We are studying several stories that the up coming version of the extremely famous Google android mobile os will be known as Honeycomb.

The most recent statement comes from market publication TechRadar UK. In keeping with the sweets-themed naming conventions, this particular Operating system will follow Cupcake, Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread in the Google Android evolutionary march.

Gingerbread, rumored to be arriving this fall, is the codename for Google android 3., an excellent, high-end fork of the Operating system designed for gadgets like tablets and superphones. It’ll probably start off moving out on gadgets such as the Google/Verizon tablet expected in outlet stores this holiday season.

Honeycomb may be a 3.1 or 3.2 version of the Operating system; it seems unlikely to us that a 4.0 os would be in the functions while the 2.2 version has not yet designed it to all gadgets. A number of sources are stating this build might be exclusively for tablets, an increasing segment of the cellular devices industry.

Especially in an iPad-saturated gizmo marketplace, we have been somewhat anxiously waiting for the release of several Android-based tablets. The Dell Streak jumped onto industry a week ago by having a $300 price tag, a 5-inch display and an Google android 1.6 Operating system. But we have observed other exciting prototypes that run Flash and make best use of the Android platform, as well.

And as Apple/Android competition in the tablet market escalates, we expect to have that tablet products will improve in quality, reduction in price and increase in units sold. In reality, they might even be outselling netbooks within a couple of short years.

We have contacted Google about Honeycomb facts, such as version numbers and launch dates, but representatives won’t comment on Honeycomb at the moment; we will update you when we have confirmation on any points of interest.

What is your opinion regarding an Android OS designed specifically for additional powerful but still portable gadgets like tablets? Let us know your views and speculations in the comments.

Nokia has said that its new OS will house 250 new features. The new operating system is the latest these days, but it remains unable to get public vision. Nokia wants to get appreciation by listening how good its latest OS is. The device that will be having this operating system is still not in the stores. N8 will have this OS very soon.

Nokia published the list of the updates unlike other companies i.e. Apple. It is surprising that the well known phone makers decrease their interest by 40%. The circumstances are not helped by the speculation. Though symbian^3 is having more than 250 features according to the firm, but there are only some unique features. They include multiple touch support, well improved graphics, multitasking, and location gaining services.

Nokia is expecting that standard development employment, Qt, will help in the organization of the applications. For knowing the bond of the Nokia with symbian, you just have to see what the firm is advertising. Nokia is saying that with multi touch you can type faster, can perform complex actions, and can even type a letter. With keyboard, it was very difficult as was in 2007. The firm is saying that Symbian^3 is providing a very different feature, it is providing an advanced applications that will allow you to get reliable information of your location without providing an extra information.

The feature company is lacking is the reality. The multi touch that it is providing is also available by both iPhone and Android devices. HDMI also supports video by the operating system. You can now replace your laptop with N8 as it is very elegant. As it is providing the updates to the networking code, the firm is saying that it will improve the data transfer performance. This is performed with the help of the 3G connectivity in the UK, an important feature considered there.
Graphic system is now available that will allow hardware improvement. This feature is useful in playing games with the handset. Some of the users may criticize the phone feature that it is used for playing games. However, Apple has shown that it is a profitable way and may help Nokia in improving its name. Nokia is trying to promote the Symbian, for this purpose, it should discard the operating system that has caused an unbearable loss to it and should develop the Linux based Meego.

There have been seen mutually exclusive statements made by Nokia, first saying that all the N series will work on the operating system, and then saying that Symbian will be launched in future. N800 and N900 tell us the ancestor of the Meego, Maemo. As the firm is not still telling us the date of the launch of the N8, it looks that Kallasvuo’s goal is not possible of shifting 50 million Symbian^3 devices. Symbian launch will finally make firm to come equal to Google Android and iPhone.
