Google Launching Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ Tonight w/ Samsung
The new Google Android operating system, dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich, will be unveiled at a joint event with Samsung Electronics Co. in Hong Kong today. Google Inc. today will also unveil the first device running the new version of its Android software, stepping up competition with Apple Inc. and seeking to win over developers by making it easier to write programs that run on both phones and tablets.
The event livestream can be viewed at YouTube.com/Android at 10 p.m. EST on October 18.
An Oct. 14 press invitation to the Hong Kong event sent by Google and Samsung included a graphic showing a brown Android mascot being sandwiched by layers of white ice cream. The death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs prompted a product introduction event scheduled for Oct. 11 in San Diego to be delayed, Kim Titus, a spokesman for Samsung, said on Oct. 7.
