A leaked press render has emerged on the internet, showcasing Samsung’s mammoth Galaxy Mega 6.3 running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean skinned with the latest version of the South Korean company’s TouchWiz UI, together, with some of Sprint’s traditional service applications, thus confirming weeks of suspicion suggesting that the handset is headed to the popular U.S. carrier.
One of the great things about Google is that their goal is to get people to use the Internet more. And the only way to do that is to make the Internet better.
A better Internet that I use more is my goal, too — and yours. So there’s an alignment of interests with Google that makes them a user-friendly company, generally speaking.
Google wants people to use the Internet so badly that they are actually digging trenches and laying fiber citywide in multiple cities. They pay the wireless bills for some users in the third world (as long as they’re using Google services). And that’s ultimately why they sell Chromebooks and give away Android.
It’s all about getting people to exchange more bits with the Internet.
However, there’s another project Google could do that would literally enable hundreds of millions of people to “use the Internet more.”
We can’t wait for Google to unveil its new Nexus 5 (I’m getting pretty impatient now, actually), but it may not be the end of the current Nexus 4. While the search giant hasn’t offered the device for a number of weeks, there a number of indications that it might be coming back — with 4G LTE onboard.
Facebook Home, the Android launcher from Facebook that you’ve probably forgotten about by now, has been updated to support Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr integration — allowing users to see posts and photos from these services on their lock screen.
HTC rolled out its Android 4.3 update for the international HTC One earlier this week, and with it came the company’s latest Sense 5.5 user interface. It boasts a whole host of new features and improvements — including the ability to disable BlinkFeed completely — but that’s not all.
Users will also find themselves with 25GB of free Google Drive storage.
