Waiting for ICS

 

As the ICS update for my phone is available, I am eagerly waiting to connect my phone to a good speed internet connection. Instead, Currently Gingerbread is the most popular android version. Still more than 60% of the people use Gingerbread.

ICS  comes with some added features :

• Smart Lockscreen - Now we can interact with messages & recent events, play & manage tracks without even unlocking the phone.
• Face Recognition - Now we can unlock the phone using the face recognition. But for this your phone must have a front facing camera. Unfortunately, my phone lacks it so I won't be able to use this feature. :(

• Modified Dialer - When you start typing your friends’ numbers, your phonebook will automatically start finding them for you.

 

• Quick response for incoming calls - When you are busy you can reject calls with a text messege & let the people know what are you doing.
