2013-The year it has been for android

2013 has been a huge year for android. A lot has changed in the last one year. Temple run is not as "cool" as it used to be. Jellybean isn't the best android experience anymore(see the previous post). Lets see how android has changed in the last one year.

Android 

Google announced Android 4.4 kitkat, internally known as Project Svelte, on 3 September 2013. The release had long been expected to be numbered 5.0 and called 'Key Lime Pie'. KitKat debuted on Google's Nexus 5, and has been optimized to run on a greater range of devices, having 512 MB of RAM as a recommended minimum.Android 4.4 is currently only available on Google’s Nexus devices –– specifically, the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (both versions), Nexus 4 and Nexus 10.For more info on the new android OS, click here

Google

Google’s reputation and influence within the technology industry can’t be understated. The company is unflinching in its desire to improve people’s lives by offering accessible, empowering products and services.

Make no mistake, Google is still focused on generating revenue and advertising remains at the heart of its hugely successful business. Nevertheless, this year the company refined and expanded upon some of its most enabling contributions. Google continued to develop its hardware platforms, Android and Chrome OS, but its Web-based services such as Google+ ,YouTube  and Google Maps  also evolved in delightful and unexpected ways.

Google has focused its efforts in the last twelve months and proven that for every market it enters or competes in, it’s prepared to be patient and innovate until it gains a respectable piece of market share.
