Google unveiled Android Version 2.3, also known as Gingerbread, on Monday along with the first phone running the new OS: the Nexus S, a co-development project between Google and Samsung. The new version is optimized for game developers, allowing smoother animation and increased responsiveness and better input handling needed by high-speed mobile games. Google also introduced support for so-called touch filtering which prevents UI elements that control sensitive functionality from being enabled at the same time as they are obscured by other UI elements.
