So we’ve heard this new android version. The Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)

Android 4.0 is a Google’s latest project aiming to unify multiple android versions so that it may enforce that all upcoming android devices weather smartphones or tablets will only have one kind of android version.

Let’s take a look what’s inside ice cream sandwich and pick what excites you most! haha
