Android 4.4 KitKat update confirmed for Moto X, Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini Nov 1st 2013, 15:00, by Chris Smith Following the Android 4.4 KitKat announcement, Motorola has already updated its software upgrade news portal with details about eligible upgrades for certain Motorola handsets. So far, the Moto X and the most recent Droids (Ultra, Maxx and Mini) have been confirmed to receive KitKat at some point in the future, although an actual launch date has not been specified for either model. Motorola did say on Google+ that it's excited about this Halloween and that it will have "more to share soon" about it. Comparatively, HTC has already announced that its U.S. HTC One models will be upgraded to KitKat in 90 days or so, with the Google Play edition of the phone expected to get it in the coming weeks. Since Motorola is now a Google company, and since KitKat is supposed to run on older hardware as well, we wouldn't be surprised to see Moto announce Android 4.4 update plans for other handsets in the future. We'll be back with more KitKat update news for the Moto X and the 2013 Droid models as soon as we have them!

Firefox Beta gets new Home design on Android Nov 1st 2013, 14:49, by Robert Nelson Firefox Beta for Android has received yet another update. This latest update has recently landed in the Play Store and it brings an updated startup screen. This is being called “Home” and it is described as being a place where users can get “quick and easy access to their browsing data.” That data will include everything from the top sites to history, bookmarks and your Reading List. The Home design will offer thumbnails for Top Sites and also allow the user to pin tabs. Users will see Home when they launch the app and from here they can open a new tab, surf to a site by entering an address in the URL bar or by tapping something from the Top Sites or History sections. This update also brought some search related changes. In this case that means the addition of Bing and Yahoo! as search options. While the Firefox Beta app is available globally, these additional search options are only going to apply for those in the US, Canada and France. The default search engine can be switched by navigating to Menu -> Search Settings. The password manager now also supports script-generated password fields. And aside from the items already mentioned, this update also improved performance for “some” NVIDIA devices and the CSP implantation now supports multiple policies. Lastly, there were also a few developer specific items. Those include the following; No longer a prompt when websites use appcache Support for CSS image orientation property Indexed DB can now be used as a “optimistic” storage area SOURCE: Mozilla, Google Play Store Story Timeline Firefox for Android gets improved Awesome Screen for faster, easier browsing Firefox for Android update improves sharing, adds Night Mode for Reader Firefox Beta update brings in Guest Browsing, better Android integration Firefox for Android security issue puts locally stored content at risk Amazon Kindle First brings promise of reading "next month's new releases today" Nov 1st 2013, 14:06, by Robert Nelson Amazon has announced Kindle First today. Kindle First will allow Kindle users to download and read an ebook up to a month ahead of the general release. Basically, this is providing early access to new ebooks. For Amazon Prime members, you will be able to download and read these books for free and those without Prime, these ebooks will be priced at $1.99. While this all sounds good so far, there are some limitations. To begin with, these ebooks will be titles that are being published by Amazon Publishing. And on top of that, there will only be a small selection of titles to pick from each month. Or in other words, you may not be able to score a free (or $1.99) ebook each and every month depending on your preferences. That being said, the process is simple and there is support for all Kindle devices — including Android devices using the Kindle app. Amazon has set up a Kindle First page that breaks down the process, which is really nothing more than picking the book you want and then downloading it to your device to begin reading. And to make sure you don’t miss out on any future releases, Amazon has set up a monthly email. The titles available this month include Things We Set on Fire by Deborah Reed, We Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor and Sue Carswell, No Place for a Dame by Connie Brockway and Silent Echo by J.R. Rain. Also, just to clarify, regardless of whether you are Prime and get these for free, or choose to stay non-Prime and pay the $1.99 — once these have been downloaded they remain in your collection. Anyway, while the non-Prime price seems to be attractive, this really appears to be adding yet another perk for Prime members. Not to mention, offering another reason to choose Kindle, whether you have a hardware device or are using the Android app. Otherwise, in recent Amazon news, we also saw a new Kindle-only publication launch earlier in the week. That one was called “Day One” and promises to showcase one short story and one poem each week. Day One launched with an introductory price of $9.99, but will eventually settle in at $19.99 per year. SOURCE: Amazon Kindle First, Business Wire Story Timeline Amazon streaming box could be delayed into 2014 Amazon reports huge sales, but still has a net loss Amazon rolls out Matchbook program Amazon "Day One" weekly magazine launches Amazon patents 3D object recognition service, possibly for Amazon smartphone Sony teases Jelly Bean and Kit Kat updates, details latest for WALKMAN Nov 1st 2013, 13:31, by Robert Nelson Without revealing much in the way of specifics, Sony did hit up Twitter with mention of both Android 4.4 Kit Kat and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean earlier this morning. There was mention of them being excited, however the they went on to say they will not be revealing anything additional until sometime next week. The details are expected to include “news on: 4.3, 4.4; products and more.” Basically, if you happen to be carrying a Sony Xperia branded device and are on the lookout for details of a Jelly Bean or Kit Kat update — make sure to pay close attention next week. Otherwise, in some news that seems to have gotten buried in the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 Kit Kit excitement yesterday, Sony also detailed their latest update for the WALKMAN app. The details of the update come by way of Anu Kirk, who is the Director of Music Unlimited for the Sony Entertainment Network. From what we are seeing, this update came with the focus on removing the difficulty of finding what you want in your collection. Kirk mentioned how they have been “working to build the kind of service that knows what you want, and brings it to you every day.” That being said, this latest release brings new Smart Playlists along with increased options for rearranging and editing playlists. It was said how it should now be easier to customize those playlists to get them just they way you want. In addition, there was also mention of how TrackID now talks with Music Unlimited. This means users will be able to listen to the songs they identified directly from the WALKMAN app. And looking forward, Sony did say they plan to expand the availability of Music Unlimited to additional countries and also add support for more devices and make improvements to the core service’s performance in 2014. That bit also came along with a teaser about how they “have a few surprises in store, too.” SOURCE: Sony Mobile Story Timeline Android 4.4 brings changes to Google Wallet Android 4.4 and the Nexus 5: a recap of the day's event Nexus 5 Android 4.4 factory image, binaries now available Android 4.4 Launcher extracted and available for download Nexus 5 factory image dump yields Android 4.4 Google apps downloads

Nexus 5 status update: 16GB models out of stock, initial orders shipping now Nov 1st 2013, 14:19, by Andrew Grush When the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 arrived last year, it was a nightmare to say the least. Not only did stock on the Nexus 4 dry up nearly instantly, the entire purchasing process was full of errors and other issues along the way. So how is the Nexus 5 holding up in comparison? Considerably better. Having one device on sale instead of two likely made things easier for Google to handle, and it seems that Google learned more than a few lessons from last year's launch. We can't yet speak for all Google Play markets that saw the device launch yesterday, but at least in the United States Google has brought their A-game in terms of handling the traffic and demand of the Nexus 5. Not only did Google Wallet handle all the orders with relative ease, the first batches of Nexus 5 units have already started shipping! Nexus 5 Availability Update Google did a great job keeping things in stock throughout most of yesterday, besides a brief period of time at the beginning where the 16GB white Nexus 5 showed it was out of stock. Shortly after that it returned, though the shipping times had slipped. Of course we knew the stock would run dry eventually. Now that almost a full day has passed, the 16GB models are currently listed as sold out. The white and black 32GB models are still available, with shipping times pushed back to 2-3 weeks. With a high-demand device like the Nexus 5, it's not a surprise to see stock run out or shipping dates slip. The real shock is just how smoothly the process has went when compared to past endeavors. We can’t say for sure when the Nexus 5 16GB models will return to stock, but so far it looks like Google is doing everything in its power to meet demand and ensure a smooth delivery process. Still, for those still interested in nabbing the Nexus 5, you might want to hurry and grab the 32GB while it's still available. Were you able to get your order in for the Nexus 5? Did you run into any problems or was it all smooth sailing? Media files: nexus 5 official google-play-shipping

Android has more than 80% market share in Q3, shipments see a huge increase too Nov 1st 2013, 14:31, by Justin Herrick The dominance in the smartphone industry continues to be lead by Google. In new numbers estimated by Strategy Analytics, Android has more than 80% smartphone market share in Q3 of 2013 (April – June). That’s an increase over last year’s 75%. Apple is undoubtebly in second 13.4%, down from last year’s 15.6%. Microsoft has also seen growth, chiming in with more than 4%. And BlackBerry continues its struggles and is hanging on to just 1%. With the Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 3, and Moto X all being launched recently, it should be interesting to see how future quarters fluctuate with Apple’s release of the new iPhones. Hit the break for shipment numbers. As you can see in the table above, there were more than 200 million Android smartphones that shipped in Q3 of 2013. As for Android’s biggest competition, Apple shipped more than 33 million handsets. Clearly this can be credited to the fact that Android has various OEMs to make their devices, helping distribution greatly.
