-Front-facing camera access: Gingerbread features an application that lets users access multiple cameras on a single device

-Improved copy-and-paste capabilities: Gingerbread lets users highlight individual words by press-holding them.  From there, they can copy and paste them to a clipboard.

-More power monitoring options: One of the complaints about smartphones is the fact that it can be difficult to remember to shut down applications you're running, which leads to rapidly reduced battery life.  Gingerbread's application settings let you know how much power and memory are being consumed by which specific applications on the device.  The system can also shut down idle applications that are keeping the device awake for longer than normal or are consuming excessive amounts of battery life.

-Application management: Users can also shut down applications manually by accessing the Manage Applications control in the Options Menu.  From there they can see all active applications and how much memory they're eating up and can shut them down individually.

-Enhanced game development features: Android game developers will be pleased to see that the Gingerbread software development kit (SDK) will feature upgraded video drivers and event distribution that Google says will enhance games with 3D graphics.
