The Internet Corporation will continue to follow the tradition of “sweet dessert” naming alphabetically release of its mobile platform Android.
For the next four Android Ice Cream Sandwich («ice cream wafers”), scheduled for release in October and November, will be born Android 5 Jelly Bean («chewy candy.”) However, the last show should be expected no earlier than spring conference, Google I / O 2012.
We claim that Android 5 Jelly Bean gets dramatic changes with respect to its predecessor. In other words, there is a danger that the introduction of powerful new products of mobile Google-platform again postponed, and the modernization of Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich will be relatively weak, touching only the harmonization of the code base for mobile phones and tablets, as well as innovations such as camera tracking the movement of the user’s head and iPhone -like attachment at the bottom of the tray with the icon.
Meanwhile, many manufacturers Android-devices and application developers have put a lot on the Ice Cream Sandwich – looks like they will be disappointed. It seems that none of the vendors Android-tablet is not able to ship more than 1 million of its products during the quarter – hence, a special competition Apple iPad, manifested in the growth of supply in the near future, will not be able to make and with the release of Android 4.

Blackberry
Research In Motion seems to be accelerated with the conclusion to the market its first smart phone platform QNX – selling phones in the BlackBerry OS 7 is poor.
It is believed that if the demand for BlackBerry-devices to customers in the corporate sector remains acceptable, the consumer interest in home users is below the expected level.
Passing under the code first BlackBerry Colt QNX-device operating system that shares the same code base as the platform BlackBerry Tablet OS, managing the work of the tablet BlackBerry PlayBook, put out for being in a protracted falling business RIM. Meanwhile, this phone is very important to gain support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service, realizing the integration and synchronization with email, calendar, messaging and collaboration services. Otherwise – QNX-phone awaits the failure of similar unenviable fate PlayBook.
According to rumors, BlackBerry Colt will be released without the support of the current version of BES / BIS – Canadian manufacturer will offer new versions of the middleware, which can work as well as surrounded by QNX, and BlackBerry OS.

Motorola
“Facebookphone” in the market already exist – they do HTC, INQ and Vodafone, and now a similar device to release Motorola. As reporters learned Unwired View, smartphone Motorola EX225 will be executed according to the laws of the genre: deep integration into Facebook interface plus hardware button to call the specific functions of social networks. And to make it easy to communicate with friends chatting and writing status updates, provided to the QWERTY-keyboard half the size of candy bar.
Of course, because the keyboard had to sacrifice a little screen: its diagonal of 2.4 inches. The operating system is still unknown, but judging by the pictures, it’s not Android. Perhaps this Brew based on it, or firmware.

Sony Ericsson
The usual QWERTY-piece, in which there is no touch screen. This ODM-model, rather slow and stupid. Against the background of Nokia C3, this product loses, however, as most of the QWERTY-making from Samsung in the segment. The problem is exactly one, this is a slow phone, with a surplus of other shortcomings, but say they do not want, as comfortably use the device almost impossible.

Sony Ericsson
Normal phone with a QWERTY-keyboard, and along with the presence of Wi-Fi. Screen 3 inch touchscreen with a resolution of 240×400 pixels. The unit 3-megapixel camera plus a common set of applications. Unfortunately, the performance of this device leaves much to be desired, it is slow, so it is impossible to recommend.

Sony Ericsson
A full copy of Xperia Mini and replacement models last season. Exactly the same approach, the existence of a sliding QWERTY-keyboard, which in this little girl needs a little. The difference in price with a simple Mini nearly 50 dollars, and the body is slightly thicker. This model is not exactly become very in demand, it is a niche proposition.
