New look for the Android 1.5 UI
After announcing the early-look Android 1.5 SDK on Monday, the Android Dev Team has now unveiled some UI framework changes that come with the new version of Google’s open source mobile platform.
Android designers spent a lot of time to “refine and polish” the appearance of the OS.
