  • Google Might Be Planning To Incorporate Google TV Into The Next Version Of Android

    Ice Cream (The next version of Android) is said to be a mixture of Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Android 3.0 Honeycomb which sounds awesome but it seems that Google might also be planning to add Google TV to the mix. Google TV failed to radically capture markets but incorporating it will the popular smartphone operating system might prove to be a very smart decision.

    This decision could lead tablets, phones and TVs running on the same OS which would offer a much streamlined experience, heck we could even be able to have Android powering our house if this keeps up. This rumors sounds really good but we’ll have to wait till Google IO 2011 for the official announcement.

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Getting Android 2.3 This Summer!

    What is this Sony Ericsson? What happened to your old crew? This news came to us as a shocker to us all. SE who said their flagship Android phone the Xperia X10 won’t be getting any updates after Eclair but today they announced that it will be indeed be getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread this Summer.

    So if you decide to upgrade your Xperia X10 be prepared to lose the following functions:

    • The current plan is that the XperiaTM X10 will get the Android standard Camera user interface and therefore features like e.g. face recognition, smile shutter etc will be lost.
    • Moxier is replaced by the gingerbread native EAS functionality.
    • Mediascape is being replaced by the media experience widgets and music player included in our new 2011 products.
    • DRM keys for protected content on your phone will be lost in the upgrade process.
    • The Sony Ericsson Backup and Restore client is not supported in the Gingerbread version and will therefore be lost.
    • Support for bi-directional languages will be reduced compared to the latest version of the 2.1 version of the XperiaTM X10.

    But don’t worry guys you would recieve a lot of new features in return! Also all of you wondering that if X10 mini, X10 mini pro or the X8 would be getting Gingerbread, well the answer in no.
