Rumours About Android5.0 by Generalkorex(m): 8:11am On Jun 30, 2013
Google's showing no signs of slowing its pace of Android development, with Android 4.0 appearing on the Galaxy Nexuslate in 2011, followed in July of 2012 by the Android 4.1 Jelly Beanrelease that arrived powering the super Nexus 7.
But, forward-looking, update-obsessed people that we are, we can't help but imaginehow Google's going to maintain the pace of innovation in its next major release of its mobile OS, Android 5.0.
All we know so far is that Google's working away on the K releaseof Android, which it's developing under the dessert-related codename of Key Lime Pie. Regarding the version number, it's likely that the Key Lime Piemoniker will be given to Android5.0. We thought
but as yet thereis no official word from Google.
So now as we wait on official news of the Android 5.0 release date and features, we can start to pull together the Key Lime Pierumours from around the web,with the first sighting of Android 5.0 on a benchmarking website, apparently running on a Sony smartphone. There has previously been speculation thatSony is in line to produce the next Nexus phone, which may lend some credence to this rumour.
Android 5.0 release date
In December 2012 Google announced that its developer conference - Google IO- would take place from May 15 to May 17 2013, a month earlier than 2012's June dates. Given that Google announced Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at 2012's IO conference, itseemed reasonable to expect to see Android 5.0 at this year's event.
On 31 January, aGoogle IO showing of Android 5.0 looked more likely when screengrabs of a Qualcomm roadmapwere leaked, showingAndroid 5.0 as breaking cover between April and June 2013.
But on 24 April 2013, we read that Key Lime Pie may not make its debut at Google IO after all. Apparently, "trusty internal sources" told a site called Gadgetronicathat Google has decided to delayAndroid 5.0 for two to four months to give hardware makers the chance to properly roll out Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
At the time, we said to take thisrumour with a pinch of salt, as even if Google decided not to ship the finished build of Android 5.0 until later in the year,that didn't preclude the company from talking up the new OS at what is, after all, a developer-focused conference.
