安卓發佈新版本4.0：冰激凌三明治
Google has taken the stage in Hong Kong to make the next version of Android OS, nicknamed Ice Cream Sandwich, a thing of reality. Better known as Android 4.0, the update offers a massive redesign to the user interface and adds a plethora of new features. Some of the highlights include an NFC-enabled feature called Android Beam, offline search in Gmail, new lock screen features and a fancy unlocking method called "Face Unlock," which uses facial recognition to ensure strangers can't use your phone without permission. Ice Cream Sandwich also includes enhancements in almost every native app within Android itself. The SDK is already available for Android 4.0, and the update itself will make its first public appearance on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, also unveiled tonight.
谷歌今天在香港發佈了自己的新版本操作系統，代號爲冰激凌三明治。這個新版本另一個更爲人所知的名字叫做安卓4.0，這一次更新提供了大量重新設計過的界面以及更多的新功能。這些功能當中包括被着重強調的NFC近場交換技術，它使安卓有了一個新功能叫做Androit Beam，同時還增添了離線郵件搜索，新的鎖屏功能以及一個非常有吸引力的面部識別解鎖功能，這個功能使用面部識別來使陌生人無法在你不允許的情況下使用你的電話。冰激凌三明治也增強了幾乎所有安卓自帶的軟件。開發者工具包已經可以開發針對安卓4.0的軟件了，這個系統更新本身將會率先在三星的Galaxy Nexus中使用，這款新電話將會在今晚發佈。
