Feature Highlights of Android Gingerbread

So, Gingerbread has been out for a while, and I wanted to go over the new features that are included in it and how you could get them on your Froyo device. First is the support for NFC (near-field-communication) chips. This allows users to receive "tags" that provide links to information such as places, websites, or apps. After that is the new keyboard, which I have tested out myself, check out Droid-Life for the download. The new keyboard  seems to have fatter keys and a better layout altogether, but isn't anything ahead of the Motorola multi-touch keyboard. In addition to that is the new copy and paste method which is a big improvement from 2.2, but not as good (in my opinion) as the IPhone cut/copy/paste. Also, Android icons have gotten a sleek revision having the notification bar and menu buttons black, and Android green going everywhere. If you want the 2.3 Gingerbread launcher, just search for it in the market. Besides added polish such as brown streaks when hitting a stop in scrolling, there really aren't that many more features added in Gingerbread except one more: voIP/SIP support. You now can make internet calls on your Android device. Hope you liked this overview of Gingerbread, and stay tuned for reviews when the OTA comes out to Droid devices (Droid 2 and hopefully the guy that started it all, Droid). Please save/share/bookmark/follow/comment, and I'll see you guys soon! Happy holidays! Oh and by the way guys, the official Android 2.3 video is below! Check it out!
