Android ‘Cupcake’ demo shows browser zoom box, new desktop shortcuts, more
A recent video demo of Android’s latest “Cupcake” release shows off some interesting new features. It’s a 12+ minute thrill ride where you’ll see the following:
- “Live Folders” shortcuts on the desktop
- Zoom box in web browser for full page zooming
- Camera previews are now in black and white, which apparently makes the camera more responsive
- Video recording still isn’t working too well
- “Global Time” features a spinning globe so you can see that time it is all over the world
- Soft keyboard and notepad application
- The video camera tips over at around 6 minutes and 20 seconds
- Customizable window animation settings and transitions
- AT&T shows up in the list of available network operators
