Android 2.3,2.4 Gingerbread:
Gingerbread was officially released in December 2010.
On December 6th, 2010, Google officially announced the first phone with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread. The phone was Nexus S, which Google co-developed with Samsung. The phone was originally only available for T-Mobile, but was later made for Sprint and AT&T as well.
Gingerbread supports SIP internet calling, NFC wireless transaction capability(if hardware is present), more than one cameers, and gyroscopes and other sensors (barometers, gravitymeters, and other are possible). It also features a download manager, some tweaks to allow usage on tablets, and other system level tweaks for programmers.
As a dessert, gingerbread is basically a ginger-flavoured cookie. It is often made to celebrate end of year holidays in the US. The cookies are cut into festive shapes often the shape of man and decorated with icing and candy.
The user interface is refined in many ways across the system, making it easier to learn, faster to use, and more power efficient. A simplified visual theme of colours against black brings vividness and contrast to the notification bar, menus and other parts of the UI. Changes in menu and the settings make it easier for the user to navigate and control the features of the system and device.
The Android soft keyboard is redesigned and optimized for faster text input and editing. The keys themselves are reshaped and repositioned for improved targeting, making them easier to see and press accurately, even at high speeds. The keyboard also displays the current character and dictonary suggestions in larger , more vivid style that is easier to read.
The keyboard adds the capability to correct entered words from suggestions in dictonary. As the user selects a word already entered, the keyboard displays suggestions that the user can choose from, to replace the selection. The user can also switch to voice input mode to replace the selection. Smart suggestions let the user accept a suggestion and then return to correct it later, if needed from the original set of suggestions.
