Marguerite Reardon answers questions about the Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" release. "The real purpose of Ice Cream Sandwich is to become the unifying version of Android for all mobile products that use the operating system. Though Honeycomb was designed for tablets, Ice Cream Sandwich will be a cross-platform OS. It will be the one OS that runs everywhere. This means it will allow developers to create apps once and then those apps will be able to operate on different devices with different screen sizes and different capabilities. The OS will essentially be smart enough to figure out which type of device the app is running on and then adjust parameters."
