At its Google I/O event , Google let loose the next version of Android ie Ice Cream Sandwich. What is so special about it ? Well for one it makes the entire code base cross platform. What this means is that the same OS will run on your tablet , smartphone and even the desktop. The only change will be the UI. So what do we have here ?
It looks like Honeycomb can already change its UI depending on pixel density. As screen size increases , the pixel density decreases and this is where the usual Honeycomb UI is used. However if the screen has a pixel density greater than 170 , it automatically shifts to the Gingerbread UI as this is the range of densities found only in smartphones. It is possible to replicate the effect by artificially changing the density of your screen by using a root only app. Click through to the source for more instructions.

Confession time: some games are so adorable I just can't resist them. Storm in a Teacup [99�] is one of those games � I saw the screenshots and I knew it had to be mine. Based on the reaction in our forums, I'm not alone. Luckily the game largely lives up to its first impressions. 
Storm in a Teacup includes 40 main levels. Playing through the whole game took me about three hours, though the fastest completion time recorded so far is 40 minutes. There are also five survival levels that can be unlocked throughout the course of the game. Between those and the challenge of perfect playthroughs, there's lots to replay. The difficulty curve also works well. You're faced with simple levels while you learn the controls, but by the midway point things get challenging. There were a couple frustrating moments when I really wanted to skip a level, but every level can be completed with enough care.We all love Android for its flexibility and�customization. But even the most ardent fan will agree that the music player on the Android is in need of a major revamp. Enter ,�Fede , the developer responsible for Launcher Pro which is the most popular third party launcher on the Android Marketplace. Fede's Music Player is a complete port of the Windows Phone 7 music player UI to Android. Even at its current Alpha level of development everything just works. The UI is identical to Zune player on WP7 and animations are fluid.
Coupled with alternative application launchers like Launcher 7 , you can skin your phone to look almost like Windows Phone 7 while maintaining the underlying flexibility.

Verizon Wireless is one of the largest mobile phone networks in USA and at the moment, they are offering number of amazing Android devices. Verizon introduced their first ever Android device in October 2009, and the name of the device is Motorola Droid. It's the first ever CDMA Android phone, and it really changed the way people think about Android. Last year, Motorola launched the successor to Droid which is known as Droid 2, which is also an amazing device and comes with some amazing features but with time, everything gets old. Droid 2 was launched in August, and Verizon refreshes their Droid series every year. We recently showed you shots and�details related to Droid 3, and the successor looks really promising.
Our friends over at�TechnoBuffalo got some more details related to Droid 3 from their reliable source. They are saying that it's possible that the device comes with either Tegra 2 processor or TI OMAP4430 dual-core processor; it's not confirmed yet so let's wait for some official words. It has an 8 MP camera and it's possible that it comes with a front facing camera too, as we can see that in the image above. There is also a HDMI output, so you can watch your�favorite�videos right on your HDMI-enabled�TV. Droid 3 for sure packs some good features but their tipster is saying that the phone is missing LTE capability. We also�showed you that it comes with a 5-row QWERTY keyboard. As Verizon is promoting their new technology a lot, and almost all new Verizon smartphones has this power. I personally doubt it because Droid series is Verizon's most popular series, so I am looking forward to Motorola and Verizon to confirm it. It's rumored that this device will be out next month, so grab your popcorns and start waiting for the�next Droid.
So anyone ditching their current device for Droid 3?
