Android 2.3 makes cameo in Google’s official Voice Search video from Hong Kong

Software

This one definitely snuck under the radar for quite some time. On November 23rd, Google Hong Kong posted a video showcasing its Google Voice Search capabilities on the Android and iOS platforms. While Voice Search itself is neither new nor notable, the Android device being showcased in the clip is. The hardware appears to be a standard Nexus One handset, the software running on said device appears to be Google’s next OS revision, Gingerbread (Android 2.3). In looking at some of the UI controls, as well as the status bar, we get a clear look at the direction Google’s stock-Android interface is heading. The new elements look very clean and, in our opinion, slightly more mature than the ones currently in use. What are you still reading this for? The video is waiting for you after the jump.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the video has been removed from YouTube.

    Android’s feature-set just keeps getting better and better.

    That fact along with the endless UI customization and speed make it unstoppable.

    Sweet! I really hope that the Motorola Olympus will ship with 2.3 and save me from the wait of it getting an update after launch.

      Jeezus. Learn the name of the OS. It’s Android, not ANDROID, not DROID, not DROID OS.

    Looks ok, but that’s just a slight imagery change. I’d be more interested in what’s changed under the hood.
