Jean-Baptiste Queru announced Android 4.1.2 to AOSP today, something he calls a “minor update.” While it may be “minor,” reports of the update hitting the Nexus 7 have confirmed one improvement that I’ve been wishing for since I bought my Nexus 7 — landscape support for the home screen.
Yesterday we caught wind of a rumor suggesting a 32GB Nexus 7 was on the way. Today, more evidence suggesting so has popped up, along with a possible release date. According to Droid-Life, a reader of theirs came across the 32GB model on one of their purchasing systems, prompting him to call his reseller for more details. Once he contacted his reseller, he was informed that they would be receiving them around October 24, and that it was a “special” model.”
We’ve been hearing for a bit now that Google was going to revamp their Nexus program and that we would soon be seeing multiple Nexus devices being manufactured by various OEMs. According to Taylor Wimberly over at Android and Me, those whispers are going to turn to reality very soon, and LG will be the first up to bat.
Google has been rolling out a slew of minor updates across a multitude of apps. If you’re using any of the following apps, you’ll want to check for an update in the Play Store:
Before you go getting too excited, none of this has been confirmed, however, these names did pop up in the inventory system of British retailer Carphone Warehouse. While we have no idea what a Nexus 2 would or could be, the 32GB Nexus 7 sounds right up my alley.
