When Android 4.2 dropped, those lucky enough to be privy to the update also received a convenient update to their Gmail app. Goodies such as pinch-to-zoom, swipe-to-delete, auto-fit messages, and more were dangled in the face of the less worthy and only available to the select 1%. But not anymore! Well… not anymore for those running Android 4.0 and up.

This isn’t going to happen.

Nokia set the rumor mill alight last week when it posted a job listing on LinkedIn that called for a senior software engineer with Linux experience. Many felt it was an indication that the Finnish firm was experimenting with a Linux-based platform — such as Android — for a future smartphone.

Nokia has since clarified what the job listing is all about, however, and although it hasn’t completely denied working on an Android smartphone, it has all but killed the rumors in relation to it.

Apple’s App Store has been the undisputed revenue king since its inception, however, its once enormous lead is now quickly shrinking. That leading edge over Android is an argument that’s becoming moot as the Play’s revenue continues to grow at a ravenous rate. According to App Annie, an industry leader in app store analytics and marketing, Google Play’s revenues have skyrocketed 311% in the last year, compared to the App Store’s more conservative 12.9%.

Google has recently updated the review system for the Google Play store by linking all reviews to a users Google+ account. While this move is sure to incur backlash from privacy proponents and angry trolls, I’m all for it and feel it creates a more respectable app review system that I can trust.

Google is sending out emails to let people know that at 12 noon PST, the Nexus 4 will once again be available for purchase via the Google Play store. This will certainly brighten the day for those of you who failed to hit your F5 key fast enough the first time.
