Android 4.0 (Code Name: Ice Cream Sandwich) is a major platform release of Android Operating System that adds a variety of new features for users and app developers. Other then all the new features and APIs, Android 4.0 is an important platform release because it brings the extensive set of APIs and Holographic themes from Android 3.x to smaller screens.

If you are an app developer, you now have a single platform and unified API framework that enables you to develop and publish your application with a single APK that provides an optimized user experience for handsets, tablets, and more, when running the same version of Android - Android 4.0 (API level 14) or greater.

The Android 4.0 platform is now available for download as a component for the Android SDK so you can begin developing and testing your applications on Android 4.0 with the Android emulator. The downloadable platform includes an Android library and system image, as well as a set of emulator skins and more. The downloadable platform does not include any external libraries.

The system image included in the downloadable SDK platform provides 57 built-in locales.
