Nagyjából ebben a pillanatban élesedett a hivatalos Google Mobile Blogon a hivatalos Gingerbread – Nexus S bejelentés.
A lényeg: a Gingerbread hivatalos kiadásával egyidejűleg mostantól elérhető a Gingerbread SDK/NDK.
A Google és a Samsung közös, Gingerbread-re optimalizált gyermeke a Nexus S telefon: 1 GHz Hummingbird processzor, 16GB belső memória, NFC chip, 4″ Contour kijelző, amivel az eszköz kézbe, archoz is ergonomikusabban simul.
Az új oprendszer változat új, továbbfejlesztett szövegbeviteli és -kijelőlési megoldást, natív VoIP támogatást, valamint továbbfejlesztett copy-paste és giroszkóp megoldást kapott.
Ezzel egyidejűleg frissült a Google hivatalos Nexus oldala, és az elkövetkezendő hetekben megtörténik a Gingerbread forráskódjának publikálása is.
A Tovább után 2 videó, illetve a teljes hivatalos sajtóközlemény olvasható.
Introducing Nexus S with Gingerbread
Monday, December 6, 2010 | 8:04 AMThe very first Android phone hit the market in November 2008. Just over two years later, Android’s vision of openness has spurred the development of more than 100 different Android devices. Today, more than 200,000 Android devices are activated daily worldwide. The volume and variety of Android devices continues to surpass our wildest expectations—but we’re not slowing down.
Today, we’re pleased to introduce the latest version of the Android platform, Gingerbread, and unveil the next Android device from the Nexus line of mobile products—Nexus S. And for developers, the Gingerbread SDK/NDK is now available as well.
Nexus S is the lead device for the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 release; it’s the first Android device to ship with the new version of the Android platform. We co-developed this product with Samsung—ensuring tight integration of hardware and software to highlight the latest advancements of the Android platform. As part of the Nexus brand, Nexus S delivers what we call a “pure Google” experience: unlocked, unfiltered access to the best Google mobile services and the latest and greatest Android releases and updates.
Take a look at our backstory video for more on the vision behind this product and to understand why we think “a thousand heads are better than one”:
Nexus S is the first smartphone to feature a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from NFC tags. NFC is a fast, versatile short-range wireless technology that can be embedded in all kinds of everyday objects like movie posters, stickers and t-shirts.
Gingerbread is the fastest version of Android yet, and it delivers a number of improvements, such as user interface refinements, NFC support, a new keyboard and text selection tool, Internet (VoIP/SIP) calling, improved copy/paste functionality and gyroscope sensor support.
Here’s a glimpse of the “magic” of Google on Nexus S:
You can find more Nexus S videos and information at google.com/nexus or follow @GoogleNexus on Twitter for the latest updates. After December 16, Nexus S can be purchased (unlocked or with a T-Mobile service plan) online and in-store from all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores in the U.S. and after December 20 at Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy retailers in the U.K.
We’ll be open-sourcing Gingerbread in the coming weeks and look forward to new contributions from the Android ecosystem in the months ahead.
