Key Lime pie appears in nexus device

 

Android 4.3 might not be included with much advancement in it.but Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is likely closer than you think.

Google may have rolled out Android 4.3 Jelly Bean a few weeks back, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the search engine giant from testing the next OS version.The Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 have been spotted with a build , suggesting Google might already be testing the next Android version.
Both the devices have been spotted at the Chromium Bug tracker,  who also notes that it's time to start looking for the next version of Android which can be expected to be announced in October along with the successors to Google Nexus 4 and Nexus 10.
Following the usual alphabetical order for Android updates and naming them after desserts, the successor to Android Jelly Bean is widely believed to be dubbed as Key Lime Pie, though nothing has been confirmed by Google.

The possible changes that the new Android version may bring is a refined user interface, probably some more features as well as improved NFC capabilities.
It seems that the Android 4.X Jelly Bean has run its course and now Android 5.X Key Lime Pie is ready to take the rounds as the new Android version in the near future. Nothing has been confirmed by Google yet but it will be interesting to see the changes in the next Android OS.

Apple users have long been able to use iOS’s built-in device locator and remote wiping features, but Android users had to resort to third-party applications. That’s changing soon. Google  announced that it’ll launch a new Android Device Manager later this month that will allow you to locate and ring your misplaced (or stolen) device and perform a remote wipe so your data doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

The service, Google says, will be available on devices running Android 2.2 or up and judging from today’s announcement, the Android Device Manager site will feature a dedicated area for pinging your lost device. It’s not clear what else users will be able to do on the new Device Manager site, however.

Overall, of course, this new service looks a lot like Apple’s Find My iPhone feature. You’ll be able to make your phone ring at maximum volume (just in case it’s stuck between your couch cushions), for example. The locator feature will highlight your phone’s location on a map (no surprise there) and remote wiping just takes a few clicks. Unlike on Apple’s platform, though, it doesn’t look like users will be able to send messages to their lost phones or use something akin to Apple’s remote lock tool.

There is nothing really new here, of course, and some OEMs already offered some of these features on their Android phone, but Android users will sure be happy to hear that Google is finally making its own tool available to its users.

Updated Facebook Home

The Most Popular Facebook app for android has now updated.
Facebook released an update to its Android app Thursday, bringing with it one of the most popular features of Facebook Home: Cover Feed.A list that now includes the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Nexus 4—see the stylish Cover Feed without using Home.
Now Android users can take advantage of the lock screen from Facebook Home without having to download and install the Android launcher.

 Embeddable Posts With Facebook

Facebook Home’s Cover Feed displays photos and posts from friends on the lock screen of your phone. You can swipe through, comment on and like updates — all without launching the Facebook app or even unlocking your phone.
From the Android app version of the feature, users will get the same look and feel as the Home counterpart including quick access to camera and messages. Chat heads and the Home launcher will not be available as a feature of the app — however, users can enable chat heads from Facebook’s stand-alone Messenger app.
Facebook has offered the option to use Cover Feed without the launcher as part of Facebook Home since launch. Thursday brings that same ability to those who just have the Facebook Android app installed.
This isn’t the first time a feature from one of Facebook’s stand-alone apps has made its way into the main app. The social network traditionally tries out new features on power users who have downloaded apps such as Home, Messenger and Poke before incorporating them into the main Facebook app.
The company also recently invited Android users to join its beta program, and test new versions of its Android app before they launch to the general public.
Facebook’s Android update will be slowly rolling out to users over the next few days.

What do you think of the update? Will you be using Cover Feed on your Android phone?

An Office Comes to Droid

MIcrosoft Office if one such thing for PCs to store and create Documents.Earlier This Summer it landed to mobile platform also
when it came to the iPhone, but now it's making an even bigger splash on the world's largest mobile platform, Android. 
Starting Wednesday, Office 365 subscribers will be able to download and run the Office Mobile app for Android.
The Android version of Office only works on phones. 

Like the iPhone version, the app is a free download, but you must subscribe to Office to run the programs. Subscribers are allowed to run Office on up to five mobile devices, which don't count against the five PCs or Macs that can install the desktop apps. Windows RT and Windows Phone devices don't count against either total. (Those numbers differ a bit for student or business accounts.)

One difference on Android: You can't buy a subscription to Office like you can in the iPhone app. (You'll have to go to the web for that.) But otherwise, you get the same Word, Excel and PowerPoint, optimized for the smaller real estate on a smartphone screen. Once you start editing in Word, for example, the "chrome" of the app disappears, letting you focus on the document.

Advantage:
SkyDrive is the default place to save documents and the programs work pretty much as they do on iPhone, albeit with Android functionality and design elements. Plus, Office subscribers get an extra 20GB of storage. Office Mobile for Windows Phone still has the home-field advantage over Android, though, with its ability to open copy-protected files and hookups to SharePoint and Lync.
Google Drive, however, so there's room for Microsoft to improve. With the service coming online for Android users, the audience for those features will be that much larger.


Disadvantages :
Owners of Android tablets, just like iPad users, will have to settle for Office web apps since they won't be able to download the official app from Google Play . Android phones must be running version 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" or later.

The app is currently only available in the United States, but Microsoft says it will be available in dozens of other countries in coming days .

Are you excited that Office is coming to Android? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
