Thumb look at Android4.0——Ice Cream Sandwich(1)

Today, Google release the android for version 4.0 - ice cream sandwich.At the first time, our team go to Android Developer for understand the new api and new features.
1.Social APIs in Contacts Provider.
      The new feature maybe tell us google want to build a social for those people have a android phone. Besides the social api can take an idea that you can use the android phone to replace paper profile card. In the new apis, the usage feedback allow you to collect user's habit.
2.Calendar Provider.
      The new improve the old version calendar with new Apis, such as read, add, modify and delete calendars, events, attendees, reminders and alerts.

4.Multimedia.(.....dislike)
5.Camera
In new camera apis, the most excite feature is detecting face that can indicate where the eyes and mouth are located,and track multiple faces.This may be have some usage for my new idea.
Note: Face detection may not be supported on some devices, so you should check by calling getMaxNumDetectedFaces() and ensure the return value is greater than zero. Also, some devices may not support identification of eyes and mouth, in which case, those fields in the Camera.Face object will be null.
6.Android Beam (NDEF Push with NFC)

see you next time..
