Forget Android Donut or Android Eclair: Time to talk about Android version 4 – Special focus on Business features and 3D-Gaming!

Surprised? Don’t be. Because, Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google told in an interview that Google has already started working on the fourth version of Android.

There are no details about the version, but it is for sure that future versions of the Android OS will have special focus on enterprise customers. In a recent news  post, we had reported that Google is planning to include functionalities like that of Blackberry, which targets the businesses, in its later version. In addition to enterprise features, Google also plans to bring 3D gaming to its mobile phones by making use of powerful mobile CPUs like the one from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon that runs at 1GHz clock speed.

Right now, Blackberries are still considered as the best and most productive (mobile) business tool.

“Today, we don’t support many enterprise applications but in the future, I think enterprise will be a good focus for us,” Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google

Google although already offers an array of its services like Google Mail, Google Calenders and Google Docs on its Android phones, but they are not enough for making its name in enterpirses.

T-Mobile Android netbook coming?

We have all witnessed and sensed the hype and craze surrounding the Android OS since the date it was launched. Every other day, we get news, or should I say, rumors about some or the other company launching an Android product (be it ASUS, Samsung, verizon or HTC).

Today, we have a similar news about Android notebooks. But this comes from an unexpected company, when it comes to notebooks. This news comes from T-Mobile. As per sources, T-Mobile is planning to launch Android powered notebooks, possibly by the end of this year. Rumor has it that it would be made by HTC.

The device is yet to be named. But, the availability of inbuilt 3G connectivity is confirmed. The date of release has not been finalized yet, but probably it will be launched by the end of this year. If this possible date turns into reality, T-Mobile would be one of the first companies to launch an Android notebook.

Now, I see a real surging and bright future of the Android OS in both the notebooks and the mobile phones market. As far as I can recall, no other Operating system in the market had ever experienced such craze and demand in such a short span of time.

We do not have much information about the features available “in the box”. But, as we can see the number of third party applications being released in the Android Market, and the great works of the guys at xda-developers, I am sure it wont take long before any of the missing functionality are added by the developers.
