According to reports published today, Google will launch the First “Ice Cream Sandwich” Android 4.0 devices this October, somewhere alongside the iPhone 5. There’s not much known of the new version of Android except it will have a new and improved user interface. It will be a combined OS of Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” and android 3.0 “Honeycomb” that will run on smartphones and tablets instead of two separate operating systems.
BGR announced they have a source with knowledge of Google’s plans with Ice Cream Sandwich devices to launch in October but not sure as to whether it will be a smartphone or tablet.
BGR:
We’ve received some information from a source with knowledge of Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich plans, and it’s looking like the first Ice Cream Sandwich devices could start hitting the ground in as early as October. We have been told that Google is looking to push up the release of Ice Cream Sandwich devices as Apple’s iPhone 5 is expected in September or October, and the Mountain View-based company doesn’t want potential customers coming out of contracts (especially original DROID owners) and “drooling over the iPhone 5.”
