Google Android Gingerbread introduced many improvements to the operating system, both at the surface and under the hood. Major changes heart - compared to what will directly affect the user - centered around four main areas:
* More speed. Google promises gingerbread is "the best version of Android, however," thanks to its responsiveness and better power management.
* Improved battery life of Android. According to Google, gingerbread "takes a more active role" in the applications of police unnecessarily drain the phone battery. Gingerbread, the system will automatically close the application if it is to use too much power in the device while operating in the background.
* Better management of applications. In addition to the police system automatically introduces app Gingerbread prolonged application settings area, which makes it easy to view detailed information on each use of the battery app. The update "Manage Programs" tool, meanwhile, is essentially a high-Task Manager: It allows you to see your active programs, see what kinds of resources to each user and manually force-stop all program if there is something wrong.
* An updated user interface. Android UI gets a fresh gingerbread. And that brings us to our next question.
What will look different from the Android Gingerbread ?
* Updated the color of the world. Gingerbread has a "visual theme simplified", which includes the notification bar, menu and a darker black.
* A new keyboard. Android Gingerbread redesigned keyboard on the screen that is said to be faster and more intuitive. In addition to its updated form, the keyboard now supports multitouch input and a function "smart" automatic correction.

What new technologies in support of gingerbread?
* Near Field Communication (NFC). As first revealed by the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, last month, offers full support of gingerbread in the NFC. If the phone should have the chip (the Nexus S do) you will be able to use the device against the NFC special sensors for the exchange of information and even make credit card payments.
* Internet telephony. Gingerbread can be used to support SIP-based Internet phone calls. As with NFC capabilities, however, devices must support it - and you may end up a barrier for many of us, carriers must be signed out of it, too.
* Many of the sensors. Gingerbread Android can read a lot of new types of sensors, including gyroscopes, gravity sensors and barometers - yes, barometers. The measurement of air pressure, of course, it's the future of Android applications can do.
* Screen size extra-large. Programming tools Gingerbread provides support for devices with screens larger than normal - in other words, the tablets. While most of the optimization of Android tablet is expected to arrive with honeycomb is certainly a step in that direction.
