Guest RedSlug Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 From what I have seen (A few demos, and tentative feature lists) this it not a major update, just a few tweak her and there. Does anyone know why 2.3 is supposedly better for tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why 2.3 is supposedly better for tablet? i think 3 is for tablets.. tbh I think 2.3 looks pretty poor, more like someones bad attempt at skinning the icons..

Guest sukh singh Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Im not excited at all like I was for the 2.2 update...with 2,2 it was a huge upgrade being able to run flash 10.1...what does gingerbread bring? My streak is fast with hydes mods just waiting for a final version in which everything works... And is 2.3 and 3.0 called gingerbread? That makes no sense?

Google renumbered Gingerbread from 3.0 to 2.3, probably due to the not-so-big jump in the interface. I believe it's being touted as "designed better for tablets", especially those that are 5 inches and larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greenmgf Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Ginigerbread is 2.3 and is not only for tablets as the PSP phone has been seen with it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joey_jojo Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I though I read somewhere that 2.3's biggest impact on tablet will be the ability for apps to scale correctly to non-standard sizes. Don't quote me on that tho, I may have hoped for that and stored it in my brain as something I read ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madd_dog Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I thought 2.3 was supposed to have native video chat. Which is major IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My streak is fast with hydes mods just waiting for a final version in which everything works... And is 2.3 and 3.0 called gingerbread? That makes no sense? Allow me to try and get you all that excited once more with a few links and some quotes : 1. 2. http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/01/playsta...ingerbread-and/ 3. Techblog.gr reports that it's dubbed the Sony Ericsson Z1 and comes with Gingerbread on board Now, keep in mind that this is Sony`s other take on gaming platforms as they did with the GO. SO, 2.3 will be highly optimised for gaming. Can`t find the websites where I also read that Gingerbread will be split in 2. Tablets and Smarthphones AND that it might also come with its own UI and not allow for carriers/manufacturers implementation of their own UI. Next to having every app scalable properly it looks like in a couple of months we`ll be competeing with iOS on every level possible (gaming too).

Guest twe Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Ginigerbread is 2.3 and is not only for tablets as the PSP phone has been seen with it on. I believe it will be a normal android phone and play original psp games. Psp2 is definitely another device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaysFreaky Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I remember reading that 2.3 (Gingerbread) is going with a graphic overhaul with some speed boosts. Google has said that Honeycomb is going to be the version that is meant to be applied to tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
