Gingerbread shows itself in official video (update: And the video's back up)

Everything is in sexy green and black, loving that theme. Still sorta sad it was a Nexus one and not a Nexus S in the video, we would have had 10 more minutes of Nexus S talk on the podcast lol...

And the builds should have little tweaks here and there that will speed things up. As well as add new features that the wireless companies are sure to cripple and charge for. That was why the Nexus 1 is so great.

If they added hardware acceleration as part of Gingerbread, it is worth it just for that one thing! I'm hoping LauncherPro is already updating their app to handle Gingerbread because I have come to rely on many of LP's features, including the widgets and being able to change # rows and # columns on my screens! Or it would ROCK if Google copied them and added this functionality/flexibility with Gingerbread or the next update...

Underwhelming UI tweaks. I wouldn't want to be forced to leave Sense (Droid Incredible) to get that version of Gingerbread.

So what the heck is in this thing if it's not a significantly changed UI? I all of a sudden don't care a whole lot about Gingerbread, and if Honeycomb is all about the tablet, then I don't really care about that either.

I for one don't think Android is hard to use or *needs* a UI overhaul, but that seems to be the consensus. It takes a few minutes to show someone the difference between an app and a widget, and where they are located...and you're done.

Just watched it. Its still live here for now. Fyi. I love chrome to phone!

Gingerbread is going to be in cantonese? Damnit, I better start working on that right now to help with the learning curve.

I didnt watch the video, so i missed out on the GINGERBREADness. But would it be possible for someone to fake this through a rom of some sort...??

funny how they take it down after a few hours

Taken down...

sigh....i so regret learning mandarin instead of cantonese right now.

And the reason this can't be skinned/themed Froyo is.............

I dont know about you guys, but I couldnt understand a word he was saying? :)

Does anyone else hate how when you use the search box it always shows google search results first. I really miss the just type feature on my old Palm Pre. Google search results were the last thing it would show, showing contacts and apps first.

So gingerbread=a couple new icons? Hohum

Gingerbread is so ugly.

It looks like it has the "3d" app drawer as well.

It's gingerbread because the new gmail icon in the notification bar and look at all the green system information icons. And the phone and web icons look new. I guess it's good to be green.

So far I am not overly impressed with the way the Gingerbread homescreen looks. I'm not a fan of the squared-off corners. I like the new notification bar. Other than that, Froyo looks better in my opinion.

I do hope Gingerbread brings in a lot more speed to the phone. Since Froyo, my Nexus One seems a bit slower than it used to with Live Wallpapers turned on.

So Gingerbread is in Chinese. We were warned this would happen someday.

Looks like there may be some hardware acceleration.

Quick someone use Google Translate app to translate the audio and then use Google goggles app on the text LOL. See what the new features are.

What phone was that

That YouTube account moderates comments, so good luck even mentioning Gingerbread on the video itself.

What?

Something new: App in the market has three tabs, About, Comments and Related.

Looks tasty.

Now they're just teasing us.

Who else wants to say 'Hello Computer?' when they talk to their phone?

Only been at this Android thing a week and already I'm chomping at the bit for Gingerbread.

Looks indistinguishable from stock Froyo if you ask me.
