The first images and details surrounding Google’s next major Android release have seemingly been revealed. Mobile site RootzWiki claims to have received images and details from a source with an early build of Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich,” and it has published two images of the OS running on a Nexus S. The site says this Ice Cream Sandwich build is “still very early in the works and not 100% functional,” and it speculates that the OS will not be released in the near future as a result. Among the features reportedly found in Android 4.0 are a new blue theme in place of Gingerbread’s green theme, a camera with an integrated panorama feature and various Honeycomb-like UI details. The site’s source says that Ice Cream Sandwich will be made available for the Nexus S following its release, but the Nexus Prime will be the first device to launch with the new OS, just as BGR exclusively reported in June.

Thanks, Steven

    Android OS is about functionality and not just plain old looks.  Most Android users want more then just a pretty picture as their phone. Pretty gets old fast but not functionality.   Word!

    If it was Ice Cream Sandwich, it would be Android version 2.4 NOT 4.0. Think about it, eclair was 2.1, froyo was 2.2, gingerbread was 2.3.

    FYI, early builds of Honeycomb looked exactly like Froyo/Gingerbread before the “final” UI was added later. I have a sneaking suspicion that the developer builds Google is seeding do not have the final UI yet (either that, or OEMS are working on their own skins/UIs.) Suffice it to say that I don’t expect Ice Cream Sandwich to look like this…at least not on devices designed for ICS.

    The signal indicator looks like it was taken straight from Symbian!

    So now we have a new OS “number” that looks, does and acts the same as the previous 35 OS releases.  Only this time you need a quad-core processor to run it and a 12V car battery glued to it.
    That’s great.
