Android Infiltration: Gingerbread Rollout Tracking App [app]

I created the app Android Infiltration to help you (and everyone) keep track of where Gingerbread and future updates have shown up so far.
When Froyo was released back in May 2010, the forums on every Android related site began filling up with speculation and rumor about when the release was coming to additional devices. Even when the device specific release dates were announced over the following months, forums and comments were overflowing with "Does anyone have Froyo yet?" or "I don't have it, but someone I work with does" posts. The goal of this app is to help alleviate some of the mystery.

Samsung Nexus Prime Support Page Surfaces; Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich Smartpho

We have been hearing a lot about Samsung’s upcoming smartphone called the Nexus Prime. The handset, said to come powered by Google’s latest OS Android 4.0, is again in the news as part of the run up to a roll out date. If you remember, we had sometime ago spotted the device carrying the model number GT-I9250 with a Wi-Fi certification. The latest is that a support page for the GTI9250 has come up on the Samsung website. The funny part is that the page is almost blank. Also, a leak has brought to the fore a few specs of the phone.
If you head for the page here, you will be able to see tabs that have Downloads, FAQs, How-to Guides, and Troubleshooting features. In case you are looking for some details on the phone, let us tell you there’s nothing about the device on the page you are looking at.
Leaked specs of the phone have revealed a 4.65-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The device would come with a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 5-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording.
We just hope the Super AMOLED technology will be integrated with the display as Samsung has been offering that in their latest devices. The 8.8mm thin handset enclosed in a metal chassis is likely to come with the curved display – something akin to what its predecessor, the Nexus S, had come with.
It is believed that Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS will be rolled out in October. Chances are that the Nexus Prime would come powered by the new version of the OS.
In addition, the rumored specs and the latest blank page of the smartphone hint that we can expect a soon release of the Nexus Prime during the same month.

Really looking forward to seeing this phone and what new features ICS brings to the smartphone table!

Android KitKat ​
Google has just announced that the next version of Android will be called KitKat and not Key Lime Pie, as rumoured earlier. Also, the next Android version number is 4.4 not 5.0, indicating that KitKat is not going to be a huge jump but a smaller upgrade.
​
The search giant has also placed the KitKat Android version statue along with previous versions in the Mountain View. Android boss Sundar Pichai posted a photo of the same on his Twitter account today.
In this tweet and on his Google+ account, Pichai revealed that Android has now crossed 1 billion device activations. This is up from 900 million activations figure shared at Google I/O 2013 earlier this year.
“… All this Android innovation is driving tremendous ecosystem momentum and I’m excited to share that together we’ve now passed 1 Billion Android device activations. Huge thanks to the entire Android community from the hardware manufacturers, chip makers and carriers to the developers and content creators to all of you – our Android users around the world – for making this possible,” Sundar wrote on Google+.
Android KitKat
Let see how Sony give update to Android 4.4 KitKat

I don't think getting our mobile officially this version...

I thought Google would release 5.0 but they troll me xD I hope Sony will give the list of device's that are updating to 4.4 and hope there will be XL.

Stop dreaming guys.We're lucky if will get android 4.3 official.And since the development doesn't seems too bright,I'm considering selling my XL...I'll just wait for a little longer to see what's going on.Peace!
And about 5.0 troll,Android might run out of ideas...hope next version won't be 4.5,etc ...

This dream is a beautiful thing . I believe that it will get Android 4.3 and 4.4 on our Xperia L.
