Google (the Po) mobile engineering vice President and ROM history · the hammersmith Locke's (Hiroshi Lockheimer) in 2012 the mobile world congress hinted that, a new generation of Android 5.0 operating system will be released this fall. He said: "overall, Android every year a major upgrade."
Android 4.0 operating system (code name "ice cream sandwich") since its launch, accounted for only 1% of the entire Android market share. There are only a few mobile phones and tablet computers use Android 4.0. But, in addition to "pure Google" Nexus equipment outside, the existing mobile and tablet computer rarely get Android 4.0 upgrade.
Maybe to this fall, lucky Android 4.0 May become 10% market share. No doubt, then there would still be using Android 2.3 operating system of cellphones, and launch Android 4.0 ICS operating system equipment wait for upgrade.
This is we think in 2012 of Android is a key and dangerous the cause of the year. When 90% or more than 90% of the application market is not able to use API and other tools, Google to developers that these tools, what's the point? Who would like to go to those who need ICS function of the development application? And what is Android 5.0?
If the cell phone manufacturers are still in the shipment of the products version, upgrade cycle in backward, Google continues to every year to Android a major upgrade practice also does not have what meaning.
As the industry insiders Matt Burns (Matt Burns) says, Google may think that this is the strategic goal, let consumer and cell phone manufacturers have more options, but this kind of practice is still make it difficult to understand. Every year with a major upgrade, why not go into some engineering resources to help finish different manufacturers the transition between the Android platform? Inevitably the welcome by consumer.
