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.

We're here live at Google I/O, and the folks from Mountain View have just shared something rather sweet -- a coalition of manufacturers and carriers committed to making sure their Android devices receive the very latest updates. All four major US carriers (and Vodafone) as well as HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola are on board, and all will guarantee you timely upgrades to the latest version of Android for eighteen months after release, provided the hardware's capable. Now that's change we can believe in.

Good news?
Also Honeycomb 3.1
http://www.gsmarena.com/events_roun...okia_and_microsoft_later_in_may-news-2629.php
great news. had this program been in place a year ago there wouldn't be so many bad attitudes in the vibrant forum -_-
What does "timely" mean? And does this represent a change from what they were previously doing? My impression is that most/all of these companies would say that they already roll out updates in a "timely" fashion, regardless of what we impatient users think, and that this is just a commitment not to stop doing that.
lol we'll see. i'll believe it when it happens, but my fingers are crossed cuz that'd be awesome!
don't hold your breath.
I think an actual number should be set in place like 3 months after initial release of the newest version of android? Im not sure if thats reasonable or not but the galaxy S series didnt even start getting 2.2 updates until 2.3 was released. Thats just plain wrong haha.
Google announcement bad news for G2X
This is typical Google BS - saying one thing and getting everyone ready for that, and then turning everything upside down with a different "plan".
2.4 was supposed to be a functional update for 2.3 the optimize it for dual core performance. If you search "android 2.4" - you will still see most links stating just that.
Now, from the above announcement link, it is supposed to be the end-all OS for all devices. Don't expect to see that any time soon now. The "original" 2.4 was supposed to be coming out soon, and I was looking forward to a port or possibly even an G2X/O2X update.
I am annoyed enough with Google that I suggest that take their "Ice Cream Sandwich" and stick it both up where the sun does not shine and where it will melt!
I want a duel core OS and I want it now, as per their earlier alleged plan - it was due out in April.
Bull****. We won't be seeing 2.3 anytime soon.

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!
According to latest rumors, Motorola is preparing new model currently known as X Phone. For the first time we should see edge-to-edge FullHD screen on smartphone. From designers perspective I took liberty to implement some elements that could be useful, but in same recognizable in Motorola line-up. Phone should run on latest stock Android OS.
Please view render in full resolution and read all details & descriptions:

I quite like it! But, I'm never certain how the technology will allow for detection of erroneous touches - seems like that's the biggest problem with edge-to-edge

Android M is coming soon for Google Nexus 5 and Nexus 6
LG Nexus 5 was released back in 2014 with Android Kitkat and upgraded to Android Lollipop in last year November. It also updated to Android 5.1.1 earlier this year. Motorola Nexus 6 was released in 2014 with inbuilt Android Lollipop and later upgraded to Android 5.1.1. Recently Google released two developer previews of Android M for Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices. Many users who have knowledge in flashing installed these previews and enjoying Android M earlier than others. Till now, only two minor bugs have been reported and Google fixed in them in the second developer preview of Android M.
Nexus 5 users already found that Android M OS increases the battery standby time. So it seems that Google made significant improvements in Android M over Lollipop. According to latest reports, Android M will be released under version 5.2. The code name of the forthcoming Android OS will be revealed in the launch expected in September. So that Nexus 5 users may receive Android M update in October. Nexus 6 users may get this update in October through Factory images. Over the Air (OTA) rollout may begin in October and it may spread throughout the world in November.
This time Google may release Android M update to Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices quickly. Previously Nexus 5 got the Android Lollipop update with some delay than expected dates because of the presence of over heating and battery drain bugs. It seems that Android M doesn't have such type of serious bugs, so that there may be no delays in the rollout.

Just as we've seen from past experiences, WhatsApp has once again, decided to end support for more Blackberry devices running on Blackberry 10 OS and Windows Phones running Windows 8.0 version and below. According to Blackberry Support Page and WhatsApp FAQ Page.

I don't know this thingy that WhatsApp has with Blackberry devices, but i think that WhatsApp has naturally grown into hating Blackberry devices.
The world's most popular messaging app has once again decided to do a routine check in it's list of devices and by doing so, they've decided to shutdown operation on more blackberry devices and this time that targeting the blackberry 10 devices, such as the Blackberry Q series and the Z series, and Windows Phones running on version 8.0.
Support for Windows 7.0, Android 2.1 and 2.2 Froyo, and iOS 6 were shut down last year 2016.
And these are the list of devices that wouldn't be supporting WhatsApp in the near future..
1. Nokia Symbian s60 will be ending support on June 30 2017.
2. Nokia Symbian s40 will be terminating their support on December 31 2018
3. While Android 2.3.7 and older versions will go on until February 1 2020.
So Blackberry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0 owners, get ready for the next big thing. I think this is a best time to consider upgrading to an Android device, at least an Android 5.0 Lollipop device wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
So guys, that is it for now, sorry to those who are currently being affected by this new development from WhatsApp.
Let us know what you think of this move from WhatsApp, is it a smart move or just something to frustrate Blackberry and its users as a whole?
Bye and have a nice day. and Merry Christmas to All of Us.
Sad to hear that.
I have blackberry Q10 and I am using whatsapp
