Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) widgets leak out ahead of Official Launch

We expect to be hearing plenty more about Ice Cream Sandwich before the day is out, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for some last-minute leaks. We’ve already seen a couple of updated apps slip out, and we now also have what appears to be our first look at Google’s refreshed widgets for the new OS. Those include both Gmail and Calendar, as well one for your non-Gmail email, all of which boast a similar appearance that’s been further streamlined from their Honeycomb counterparts. As Android Police notes, there’s curiously no labels in the Gmail widget, although we’d assume that’s just due to the particular messages being displayed (we hope so, at least). Hit the source link below for a look at the rest.

Leaked Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Audio Files [Preview And Download]

The ICS leaks are on the rise as we move near to the much anticipated launch of Android 4.

Now there has been a leak of Nexus Prime sound files which will be default for Android 4 most probably.
The new ICS alarm sounds are making quite a buzz around internet. AndroidPolice said

The alarm sounds are quite futuristic and magical, instantly reminding me of Tron. Considering Honeycomb already started in this direction and ICS’ theme is also Tron-like blue, I think we’ll be hearing and seeing a lot more audio and visuals in a similar style.

We, in particular, can’t say we like them a lot. Whats there to like in a 1-2 seconds of audio file.

As per P3Droid’s request, we’re not going to post the download link to Nexus_Audio.zip‎ and instead direct you to this MyDroidWorld post (registration required to download). Enjoy!
