Android Ice Cream Sandwich for tablets demonstrated on video We all know that Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich was designed to bring the tablet and smartphone versions of Android together under one roof. But at the launch of the operating system yesterday, it was only demonstrated on a smartphone, and not a single mention of it running on a tablet. Well the folks over at endgadget downloaded the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK and ran the emulator to test out the operating system on tablet dimensions.

And according to them, it looks like the experience will be identical to what it will be like on the Nexus Galaxy smartphone. I guess Google made good on its promise to put an end to the fragmentation issue that Honeycomb introduced to Android. The emulator performed pretty choppily in the video demonstration shot, but it should give you a good enough idea of what it’s going to be like. Check it out for yourself:

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Google: Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.
