Android 4.0 Consistency
The more I see from Android 4.0, the more excited I get. I went through two articles today from Android Police which detail the differences between Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich versions of Gmail and Google Talk. The differences are dramatic even though the core stays the same. The consistency between the two, and refinement of contextual actions in the way of the split Action Bar, is such a huge improvement I can’t overstate it enough.
I would encourage you to look through both of these articles and notice the consistency improvements we can expect with Android 4.0. This is what I think Android needed more than anything and I’m very happy to see it happening.
