The story behind the dessert names Android versions is quite interesting. When working on a new Android version Google gives the new code a place of their own, called a branch. These were given a name, so they knew internally exactly which version they had, even though it was not yet decided which version would get a new version.
On Android 1.0 and 1.1 the names were not publicly known, but we talk about Astro and Bender for 1.0 and 1.1, but according to several Google Android Developers at the first moment. Knocking those names Anyway they started at the C - release, the third official major Android version named Cupcake. Several Google employees indicated in interviews that certain new features would be introduced in ' Cupcake ‘, and media acquisitions that name as the name of the next Android version . Eventually, users were also air and you could therefore in the Android Market (the forerunner of the Google Play Store) find no application review truer was not asked to the release of Cupcake for their device, even though the application developers here obviously not affect out could practice.
Eventually, Google began these names of delicacies actually be used as the names for a new release. With these names Google got two ways to indicate how significant a new update. The version number was to indicate whether it was to bring under the same name, as Eclair (Android 2.0 and 2.1) and Jellybean (Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3), relatively large or small updates and versions can now indicate that the updates are relatively small with respect to the previous version. When news of KitKat appeared on the website of Android, there was also that it is version 4.4. Therefore we expect that Google would still come. With Android 5.0 Basically this is of course not really matter: it's not about the number or the name of a new version, but the features that offers a new version.
However, it seems intuitively to be a relatively minor update, while enthusiasts still prefer to see a major update. On the other hand , we may well see , given that Android 1.6 ( Donut ) quite a decent update was compared to Android 1.5 ( Cupcake ) and the same applies to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread ) to Android quite some significant new opportunities 2.2 ( Froyo ) .
Rumors of Android 4.4
The Ausdroid website received a tip that the announcement of Android 4.4 (KitKat so, or maybe do Key Lime pie) would happen on 14 October. In addition, the site also received about what would be in this new version. Include new information this version would get some interesting changes, including a new gallery app, new opportunities for developers in the field of animation, new widgets in the notification screen updates for the Mira Cast capabilities to display on the screen of some wireless images televisions and monitors.
There can still be found on the list of Ausdroid. Two interesting features There they indicate that it comes to the blue color of the default Android theme can be changed, making your phone so you could give. Possible new color accents the other interesting novelty is that Android 4.4 might come for older Android Apparatus with lesser specifications available. Earlier we saw rumors that Android 4.3 would ensure that the minimum system requirements for Android would go down. Quite Now that Android 4.3 was indeed more efficient than its predecessors , but did not directly in front of a huge change in that area .
Now again a new version?
It is less than two months since Android 4.3 was announced and it seems now again on the next Android version is doing to. A new release seems especially unlikely: in 2011 and 2012 were announced in October Android versions, Android 4.0 and 4.2 respectively. In addition, a new version relatively soon after the announcement of another version not improbable that happened with Android 1.6 and 2.0.
Since this year gives Android certain manufacturers access to certain specifications of new Android versions, months before the launch of this new version. This ensures that companies can provide updates much faster. How this is done, you will find this article of us about how Sony deals with the new information. In addition to this extra information for other manufacturers is also Google itself quickly with the release of updates for its own Nexus devices : within one week after the announcement of Android 4.3 , there were updates for the Nexus devices available .
A new Android version on October 14, so it seems plausible. What new features we see and that the announcement comes on that date, remains to be seen.
