Jet G4 Jet G4 Plus, will not have Android 7.0 Nougat – AnalĂ­tica.com

the

not Yet, there will be Android 7.0 Nougat

Well, no, it’s not going to get an imminent update to Android 7.0 Nougat for the Moto G4 Jet G4 Plus. It was believed that the new version was going to come already, in a matter of a few days, this same month of October. On the 29th of October, just yesterday, seemed to be the chosen day. But it has not been.

And those statements were true. So much that it now speaks of a "delay" in the launch of the update, when in reality he never gave a definitive date.

End of November

even Though officially the only thing we know is that Android 6.0 Marshmallow is the latest firmware available for the Moto G4 Jet G4 Plus Lenovo, and that there is no new version, the information reaching us says that Android 7.0 Nougat will land at the end of this month of November, in the best of cases, or even a little later, being the beginning of the last month of this year, December, when we can already install the new firmware in the mobile.

As is always the case, it will arrive gradually to all phones in all over the world, first to regions and then to other, first to mobile free, and then marketed by means of operators. Be that as it may, it is very likely that before the end of the year we can already tell with the latest version of the operating system (or almost the last, if we think of Android 7.1 Nougat) in the Jet G4 Jet G4, continuing what is already a legend, and that is that Motorola are the first smartphones to receive the upgrade, not even a high-end mobile.

Apple has versions of iMessage for Android with Design … – CNET in Spanish

Apple has several prototypes of the app iMessage for Android, ” says the blogger John Gruber.

The prototypes have different interfaces, since some are very similar to the interface of iMessage on Android, until a version that is adopted to the Design Material, the guidelines for developing applications for Android.

Gruber, recognized in the blogosphere for having good contacts in the rows of Apple, says that “some birds” and gave these details.

Gruber says that it is possible that iMessage for Android would never see the light of day, but given that iMessage is a messaging service, and the category of Services is increasingly important to Apple, there is an “absolute no” to the release of the app to the eternal rival.

for a long time you have been around the rumors of the arrival of iMessage for Android. The most recent dating back to June of this year, prior to the conference for developers WWDC. The site MacDailyNews said that the app would be announced during the event of developers of Apple, something that had not happened.

For Apple, to keep iMessage as an exclusive for iOS, and macOS gives you a competitive advantage, as its platform of iOS has over 1,000 million users, and a large percentage of those users are in the united States, a region that iMessage is more popular than any other app such as WhatsApp or Line.

however, there is the case of BlackBerry and its messaging platform BlackBerry Messenger. The application was very popular among owners of a cell phone canadian, but with the arrival of the iPhone and other apps for messaging, the app lost its mojo. Later, BlackBerry launched BBM, as it was known to the app, to other platforms — but it was already too late.

Now, Apple has apps on Android, be Apple Music the most important. While the app offers many features that are present in the app for iOS, the version in Android has not received the design of iOS 10. Tim Cook, ceo of Apple, said that Apple’s Music is just the beginning and depending on your hosting, it will launch more apps for Android.

iMessage would come to Android What Wish of Steve Jobs? – AnalĂ­tica.com

the

iMessage on Android

it is Difficult to not sound like anything iMessage, but let’s just say that it is the WhatsApp application from Apple. It is integrated in the Mac, the iPhone, the iPad and even the Apple Watch. Its operation is the same as that of the messaging application that we use every day, but the fact of being cross-platform for all Apple devices makes it particularly useful. The only problem, of course, is that it is not available for Android and other operating systems. But that could change, because according to John Gruber, a well-known technology guru very close to Apple, the company from Cupertino would be working in a cross-platform version of iMessage. Would come to Android with its own interface of Material Design, which actually only would be a more app of the company in the ecosystem android, following the path of Apple Music.

Desire of Steve Jobs

But the most curious thing of all is that the arrival of iMessage to Android could have actually been a desire of Steve Jobs. Contrary to what many may think today, that Apple doesn’t launch these services because they want to have something that can’t be undone users of the iPhone, what is certain is that the idea that he was the founder of the company at its head was very different. And it all started with FaceTime. As with the application of video calls, Steve Jobs wanted this to be free and open, so that it could be integrated by other manufacturers in their smartphones. What Steve Jobs wanted to do was to set a new standard of communication for video calls. The big problem is that FaceTime never was developed to be free, so that at the legal level this presented many complications for the software that was used.

however, this leaves us clear what was the idea of Steve Jobs. Not wanted to be limited to launch a service for their devices, but a service that will change the way we communicate, that would make the phone part out of the past, and that we now saw the faces to speak.

Following this philosophy Apple now I would like to launch iMessage for Android. What is certain is that, as a user of Android and from Mac that I am, the workings of iMessage, it seems to me the level, and even better, than that of WhatsApp. Although there are no very great differences, how well integrated it is in all the Apple devices means that sometimes I want to ask, only for that reason, acquire an iPhone. The arrival of the watches smart, the communication through them and others, it could be something key.
