Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Whereas Eclair could be argued as having
basic, albeit important, features needed in a cheaper
smart phones, Froyo improved
on it with even more functions, new user features, developer features, API
changes and bug fixes. Froyo brought a polished, more responsive experience
with some serious under-the-hood improvements for users to enjoy, largely
thanks to the optimized code compiler that provides a 2x-5x performance boost
for CPU-heavy code.
The other major differences offered by Froyo
include the support for high DPI screens (320 dpi), such as 4" 720P, USB
tethering, WiFi hotspot, Adobe Flash 10.1 support, integration of Chrome v8 JS
Engine, general speed enhancements and performance optimization.
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) introduces many new
functions and applications for users to experience a richer, fuller multimedia
environment. New platform technologies and APIs for developers were provided to
make use of the high resolution large screens, improved processor speed and
memory to create a great gaming experience.
Other new features offered by Android 2.3
included a refined UI interface, improved keyboard, improved copy and paste,
support for WebM video playback, internet calling and NFC (Near Field
Communication). These features come in addition to the popular Android features
like multi-tasking and Wi-Fi hotspots, Adobe Flash 10.1, and support for extra
high DPI screens.
Android 2.3 also has firmly integrated some
application in to the platform like Google Mobile apps and a redesigned
YouTube. In a world of connectivity, internet calling is one particularly
attractive feature for users. Android 2.3 provides dedicated support for SIP
audio and video calling in addition to standard voice calling. Another
important aspect in the mobile operating system is the power management.
Gingerbread handles it in a better way, managing the applications and daemon
application which are running at the background and closing the unnecessary
applications that consume more power.
