The freshly baked release -- officially known as Android 2.3 -- will start making its way into users' hands within a matter of days.





What are the biggest new features in Android Gingerbread?

Google's Android Gingerbread introduces a slew of improvements to the operating system, both on the surface and under the hood. The most significant core changes -- in terms of what will directly affect users -- revolve around four main areas:



Faster speed. Google promises Gingerbread is its "fastest version of Android yet," thanks to its improved responsiveness and power management.

Better Android battery life. According to Google, Gingerbread "takes a more active role" in policing apps that unnecessarily drain your phone's battery. With Gingerbread, the system will automatically kill an application if it's using too much of your device's power while running in the background.

Better application management. In addition to the automated app policing system, Gingerbread introduces an expanded app settings area that lets you easily see detailed information about each app's battery usage. The updated "Manage Applications" tool, meanwhile, is basically a built-in task manager: It lets you review all of your active applications, see what types of resources each one is utilizing, and manually force-stop any program if something is wrong



and many more...
