Upon entry of Andy Rubin, creator of the system, on the stage, the tone is set. As Andy said: "Customers like Android, but do not like it" . For Google, the aim of this new version is to change the minds of users, but also to add simplicity and intuitiveness. For that Andy leaves us a little slogan: "Enchant me, Simplify my life Give me great" .

To do this, Ice Cream Sandwich features a new design with the arrival of a new typeface, designed to be readable on high-density screens.

Another novelty is the removal of physical buttons . The buttons are integrated directly on the screen that hides while using the full screen for videos or games, for example, which are moving with the unit. The action bar can also be integrated into the Google apps like Gmail, G+, ...
