Android 2.3 features many improvements over previous
versions, including enhanced copy/paste, simul-type
capability, and improved power management.
Copy/Paste
Just touch and hold a word in a text field or on a
webpage to enter free-selection mode. The word will be
highlighted in orange, and arrows will appear around it.
Simply drag the arrows to adjust the highlighted area
and then touch the selection to copy it.
Simul-Type
Quickly enter capital letters, numbers, and symbols
on the touch screen by touching "Shift+<letter>" and
"?123+<symbol>" without needing to manually switch
input modes. From certain keys, you can also access
a popup menu of accented characters, numbers, and
symbols by touching and holding the key and sliding
to select a character.
Power Management
Android 2.3 manages background applications that are
draining the battery and provides the user with more
information about power consumption. From the Home
screen, press the Menu Key
and touch Settings >
Applications > Battery use.
