"Merely a day after Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus was gifted with v4.0.2, Google itself is announcing Android 4.0.3, a so-called \" incremental release of the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) platform.\" We're told that the new release includes a variety of optimizations and bug fixes for phones and tablets, as well as a small number of new APIs for developers. For those curious, the new API level is 15, and some of those new ones include social stream API in Contacts provider, Calendar provider enhancements, newfangled camera capabilities (apps can now check and manage video stabilization and use QVGA resolution profiles where needed) and accessibility refinements (improved content access for screen readers and new status and error reporting for text-to-speech engines). Moreover, we're promised minute improvements in \"graphics, database, spell-checking, Bluetooth, and more.\" Finally, the company makes clear that going forward, it'll be \"focusing its partners on Android 4.0.3 as the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich,\" with rollouts expected for both phones and tablets in \"the weeks ahead.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
