Android sandwich underway!

Now here’s an ice cream sandwich that everyone would wanna eat. At San Francisco’s Dreamforce conference, Google’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt mentioned (accidentally?) that the next Android upgrade, deliciously named Ice Cream Sandwich, is due for release sometime in October or November. To quote the chairman:
We have a new operating system, internally known as Ice Cream Sandwich for some reason, which is being released in October/November, which everyone’s really excited about.

Current Android devices use a separate OS for mobile phones and tablets. With the Ice Cream Sandwich, Google aims to bring the best of Honeycomb and Gingerbread into one universal mobile operating system. This can also add to the speculation that the next Nexus phone, Samsung’s Nexus Prime, which is rumored to be released in the same time. As October comes nearer, more and more rumors will come out. Until then, head onto the video below for Schmidt’s statement.
