Most mobile
manufacturers haven't even started to send out updates to Android 4.0
Ice Cream Sandwich, and we reached the news that Google may come with
Android 5.0, Jellybean, this summer.
Now you should probably take
the rumors with a grain of salt, since they seem to come from sources
within the manufacturing industry. There seems to be plenty of leaks
that claim to know everything about everything. But even if Android 5.0
is not presented in June, there are some interesting details.
One
of the changes in Android 5.0, which will be known as Jellybean, is
that Google integrated its operating system, Chrome OS as dual-boot.
This feature will be available for surf boards and laptops.
For
users this means you can choose to boot with either Android or Chrome
OS. In time, Google will probably try to merge the two systems to make
one, ultimate, versatile, and unique OS.
Chrome OS has not got
any major success, despite many column kilometers written about this
effort. It is based fundamentally on a slimmed down Linux that boots
directly into their browser Chrome. The idea is that you should only
work on the web, so you install any software on your computer or store
files on it - instead it's web applications and storage in the cloud
that apply.
Android 4.0 has not been a great success. Several
manufacturers have announced that it is going on with updates for their
newer smartphones, allowing users to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, but
so far it seems Android 4.0 ICS only run at about 1 percent of Android
devices. Most runs Android 2.3.x Gingerbread.
How will Android 5.0 run on PCs?
According
to a source, (SlashGear) we also see computers that have both Android
5.0 and Windows 8 installed, and you can switch between operating
systems without having to restart the computer. From a user perspective
it is difficult to see any great benefit in this. Why should ordinary
people be interested to switch between operating systems?
If we
look at some historical facts Android 2.3.x is the version that is most
popular for smartphones, while Android 3.x is for tablets. With Android
4.0 hit you combine these two systems to make a joint that works on all
devices. With Android 5.0, Google is planning to target the PC market.
I will report back as my Sources have more information.
My next blog will be about my new PC, it's up and running!
