Ice Cream Sandwich to Arrive as Android 4.0

Mountain View-based Internet giant Google is hard at work with the release of a new flavor of their mobile operating system, Android, and it seems that they might put the 4.0 version next to it. 

There is no mystery that a new Android platform flavor is on its way to devices, as Google themselves mentioned that a few times before. 

However, the company referred so far to the next platform release as Ice Cream Sandwich, but did not offer info on the version number it might sport. 

While the said number won't affect the list of features and capabilities that the platform would feature, enthusiasts are still arguing whether the new OS release will be part of the 2.X branch, or it will come with a completely new version number attached to it. 

Apparently, the latter supposition is the one that might pan out, at least this is what the guys over at Droid-life suggest, citing web stats. 

According to their site analytics, devices running under Google's Android 4.0 operating system have started to access the web starting with September 16th, which is a clear indicator of the fact that this OS flavor should soon be released into the wild. 

The platform iteration should be none other than the Ice Cream Sandwich flavor that Google unveiled as being set to bring unity to the Android ecosystem. 

The new OS version should be loaded both on smartphones and tablet PCs, thus offering a unified experience across all devices based on Android, regardless the screen size. 

Google already announced developers that they should come up with applications that will offer support for both the small screen on handsets and for the larger displays that tablet PCs pack, suggesting that Ice Cream Sandwich is near. 

Rumor has it that the platform will be launched as soon as next month, and that it will arrive on a new Google phone, supposedly manufactured by Samsung and called Nexus Prime.
