Info management. Included in ICS is an app that lets you modify network activity called Information Management. It’ll also allow you to view an app’s data usage and set caps to avoid going over your info budget.

New user interface. Another feature from Honeycomb that was kept and improved was the UI. ICS features a swish interface you can enjoy not only on your tablet, but on your smartphone also. The UI is further optimised with a multitasking icon that gets rid of the need for physical keys, permits you to view current applications and jump between programmes.

Android Beam. Android 4 tablets use NFC (near-field communication) technology to permit users to send different sorts of info (like programs, internet sites, videos, and maps, among other stuff) simply by drumming 2 4.0 phones together.
