Google continues to work to improve its latest version of Android, known as Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich. And it has presented what will be the base version of all terminals as soon as it goes on the market for all mobiles - Nexus S is already receiving this version with its update -. The numbering of this new release is Android 4.0.3.
With it, Mountain View fixes some problems present in the previous versions of Android 4.0 and, in addition, new optimizations are integrated. We remember that this operating system will be valid for both smartphones and tablets, which will make it much easier for developers to distribute their applications and not have to release different versions to the market. And not like now that Honeycomb or Android 3.0 is the version optimized for touch tablets and Gingerbread or Android 2.3 is for advanced mobiles.
Among the highlights of Android 4.0.3 are the new APIs (application programming interface) that have been integrated into the software development kit ( SDK ). Among them there is the one that refers to the social status of the user's contacts. With this, you can now synchronize the user's data and know at all times and in real time, everything that particular contact is doing or saying next to their profile picture.
Another of the new functions of Android 4.0.3 will be to be able to put colors to the events that are created in the calendars and to be able to add more states. From now on, applications that make use of the camera can handle image stabilization and use QVGA resolutions when necessary.
Finally, it also improves performance in areas such as bluetooth technology, in graphic performance, in databases or in spell checking. Android 4.0.3 will be the version from which manufacturers who update their terminals must work to port Android 4.0 to their models.
