History of Android versions along with Codenames- And the next codename of Android is…. !

Android Codename is nothing but the cookie or snack name used by developers for its versions. The history of Android codenames are-1.0  Astro, 1.1 Bender, 1.5 Cupcake, 1.6 Donut, 2.0 and 2.1 Eclair, 2.2 Froyo, 2.3 Gingerbread, 3.0 Honeycomb, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the most recent version is Jelly Bean that is version 4.1  which was announced in June this year. Astro and Bender are the strange code names which were unveiled by google men recently. There is some confusion with the Android 1.1 codename as it was named as “Petit Four” but not used officially by Google. You can get the detailed information along with the features added to Android in Wikipedia.

Arrangement of Android Codename

Let’s focus on the arrangement of android Codename, these codenames are arranged in alphabetical order. A for Astro, B for Bender, C for CupCake, D for Donut and so on. According to this logic the next codename of Android would begin with letter K.

What would be the next codename of Android after Jelly Bean?

key lime pie

There is no doubt that the next version of Android would begin with letter K and according to the sources the next codename of Android would be “Key Lime Pie” which could be named to the version of Android 6.0, Key lime pie is an sweet pie made with key lime juice, egg yolks, and condensed milk. Key Lime Pie is expected to release in the year of 2013. It is just a rumor and Google has not yet officially decided about it.

Suggest the Indian Cookie name for the next version of Android Codename

KajuKatli campaign

Google has named almost all the versions of Android operating system with famous snacks and cookies of USA and now a campaign has begun in India to suggest the Indian cookie as a codename to the next version of Android i.e KAJUKATLI. KajuKatli is the famous Indian sweet made with cashews and sugar which is prepared especially in the occasion of Diwali.

The members of the campaign urge that we missed H for Halva and J for Jalebi and now at least they want KajuKatli for letter K. Join this campaign here.

Windows 8 launching on Oct 25 along with Surface, Windows Phone 8 on Oct 29th

The much awaited biggest overhaul of the Windows platform since its incarnation, Windows 8 is finally going to be here folks along with Microsoft’s foray into the Tablet market with its Surface Tablet. The long awaited Windows Phone 8 has also finally got a launch date. Microsoft has started to send out invites for the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 in the US. The first event which will see the launch of Windows 8 and Surface will be held on October 25th in New York while its mobile operating system Windows Phone 8 will be unveiled on October 29th in San Francisco.

Windows 8 launch invitation

Windows 8 is the biggest overhaul we have seen Windows go through as it brings a completely new design language and is mostly touch centric to foray into the Tablet world which is right now dominated by Apple’s iPad. Microsoft has also gone ahead and brought a different version of Windows 8 that is Windows RT which will run on ARM based chipsets.  We have already seen  variety of notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets and hybrids which will come with Windows 8 OS from most of the major hardware vendors, these devices will either be powered by ARM or Intel chipsets. We will also get to know about the pricing of its Surface tablet which will surely be a benchmark for Windows 8 tablets.

Windows Phone 8 invitation

Coming to Windows Phone 8, the biggest change it has gone through will not be noticeable to an average user that is it has the same underlying code as that in Windows 8 thus making it easy for developers to port apps between both the platforms. This version of Windows Phone also finally brings a new start screen and lots of other features are expected to bring it on par if not above against the other two giants i.e. Android and iOS. It has surely brought the hardware on par with the others with support for HD displays, multi-core chipsets etc.. Nokia, Samsung and HTC have already unveiled their Windows Phone 8 handsets and we can expect them to be available next month.

The close proximity of these Microsoft OS launch events illustrates their shared base components, and how Microsoft will inevitably go about pushing their synchronisation potential.

 

 

Rumors about the fourth gen iPad surface along with latest iPad Mini rumors

Rumors about the fourth gen iPad surface along with latest iPad Mini rumors

 

The third generation iPad has been on sale for four months now and now we have come across rumors suggesting what the iPad 4 or whatever Apple decides to call it should feature and when it will come out. We also have been hearing about an iPad Mini in the making for quite long now and the folks at DigiTimes suggest that Apple is planning on releasing an iPad in October and we expect it to be the iPad Mini if it turns out to be true while the iPad should come out after the third iPad has been out for an year because we are yet to see Apple releasing bringing a similar device before its yearly cycle.

Brochure

Talking about the features then surely very little is known about it, sources at iLounge suggest that the next iPad will be a modest upgrade keeping in line with the Apple’s policy of major upgrage every two years for the iPhone and iPad with a slimmer body, smaller dock connector maybe as in the iPhone 5 to unify its next gen product line-up and internal improvements.

The rumors also suggest a 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen display on the next iPad as opposed to the 4:3 in all the previous iPads. Industry analyst Paul Mueller told the Examiner: “I have talked to at least three people close to Apple who say that there are new iPad prototypes that have a 16:9 aspect ratio.”

Well that’s all we know about the next gen iPad, not talking about the iPad Mini. now lets come to the fresh rumors about the long rumored iPad Mini. We all know there’s a new born fight in the sub-$200 tablet category with the birth of this category by the Kindle Fire and with the Google Nexus 7 and the latest Kindle Fire 2 heating the market up, Apple is expected to enter the market soon with a new cheaper iPad offering in the form of iPad Mini.

Brochure

The long heard rumors say it should feature a 7-inch display but more reliable sources say the display will be 7.85-inches while the resolution is yet unknown but we expect it to match the retina number and the upcoming tablet will be as thin as the iPad 2 which is already marginally thinner than the third gen iPad. Some sources and look at cases confirm that it will come with a rear camera, which will give it a big advantage over the Google Nexus 7.

The most exciting detail reported of the lot is the pricing which is said to be $249-$299, if the iPad Mini truly launches in this price range then it will give a pretty hard time to folks at Google and Amazon.

Well we hope we get an iPad Mini since at the price which is rumored it will surely make it a killer device and talking of the next gen iPad, the 10-inches one then its still very early to talk about it but we expect the fourth gen iPad to be lighter than its predecessor, more storage since the sizes of the apps are getting bigger day by day considering the Retina Display and intense graphics and other features such as NFC but considering iPhone 5 doesn’t have it makes us skeptic. We also expect speaker improvements and better battery life and better software with the latest version of iOS, we really are waiting for an overhaul.
