I'ts from the part where they are showing the sneak preview what's coming after froyo. Link
Looking way better than it does now IMO!
Pretty sure that's the Froyo UI.
I can't wait for Gingerbread! FroYo is so 2 hours ago.
The top one is a picture of Gingerbread, though, from Goolge IO.
Why would they be using a prototype OS in a large keynote? It has a higher chance of failing in the middle of the presentation.
I thought that was froyo screenshots. humm.....
But in the video that op posted from google IO, they mentioned it's froyo. Not gingerbread. I am confused.

This post made me laugh. Did you watch the keynote? They had a very high rate of failure in the middle of the demos. LMAO.
Seriously though, the top pic is gingerbread. The demonstration was of a feature from a future release after Froyo. It's not that big of an assumption to assume what "future release after FroYo" is referring to.
Wasn't that the demonstration of web apps being allowed to use hardware features, like the compass etc
With that in mind, perhaps the difference is because those are not Android windows, but instead window on the webpage?

That does make sense. All of those actions were performed from the browser to show off the browser accessing the hardware directly.
it does seem like a new UI for gingerbread. Also, Froyo does not have the updated music player they showed in the demo.
I don't really understand why google would want to show off features from future updates.

To irritate us? Or, for all we know, is it's still in testing and 2.3 could come out before gingerbread.
I noticed that the top bar had the full date written out. Don't see anywhere in the settings to do this in froyo.
edit: nm.. it's in the notification bar when you pull it down. durr

that happens normally when you have your notification drawer pulled down
The images look just like the exact same visual style as the new Car Home app in Froyo, for whatever that's worth. It looks good.
OTOH, wasn't foryo supposed to have some kind of night-mode ? Cause that would pretty much be it.
Dunno about anything Froyo specific, but Navigation already has night mode?

And yet the HD is still a horrible device
and also this has been around for ages with a number of updates...can't find the post right now though
You know what even funnier...
Those graphs are an outright lie. They are from Gizmodo! They love Apple.
Opera is the most popular mobile browser. Symbian has over 30,000 apps, not 1,000, winmo (not on the list you notice) has 35,000+. Most iPhone apps are only made to fix missing features to start with, and all but 150 or so of the rest are rubbish and pointless.

It certainly doesnt feel as epic as it is made to sound. Having used an iphone (not 3G) for a week, I actually preferred my old LG Viewty.

heres original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484132
I just reinstalled my PC and right now I have alot of stuff to do, so no updates this week, but maybe next week!!!!!
Hope I didn't overlook this...
Skyfire has started the alpha stage for Android devices! Sadly, I didn't have a chance to read the email from them until after the Alpha sign up had gotten closed.
Hopefully someone on here got into the alpha group and will be able to pass along the experience!
If it's anything like their WinMo version I'll pass. It was glitchy and made every web page look absolutely hideous.
Want to see what it does? Take a screen shot of a web page, then save it was a jpg with the compression turned up to max. This is what Skyfire's web pages look like when you're browsing:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

If you're wanting a faster browser, use Opera Mini. It's in Beta, works pretty well, and doesn't butcher web pages.

And GldRush98:
I didn't experience that at all with Skyfire on any of my WM devices, and I have loaded it on a good 50+ customer's WM devices, from Snaps to TouchPro2's. It is the only browser that gives a truly full 100% internet experience on a mobile device. Opera does do some things better, like text wrap, but Skyfire, IMHO, is better overall.
Skyfire will be an instant 100% guaranteed way to watch Hulu on Android. I see no problems with that!
Your browser of choice for everything else, and Skyfire for flash content. Sounds good to me.
So does anyone have the.. ahem ahem.. apk for it..
Sounds pretty awesome from these descriptions..

I am thinking they only did the alpha sign up for it, and haven't actually sent it to anyone yet, firstly.
Second, if it is like Skyfire on WM, even if we get the .apk we might not be able to use it since it might make you setup a Skyfire account and sign in... early versions of the WM made you sign in before you could surf, the newer version do not.
As well, being alpha I and that it is server side processing, they will likely be pretty hardcore in preventing a leaked alpha .apk from causing them issues (I am guessing either forcing a sign in to use it, or by # each one so that when you start surfing, the servers says "hey, there are 3 thousand #5's, lets turn off service to any Anroid Skyfire browser with serial #5)
Skyfire ties all of their pre-release versions to phone IMEI's. Even if you get the APK, it will do you no good.
ya i was pretty bummed to see i missed it as well
did testing on the winmo version, it was decent, just that winmo sucks
cant wait to use it on android, hopefully they open another round of applicants in the near future and its not closed out within 10hrs
Do you guys think this will be a market update or software update since the Nexus S is getting it in 2.3.4?
Maybe Samsung is waiting until then to give us official Gingerbread?
Thoughts?
Looks to me like Google is only going to do it on 2.3 phones, with 2.3 already percolating, we Epic users shouldn't have to wait too long.
"Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future," Google explained in a blog post, which also offers a screenshot and demo video.

Hopefully someone can do something with this . Google talk with video presumably integrates better with the android os than other alternatives, so it makes sense Google is integrating it into 2.3 instead of back supporting 2.2... that said, only the stock or "developer" android phones like nexus one and nexus s will be getting these right now...

Video calling framework has actually been built into Android since at least 2.1. If you check our hidden menus, there are all kinds of options for it, except the part that actually lets you make a video call.
I'd also wager that it'll pretty seamlessly interface with FaceTime since Gizmo5 pretty much did what FaceTime did using the same protocols and standards, except it was doing it back in '06.
Below are some screen shots of Ice Cream Sandwich. More in the Album linked below.
Looks pretty legit.
Thoughts on ICS?

The closer and closer we get to the Unpacked event we get to see their sweets. Either way the UI is nice and I hope they changed the media player and Music
I found this about a half hour ago, saying that and Samsung are going to postpone http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...d-Google-cancel-Nexus-Prime-phone-launch.html unpacked.
Saw the video and I really really like the UI a lot!! Hopefully the prime will go to tmobile in December or even January, hope it does.... I prefer this because it will be the latest and the greatest smartphone with its non-capacitive button design and latest OS..
if that's real, it looks alright. though, i'm surprised at kernel 3.0.1. the switch to 3.0 was just over two months ago, so it would surprise me to see it on android already (considering Ubuntu is still on 2.6.38 and Fedora is using 2.6.40, i would think the full linux distros would be changing the kernel version to 3.0 before android).
Hopefully with Google improving Androids UI, less manufacturers would mess with it.
^^ the manufacturers will always have their own signature of android launcher to differentiate their devices from the rest.. I don't mind it at all as long as they make the UI better and add useful functionality into it..
Is ICS gonna be 2.4 or 4.0?
I just wish that manufacturers would make their launcher work like any other third party launcher instead of integrating it like they do.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If it's a straight Google phone, won't the launcher be ICS stock?
Just something I noticed. Where is the "battery use "in the settings?

I think the fonts are better than current Android versions, but I'm not that impressed.
It's still asking for OEMs to molest it, as well, which is unfortunate.
Not enthused.

Kind of hate to say, but, Google appears to be the only one with legitimate "news". We've all heard the rumors, "leaks", and everything else, and it's proven a few times to be inaccurate. Anything from October 18th, October 24th, now a possible October 28th. With no true official launch information from Google, how can this be accurate? It's just a countdown to the next rumored date.
