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.
Schmidt touched on a wide range of subjects at the conference, including serving onApple’s board as Google was launching Androidand Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs.
Ice Cream Sandwich wasannounced at Google I/O earlier this year, when they explained that it would be the OS that finally unified all Android versions across talbets and smartphones. We’ve seen somespy shotsof what the new Android version looks like on a phone and we’re just not seeing it to be honest, although it does look great.
In addition to the new ‘unifying’ OS, Google set up aconsortium of manufacturersthat it said would help it to prevent fragmentation in future devices.
