Google Android OS Gingerbread Update Will Focus on Better User Interface
Google is bent on releasing Android OS Gingerbread in such a short period of time after releasing Froyo. Google aggressively released new versions of its Android operating systems since its first debut in Fall of 2008 and this trend isn’t going to slow down it seems. Tons of features have been added in the span of less than two years but the user experience has not improved that much. Sources inside Google’s Android team said the next scheduled Android OS update, codenamed “Gingerbread”, will focus more on the user interface rather than adding more features. The recent release of Android OS 2.2 Froyo has made the team felt they have already incorporated all the necessary core features to the OS and now wants to concentrate on the user experience side.
