Android Updates Will Come Only Once A Year!
In an interview with Mercury News Andy Rubin (Google’s VP of Engineering), acknowledged that the current speed at which Android OS development is going is not sustainable in the long term and that they will have to cut down to only one update a year so that “things start settling down.”
Rubin explained in the interview that the speed at which updates came out was very high because they wanted to get the “product up to market spec.”
This should be great news for both OEM’s and developers.
Qualcomm’s New Dual Core Snapdragon Chipset!
Qualcomm is the company known for its amazing Snapdragon-based processors that are powering many of our more high end devices. They have just announced their first dual core Snapdragon processors. The new models are the MSM8260 and the MSM8660 which feature two cores that can run up to 1.2Ghz per core, WOW. Phones are getting more powerful then ever, and I still remember my first pc, it was like 333Mhz . Processors seem to get better and better but batteries haven’t seen a great improvement over the years, I wonder how long phones will last with the new dual core processors.
WeTab – Android Tablet
This is a tablet device I spotted a month or so back and with the iPad taking the news with its UK release happening a couple of days ago, I thought it might be a good time to put some details up about it.
It was originally named the WePad, but recently has changed to the WeTab.
Lets take a look at some of the specs of the top end WeTab 3G -
- 11.6″ 1366×768 screen
- Full 1080p through HDMI output
- 1.66ghz Atom CPU
- 32GB internal memory
- Java & Flash capable
- BlueTooth, WiFi, GPS
It’s being produced in Germany but wont be available until August at this point. The 3G version will be availabel for €569, with a cheaper WiFi only version available for €449. This is limited to 16GB, no GPS or HDMI output.
Although it’s said to run the Android operation system, there’s been no mention as to what version it will be. We know it will support Flash, does that mean it’s based on 2.2 or will it be a special tablet version of Android?
Have a look on YouTube and you’ll find plenty of video’s of it in action. Head over to their website to register your interest!
FroYo Available now is just a Release Candidate
We reported a few days back that FroYo was apon us. This turns out to be only half true, while it is FroYo, it’s not the official release. It has been confirmed we’re playing around with a Release Candidate which may well be changed before the official 2.2 OS is launched.

FroYo is here!
So I get home after a long day, work and then driving up to and back from Leicester, I’m getting in to bed after midnight as I’m back at work in the morning… What!?!?!?! FroYo’s out!?!?!?!
So, not much sleep for me last night. After only 2 days ago we reported on the proximity of a Android 2.2 release, it’s here already. Google had said it would be in the next couple of weeks, next couple of days would have been more accurate!
