In either case, Android 2.4 reportedly brings a noticeable speed increase over Android 2.3, including no delays when switching between windows and apps. There are also new animations when moving shortcuts and widgets around the homescreen, a software-based noise reduction option for voice calls, and references to video chat in the menus.
This news further begs the question about whether we're in the process of seeing a split occurring. Will Google try to have companies use Android 2.x for smartphones and Android 3.x for tablets or will we see everyone get pushed to Android 3.x eventually?
