The Android Community website has posted some new live images and videos of the latest version of the Android operating system. Android seems to change it’s user interface drastically from build to build, but this one finally has something impressive to show, albeit potentially not very useful in real life.
This device supports an internal compass that you can use with Google’s Street View on maps. Pointing the device in a different direction will rotate the street view map photos accordingly and show you the chosen location’s image perspective from your actual perspective.
The customizable desktop home screens are pretty nice as well.
Also, if you were a teenager in 1980, you’ll be happy to see that Pac-man runs on Android.
