recognition unlocking. Rather than entering a pattern code as in previous versions, users can opt to look into their camera.
– Enhanced email capability – support for nested subfolders
– Android Beam – users can swap web content or links to apps by touching their phones together.
– Enhanced voice input featuring a continuously open microphone – meaning phones listen out for instructions.

According to figures published by Canalsys in August, Android handsets accounted for 48% of smartphones shipped to retailers, compared to 19% for Apple devices. However, many more Android models are available, from manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
