A few details on Android 3.0 – Gingerbread – have finally started to trickle down. The new OS will supposedly arrive in October, followed by new handsets in November and December. Android 3.0 will only work on phones that have a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 3.5-inch screen size.
Here’s the basics:
* It will be released mid-October 2010. Just in time Black Friday and the holiday season rush.
* Minimum Hardware requirements: 1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, 3.5″ displays and higher. As of now, the majority of handsets do not fall whithin the minimum, allowing the new OS to focus on bigger systems, namely tablets.
* 1280×760 resolution available on screens 4″ or bigger.
* Overhauled user interface. UnwiredView.com compares it to the Gallery App on Android 2.2, just throughout the whole UI.
* Less reliance on third-party UI shells like HTC’s Sense or Motorola’s MotoBlur.

it is correct…
Where are the days when an OS was issued for a 33MHz processor, 640KB RAM and came on a couple of 3.5″ floppy disks?
