A Better Google ChromeBook to be expected in Google I/O 2013 - AndroidNova.org

ChromeBook was a product launched by Google at I/O 2011, and though it has been getting lukewarm responses, it may be possible that Google has a newly advanced model under their sleeve, like a secret weapon, waiting to be unveiled this year. It might as well pose threats for other commercial laptops and signify ChromeBook’s stand in the laptop market.

Well then of course is the Nexus range of phones, there always lies a possibility that Google will give slight indications about its future models. With the Google Nexus 4 and 7 showing good amount of sales, this is indeed credible.

Google might also unveil a social gaming platform, similar to the App Center for iOS, which will allow users to play live with other players. And this will considerably impact the Android Games market, with MMO( Massive Multiplayer Online ) games for Android coming into focus. Games like Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfers being huge hits, commercial game developers like Gameloft will be able to capitalize on this idea.

Www.AndroidNova.org

The rumoured Google Babel messenger is sought to be real and more details about it have been found in a javascript file hosted on Gmail servers, The file which was for Google internal memo leaked to the outside world due to Google’s popular email platform called G-mail. Folks at Google Operating System blog were first to spot this.

As we can expect, Google is currently dogfooding Google Babel internally. Like Facebook is dogfooding its Android app for its developers ,Google is always dogfooding its products before use. Dogfooding means a technique in which compony forces its employees to thoroughly use their own products, rather than using other company’s similar products.

An image link showing a promo screenshot of Google Babel was also spotted by GOS, but has now been removed by Google (screenshot below).

www.Androidnova.org

The JS file reveals that Google Babel is the new messenger from Google (as we already knew, thanks to all the leaks and rumours).

The file and the above picture also details some of the new features that we can expect in Google Babel and are not present in the current Google Talk/ Chat.

Access the same conversation list from anywhere
A new, conversation-based UI
Advanced group conversations
Send pictures
Improved notifications across devices

As you can read in the screenshot of the JS file – “Babel is Google’s new messenger with clients for Android, iOS, Chrome, Google+ and Gmail” – Google is going to release clients for Android, Chrome and iOS and Babel will also be integrated in Google+ and Gmail.

So, all we have to do now is wait for the official debut at Google I/O 2013 ,But anyways devs and enthusiasts always have the backdoor access first

Happy Reading users,

Facebook Home to only support Android 4.0+ devices

Facebook unveiled its new home-screen replacement app “Facebook Home” for Android on April 4th,But it cleverly skipped a\n important detail in the main announcement and even in the press release. Apparently, Facebook Home is only compatible with phones powered by Ice Cream Sandwich and newer Android versions, Which was revealed in the Q&A session after the event.

If your phone has Gingerbread or below Android versions, which are still present on about 45% of total Android devices, you are not “that” lucky. Facebook is planning for the future and in the next one year or so, Gingerbread and older versions will be out of the smartphone OS variants list and we will have a majority of devices running on 4.0+

Set to be released in Google Play on April 12, Facebook Home will initially only support – HTC One X, One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II, but S 4 and HTC One support will soon follow. Other Android devices with Android 4.0+ are expected to get Facebook Home support in the coming months.

Also no information regarding launch of Facebook Home for Android tablets is mentioned.However they are surely going to launch that tablet version soon after they get a hold of the Smartphone user-base. Lets hope this FB homescreen will not annoy us anymore wit its targeted ads.
