One of the main - and better - the new Ice Cream Sandwich is the redesigned interface, named Holo. This time, Google has imposed a condition to manufacturers who adopt the Android Market on their devices: the standard Android interface should be available for handsets that have Android and Android Market 4.
But, wait: the pure Android interface is only available for development issues. Currently, there is an interface standard for Android applications. From now on, the developer may make application to the Holo interface, and can develop a specific version customized versions from the manufacturers.
Unfortunately, this does not mean you can enjoy the pure Google experience on your smartphone.
This, of course, make life easier for developers: with a pattern to follow, it becomes easier to create an application with a user experience as a reference. Ideally, it would be that type interfaces Motoblur, Timescape TouchWiz or cede their seats to the Holo.
The director of the Android experience, Matias Duarte, said he did not bother with costumization made by manufacturers on their devices. A pity.
The Ice Cream Sandwich also has an exclusive source developed for the platform, Roboto.
