Here are the changes gleaned from these images and noted by Android Police and RootzWiki’s sources:

  • The theme has become a pleasant light blue.
  • The menus have been tightened up in a major way.
  • Gmail has been completely rethemed.
  • The camera has built in panorama mode.
  • The Google search bar will be embedded at the top.
  • Most of the changes are to the user interface so older Android phones will be able to run it.
  • It will be available for the Nexus S.

That’s about all we know for now. Until the next leak….
