5 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT ANDROID 3.0

Better graphics Android 3.0’s Renderscript engine exploits the power of the GeForce graphics accelerators found in the new hardware, providing a more PC-like experience than any phone is currently capable of.

Updated apps Camera and Gallery have been redesigned for big screens and Contacts and Email have a new, dualpane UI. Books looks better than iBooks and Youtube’s new 3D video wall is just stunning .

Better web browser Based on Google’s superb Chrome, the new browser uses the same approach to tabs. Users can choose to automatically sign in to Google sites and sync bookmarks with their desktop Chrome account.

Customisable homescreens New widgets allow homescreens to display 3D-flippable grids and lists, and the interface has been redesigned from the ground up to support new gestural controls.

Multitasking The system bar has a list of recent apps to make toggling programs a cinch, and uses visual cues to display a snapshot status of each app. This makes them identifiable as they run in the background.
