Is There Life After Google Gummies? Of course it does, and it has a lime flavor. Behind this sweet gibberish hides the progression with which Google has baptized each of the new versions of its mobile operating system, Android. We are currently installed in edition 4.1, named Jelly Bean ”” hence the gummies ””, but in the coming weeks we could attend a new presentation.
Its name would be Key Lime, and it would be version 4.2 of the green robot platform. With this delivery, little room would be left for the dissemination of Jelly Bean, which hit the market last June and has not yet been significantly deployed in the available equipment segment. "" This week the first phone with Native Android 4.1, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Among the novelties expected in Android 4.2 Key Lime, one that has already been partially seen in Jelly Bean stands out. It is about the possibility of opening several system sessions from Android. The usefulness of this is especially focused on tablets, which could set up different user profiles, and computers so that the contents in the memory, as well as browsing history or phonebook not be exposed everyone with access to the device.
Continuing with what has been said, to be able to manage the different sessions in Android 4.2, Google would have designed several access models. One of them connects with what we already know through the facial recognition function. And it is that, as we were able to know through The verge, those of Mountain View would have patented a system with which the platform could recognize, thanks to the front camera that is found in much of the park of terminals that would come to be compatible with Key Lime, to the different users registered in Android 4.2
There will also be notable improvements in the design and interface of Android with Key Lime. At least, in the version subject to native use, not so in those that are subject to layers and proprietary interfaces designed by phone manufacturers to customize system management. So much so that Matías Duarte, head of this section, has come to point out that the possibilities of Android in this sense are still at half gas, and that it is still possible to improve the user experience much more.
Google could also have its engineers improve the experience with the virtual keyboard and dictation function. Already in Android 4.1 we have seen that it is able to annotate everything that the user points out live, even in offline mode, as long as it is spoken in English, with which in Key Lime we could attend an extension in the range of Available languages. Likewise, new steps would also be taken in the experience with Google Now, that search engine that integrates all the contents consulted and installed by the user to make the results completely personalized.
