New for Android™ 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Android 4.0 is the latest version of the Android platform for
phones, tablets, and more. It builds on the things people
love most about Android, and adds powerful new ways of
communicating and sharing.
To check for your tablet version and updates,
touch Apps > Settings > About tablet. If your
Android version isn’t 4.0, touch System updates to check
for updates.
Here are some Android 4.0 highlights:
• New look: Android 4.0 has a new look for the home
screen and apps, but the important icons and prompts
are still easy to find.
• Unlock screen: On the unlock screen, drag right to
just unlock, or left to unlock and open the camera.

screen still work the same, but you can flick right or left
to remove items from the Recent Apps and Notifications
lists. There’s more in “Navigate”.
• App and widget list: Touch Apps to open your app
and widget list. Flick right to see more apps (if you have
a lot), or flick left to see the widgets you can add to your
home screen. There’s more about your home screen in

up”.

your app list to create home screen shortcuts, and you
can combine shortcuts into folders. There’s more in
