1. Video chat
“Perhaps the highlight (we can confirm so far),” said Kennemer Quentyn a Phandroid.com, “will support video chat using the same protocols for video chat Google Talk”. Now, Google may try to convince hardware manufacturers and smartphones to put a camera on the front of the terminals.
2. Stream music from your home computer
Users will be able to stream music from your home computer for their hardware, as said Marin Perez a IntoMobile.com.

Google gave a sneak peak this feature in May.

8. WebM
And ‘provided that Google includes a container of open source video formats WebMate in Gingerbread. Google boughtOn2 Technologies all'inizio of 2010 and with it obtained the VP8 video compression format open and open source.
