Key Lime Pie
In June 2012 it was announced Android 4.1 named Jelly Bean. This name was also given to the following two versions of Android, 4.2 and 4.3. These versions were compared to Android 4.1 only relatively minor updates. Of course Android are maturing and will next versions of Android are probably less radical than the transition from say Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
The next version of Android gets codenamed Key Lime Pie, as are the other versions of Android a dessert or snack. The bugtracker of Chrome for Android, where problems are reported, the browser is to read someone Android build KRS36B at Nexus Nexus 4 and 7 runs. In one of the reactions From this build number, we can get a lot of information. For example, the ‘K’ for the Android version. In this case, the Key Lime Pie, or another dessert that starts with a ‘k’, Google could still change their minds. The ‘S’ stands for the quarter in which a particular build is made, in this case the third quarter of 2013. The number 36 stands for the 36th day in the quarter. This means that this version of 5 August, so yesterday.
What can we expect from Key Lime Pie?
There is in fact nothing is known about Key Lime Pie, so we will keep this short piece. It seems likely that Key Lime Pie less than exterior changes will bring Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) did two years ago. Possible will be the so-called card-layout that we know of Google Now, since Google has made in its own applications (and even websites).
This looks more and more there is an increasing useWe also know that more and more functionality in Google Android disconnecting the system, allowing users to become less dependent on system updates. Developers can through Google services and Google Play Play games all use new Google features services on devices with Android 2.2 and above. In the past, adding these features mean that developers could use devices that had received. Updated to the new Android version that features only This sometimes takes more than one year or not at all happens for certain devices. Also, new features by developers to use via the so-called support package, a package that new (software) contains features that developers can then use in their apps even if those apps run on older Android versions.
It is possible that Google continues to pull this. It has been suggested that it would be years if Google would provide that manufacturers could place. Loose a graphical shell a standard Android system to good Now the GUI from manufacturers like Sony, Samsung and HTC are made by also adapt the system. This ensures that it often takes a long time before updates come out.
About the version number of Key Lime Pie we still know nothing. According to Google developers, this version number is often only thought at the last minute. It is generally assumed that Key Lime Pie Android 5.0 will be, but a version as Android 4.5 is just as obvious. That the test build which build number today came out under the ‘k’ branch falls, actually says nothing. It could just as well that are in this (probably very early) trial no new features.
Announcement
yet, looking coffee when you want to predict when the next major Android version is announced. similar to the functions of Key Lime Pie, expected An announcement in the autumn (October or November) can certainly not be ruled out: in recent years came in the autumn becoming a new Android version. It is also possible that the next major version of Android is delayed longer, because Android is more stable and mature.
