Samsung Galaxy Tab: Android Gingerbread, Honeycomb – Release Updates

Alan Ng — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:53:10 +0000

We have some good news for those of you who are planning to pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab this month, as we are hearing reports that the device will definitely get future updates to both Android OS Gingerbread and Honeycomb.

That is according to this report from Phandroid, who have taken their information from an unnamed Samsung representative who has stated that the Galaxy Tab will receive both updates as soon as they come to market.

Unfortunately, the rep didn’t give an exact release period for when the updates will be available, but Phandroid also add that Android OS Gingerbread, now thought to be OS version 2.3 will be out before Christmas. As for the Honeycomb update, fresh details on it are due to come during the early part of 2011 – will it now be known as Android 3.0?

Hopefully Samsung get their act together and release Gingerbread for the Samsung Galaxy Tab as soon as possible, although it’s slightly worrying to think that the majority of Galaxy S owners are yet to receive the Android 2.2 Froyo update.

Are you planning to get a Galaxy Tab?

Dell Venue Pro: Android Version Confirmed

Alan Ng — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 05:40:59 +0000

We have some good news for Android lovers who liked what they saw in the Windows Phone 7-equipped Dell Venue Pro smartphone, as it has been revealed that Dell are planning to launch an Android version of the device.

As reported from Phandroid, the news has surfaced from a PC World article, which claims that Dell will release a very similar-in-build handset to the one which they are preparing to launch with Windows Phone 7.

If the news is true, then you would like to think that this handset would most likely be running Google Android 2.2 Froyo at the least, but who knows, Dell might even surprise us with Android 2.3, which we now know is the next major version of Android.

If you haven’t seen the Dell Venue Pro, it looks reminiscent of a BlackBerry device, notably seen in the sliding mechanism on the Venue Pro, but the squared design and the stylist back casing of the Venue Pro make it stand out from the rest.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you like to see this handset running Android OS?

Android OS 2.3: Gingerbread Release Date Imminent?

Alan Ng — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 01:41:39 +0000

Although Android OS Gingerbread was initially thought to be set at version 3.0, some recent turn of events has suggested that Gingerbread could actually be known as Google Android 2.3.

Firstly, Gingerbread has now been made official by Google as they have released a video, showing off a huge statue of a gingerbread man next to the current Froyo statue outside their campus.

While it is thought that Gingerbread could still turn out to be 3.0, a statement by a Google employee has revealed some very interesting news. Here is a direct quote from the Android support Forums:

”Yes, Android 2.3 is a “major release”, and this patch will be available then.”

The only other major release we’ve heard about after Android 2.2 Froyo, is Gingerbread so this does make things very interesting.

If the speculation is true, what version will Honeycomb stand at? Let us know your thoughts on this.
