Google sets the dev channel of Chrome on Android open to the public via the Play Store. It is the one-navroegste test version of Chrome for Android and allows developers to test their sites on this future release of Chrome
The dev -. version at least once a week update. The dev-version can be downloaded from the Play Store. This version should not be confused with the beta version, which is already longer in the Play Store. Developer versions were already available for Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS. The Canary release, the earliest test version of Chrome is not yet available for Android.
Google warns on its Chromium blog that “life on the Dev channel sometimes wild can be ‘ . The dev version of Chrome for Android can also be installed alongside other Chrome versions. The version can be used by developers to check whether sites are compatible with future versions of Chrome. Also new features in future versions of Chrome can already be tested.
The eye provides the developer version little new functionality. What is new is the ability to block images on certain sites. Javascript and pop-ups were blocked for some time. The desktop version of Chrome has long been the possibility to block plug-ins; this functionality is not present in the test version of Chrome.
The new version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system may soon also run Android and iOS apps. With a relatively small modification developers to convert their software and make it suitable for Windows phones. For example, Microsoft hopes in one fell swoop refuting the main criticisms of Windows smartphones:. There were not enough interesting apps available
Microsoft made the news Wednesday announced their Build conference. There were more details of Windows 10 is shown. This will, according to the software maker within three years to run on 1 billion devices – tablets, phones and regular computers. For example, Microsoft is hoping to catch up on Android and iOS, the operating systems that now dominate the mobile phone. Microsoft is the undisputed leader in the PC, the mobile phone market is much larger.
The app gap
There is a Windows Phone version for smartphones (Microsoft acquired last year phone maker Nokia on which to make equipment itself). In terms of market share continues to Windows Phone (3%) far behind Android and iOS. Android and iOS each have around 1.3 million apps in their download stores, Windows employs over half a million apps, but not always up to date. If the “app gap poem, it is expected that will be more consumers are opting for Windows.
The languages of iOS and Android are translated into the Windows system. Android developers can upload their app to the Windows Store for iOS apps there is a translation program code with “a few minor adjustments” turnover for Windows 10 version.
Zdnet reports that these custom Android and iOS apps only run on ARM processors (because they also have been developed there). The translated apps do not work on ordinary Windows PCs with an Intel chip. It is Microsoft so primarily to fill the empty shelves in the mobile appwinkel. That makes the ephemeral existence of Windows RT (a version of Windows 8, only for ARM processors, was immediately after the introduction stopped again) a bit more understandable
Separately considers Microsoft Windows phones and small PCs.: couple a mouse, a keyboard and a large screen and you have a full-fledged computer, the software promises. Continuum for Phones, called that function.
The universal value of Satya
Under the leadership of the new CEO Satya Nadella Microsoft is undergoing rapid transformation. Windows is no longer a separate product that should make a lot of money, but a way of Microsoft’s other services, such as Office, to sell Skype and storage service OneDrive. Under Nadella’s regime, the price of Windows licenses fell again and make Microsoft software are suitable for all operating systems (like the Office version for Android and iOS). That open-mindedness now also goes the other apps from other operating systems are welcome in the Windows environment
Microsoft did not succeed on their own to seize power on the mobile phone.. This ‘universal’ Approach – Access for iOS and Android – is a concession, but it would be the revenge of Microsoft. Others view it as a desperate attempt to catch up to Apple and Google . BlackBerry also added Android compatibility to its operating system, but it had no effect on its popularity. Whether Microsoft’s approach pays off when we know there three years one billion devices running on Windows 10. Or not
Microsoft Windows 10 also replaces its old Web browser, Internet Explorer, a new variant. Edge. That version is much lighter (for the computer) and you can’m used to quickly create notes with. Edge can also run extensions of competing browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
For Windows 10 is released no definite release date. Microsoft had earlier about ‘the end of this summer, but it can also be the beginning of September. If you hurry, you can download a free trial version here.
Hololens
Microsoft demonstrated at Build also be weather virtual reality helmet Hololens at the Build conference, including an interactive anatomy lesson in 3D. Earlier we saw a NASA demo. The reactions to the new applications were enthusiastic; Hololens is the most exciting version of Windows to date, which adds a virtual layer to your real environment. The user can control the pixels with gestures and voice. Unlike other VR glasses there is no separate computer needed
For now Hololens is a (successful) lekkermakertje for the Windows 10 launch.; Microsoft still leaves nothing away about launch date or price.

News – The Android platform than defeats finally still the iPhone, at least if you’re a little play around with numbers. More money is earned with Android apss the apps from the Apple App Store, but it is fair to say that there is a snake sitting in the grass.
For the first time in history, more sales are derived from the sale of apps on Google’s Android platform than from Apple’s App Store. That said, at least the company Digi Capital. Now worldwide for many years more Android devices sold than iOS devices, but Apple always knew until now to generate more money to its users than to the Android Platform knew loose
But now it is different, but as with any comparison is the time also a bit limp. Because, as Business Insider points out rightly, in the figures of Digi Capital are also included sales from the Android platform in China. And let Google just now in China have no official Play store and not have their own apps. The money earned in China because Google sees no yuan.
Without China wins Apple’s platform still. Besides, also in sales for in-game purchases Apple is still far in the lead. So comparing Digi Capital seems like with like, but does indicate that Android in terms of sales on the rise.

No Nokia Android smartphones
A few days ago there were reports out suggesting that Nokia would return next year to the smartphone market. This time not with devices running on Windows Phone, but on Android. But that turns out not to be true, because Nokia reported on its website that it has no plans to produce and sell smartphones. The message stating that Nokia would divert research and development to China, be invalidated by the company
One of the reasons why Nokia will release no Android phones, the deal that has the Finnish company with Microsoft. Nokia may by this Agreement until the third quarter of 2016 no smartphones under its own name. What the company then plans is still unclear.
More about Nokia
