Brief key applications ICS

Thus, the presentation of Android Ice Cream Sandwich has been successfully and is now behind us. Some of the vendors even have announced any of their units will receive this update.

And we have in the meantime there was some information that will let still more cursory and superficial, but nonetheless still a more detailed acquaintance with the major proprietary applications from Google.



Browser
One application that has received a huge stack of changes - the browser. Strongly it affected tabs. They now react to the gestures and configured for obotrazheniya different ways. But most importantly - an opportunity to save the tabs to view their content offline.

Browser ICS
Also Google has finally brought to mind sync bookmarks with Chrome for the desktop version. There was also able to view destopnye version sites. That is, when you visit a site now, we often see a specially optimized mobile version. Now when you click the browser can pass himself off as a full desktop version and the server will give us the original version of the site, we would see him going on with the laptop.

Also came up a private browsing.

Gmail
favorite Gmail application took on an entirely new interface and a new action bar at the bottom of the application, obsepechivayuschy access to the most frequently-used functions. Navigating the application is carried out, as in the rest of the system - with gestures. Stroke to the left or right to read the previous or next message received. Read your mail has never been easier to Android. And most importantly, again, there is support for reading emails in offline. The contents of your mailbox, cached for up to 30 days.

Calendar
Calendar is also changed, as well as other applications. Got a corporate style interface and ICS management support for new gestures. Also now you can view additional information about events and using multitouch pinch-to-zoom.

Settings

Monitoring Traffic in ICS
In the setting of a new opportunity to view the traffic consumption. In this section you can see who and how many uses of mobile traffic. You can also set thresholds as necessary, beyond which is not desirable. In general, long accustomed to such opportunities to those who use third-party software, but the emergence of such tools to control and manage the system - the right move.

Camera

Camera Ice Cream Sandwich
The old camera app is finally transformed. It is now faster and now allows you to do snapshots. Google has also decided that it should be added modes for panoramic landscapes or activities. Also, improved autofocus while shooting video and the opportunity to use the zoom again when recording video.

Gallery

ICS Gallery
You can edit the photo. Now you can not just try to improve the quality of photography, but also to try to change it if necessary. All this is done now in the application gallery. Lost a familiar 3-D gallery, but there is a new ICS-style interface. This means that now will be used by large thumbnails, output useful information about the picture. In addition to application integrated some filters for image processing and it is possible to quickly send the resulting image in social services.

Dialer

Previously, most of all I was killing the Android standard application phone / address book. How changed the address book we've written a little earlier. The new interface, support for gestures again, easy to work with log conversations and, finally , support for images to contacts in the normal resolution. In general, now with this tool really should be a pleasure to work with.

Everything else
has changed course and other corporate applications from Google such as Google Maps, Google +, Google Music and others, but they are still, alas, not enough information.

However, as you that it was already clear? Did the changes and innovations?
