Google’s Android’s 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system has a great many new features for the user that are still on their way to becoming widely used. However, even before this has happened, Google are getting ready to launch the next version in the form of Android 5.0. Taiwan’s DigiTimes has reported that the company are planning to release this next version surprisingly soon, in the second quarter of this year. Android 5.0 will be focused more on tablets.
The Android 4.0 system is still being explored by users however. It is a system which offers linked social profiles for users, so that all their contacts are integrated with each other. This means that whether a user is rushing to meet a friend or busy playing partypoker, they will not have to put too much effort into accessing this type of data if they need to get in touch with someone. It also has a new font system that allows users to take screenshots easily and without having to install any apps or rooting their phone. This new system is called Roboto and it is also able to transcribe words into text straight away.
Many other new features are also available, however Google is already thinking of the next step, which apparently is offering an Android 5.0 operating system that is optimized specifically to cater for tablet PCs. The company are planning to enable users to switch between the two operating systems of Android 5.0 and Chrome, without needing to reboot their device. They are pushing this dual-operating system design, in the hope that they can do better than rivals such as Apple’s iOS 5.
