If you can still keep up with the pace of Android updates you’ll know that the current version is 2.2, but now the news is that the next major release is 3.0, dubbed “Gingerbread”. There will be a new minimum hardware specification that manufacturers of future devices have to meet, namely a 3.5″ screen or bigger, a 1GHz processor, and 512MB of RAM. The new Gingerbread release, coming in October later this year, aims to be on larger devices such as tablets, and confusingly it might even be competing with Googe’s own future Chrome OS. The jump from 2.2 to 3.0 is pretty large, and so it should be with a completely new UI being touted as a new feature, so skins like HTC’s Sense will apparently move out of the way completely.
Everything Everywhere Limited – Britain’s biggest communications company – has reached another important milestone today - the official integration of T-Mobile UK and Orange UK, with all employees now working for Everything Everywhere Limited.
Following the creation of the company’s Vice President tier in May, three new appointments have been made: Neil Macgeorge, VP of Products; Simon Frumkin, VP of Procurement and Supply Chain; and Stephen Harris will take the role of Chief of Staff to CEO Tom Alexander. In addition, a new team of Directors has been appointed. There are no other role or structural changes for the company’s 16,500 staff.
A number of changes will also be taking place for employees today, including new Everything Everywhere branding for key headquarter buildings, Everything Everywhere staff email addresses, new business cards and more.
It was back in April that Microsoft announced their range of KIN phones and to cut a long story short they were rubbish and they are not moving forward with the project!
“Microsoft has made the decision to focus on the Windows Phone 7 launch and will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones."
