After announcing the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update, Google announced that the next version of Android will be known as Ice Cream Sandwich. As expected, it addresses the split between smartphone and tablet Android versions and brings all devices back under the umbrella of one OS.

All the features of Honeycomb will be available in Ice Cream Sandwich as well as a new head tracking feature that will, among other things, focus on the person speaking if there are two or more people in the frame.

Google revealed little else but promised that it will its “most ambitious launch to date.” It is targeting a Q4 2011 launch.
