Leaked Photos Show Android 4.3 Running On Nexus 4?
Some of us were expecting Google to announce Android 4.3 at Google I/O this year, which unfortunately didn’t happen. But now, thanks to a user on the XDA forums, we have screenshots that show a possible Android 4.3 running on a Nexus 4. The shots come from a mobile expo that is currently taking place in Thailand. The new build, dubbed JWR45B, looks an awful lot like it’s predecessor, Android 4.2.2, which leads us to believe that the newest version of Jelly Bean won’t be featuring any major design changes. … Read more

Apple Vs. Samsung: Apple Says Google Now Violates Siri Patents
Apple has been mum about any new product developments over the last few months, but the company is certainly not rolling over to the likes of Samsung in its ongoing patent infringement battle. Interestingly, Apple is now claiming that Samsung is violating Siri patents, via an amendment in its current court case. Apple is claiming that Samsung is infringing on patents 8,086,604 and 6,846,959, which detail a “universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system,” a.k.a. Siri, by using Google’s Google Now technology in their devices. Apple is also claiming … Read more

Google Files New Media Player with FCC – Could It Be the Next Nexus Q?
We reported last week on the fate of the Nexus Q. The excellent Google Play Music update with all of its streaming content isn’t compatible with the Nexus Q device, effectively making it useless as a media (or at least music) streaming orb and leaving it essentially broken. The Q was introduced at last year’s Google I/O and was designed to allow you to stream content from your phone or tablet to your TV. After the device failed to garner much interest from consumers and had some initial problems, Google postponed … Read more

Watch This: Google Glass 2.0 Concept Video
Toronto Creative Agency Playground Inc. released a concept video this week that shows off their ideas of what the next iteration of Google Glass could look like. While a sophomore version of Glass is, at very least, a long way off, it’s fun to imagine the potential for the future of the wearable tech. There are definitely some great ideas in this video, most of which seem like they wouldn’t be too far-fetched for the current hardware if tethered to a phone. In fact, a lot of the features in this … Read more

Phandroid received confirmation from a Google liason named Paul that the Nexus Q would not be getting the upgrade: Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. As you noticed, the latest version of Google Play Music isn’t compatible with … Read more
