Android Ice Cream Sandwich screenshots leak

[Larry-G]

Google and Samsung may have postponed Tuesday's dual announcement of the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android and the Galaxy Nexus, but it seems the two couldn't stop screenshots of Ice Cream Sandwich leaking out.

Look at it. It's a beauty. The functionality looks pretty familiar, but it's the graphics we can't get over. It's like they've put Tron in your phone.

TechCrunch obtained the shots. The "About phone" screen confirms it as Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, which a while ago Eric Schmidt revealed would be out in October or November. And the whole graphic UI has been given a futuristic makeover, with moodier shades in the background and bolder icons.

We can't wait to see it running on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus' 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich is said to combine the best of Honeycomb and Gingerbread, though exactly how it's going to manage that is a bit of a mystery. These screens, while looking very nice, don't offer much insight.

So it looks like we'll have to wait until the official unveil for all the details.

Samsung and Google postponed their Mobile Unpacked 2011 Google Episode conference, which was due to happen on Tuesday. They issued a joint statement that read: "It is just not the right time to announce a new product." A new date and venue will be announced soon.

The Galaxy Nexus is set to be a stormer, with a huge screen, 720p resolution screen, and 8-megapixel camera that can record in 1080p HD. We've no doubt it'll be worth the wait.

What do you think of Ice Cream Sandwich's looks? Let us know

lol for some unknown reason silverfox , stanman and punisher have all had this problem in the past with images i have coded into threads. the reason is unknown but maybe they have a popup killer installed and it's just nuking the image host, in the same way as i use adblock plus in firefox to nuke adds and images on most other forums.

any hoo i know they are there so at least i know i'm not going mad.

 

[Stanman]

I tried it in all three, FF 7.01, Opera and IE9 no show for all of them, but as I said, I did see them when you first posted
