Need to Know – Ice Cream Sandwich

Ice Cream Sandwich – Browsing, Gmail and Calendar

Android maintains its super-geek credentials with a data usage feature that charts your GB, warning you when you near your monthly limit and even cutting off mobile data if you're feeling skint. Gmail makes the most of the new resolution to bump up previews to two lines and offers offline searching of your mail. Calendars now have a smooth pinch-to-zoom action that lets you drill down to the minutae of your agenda. Browsing supports up to 16 tabs (there's confidence in Android's multi-tasking ability), with a live preview of each - and bookmarks now sync automatically with Chrome browsers on your desktop or elsewhere.
