LG LS970 to come with quad-core 1.5GHz Krait processor

It seems LG is working on a new flagship for Sprint – the LS970 that will probably retail as the Eclipse 4G LTE.

The specs are quite impressive – a Snapdragon SoC with a quad-core 1.5GHz Krait processor and Adreno 320 graphics, 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. It should pack a 4.67-inch 1280x768px LCD screen, a 13MP rear and a 1.3MP front camera alongside LTE capabilities.

The Eclipse 4G LTE is supposed to be just 8.6mm thin and weigh 142 grams with its 2100mAh battery, and the SoC is supposed to outscore every ARM Cortex-A9-based quad-core chipsets (Tegra 3, Exynos) out there.

Android : Gingerbread still king

Google just updated the Android version distribution charts. In April Android Gingerbread growth started to slow down, while the ICS market share nearly doubled.

The latest version of the Android OS - Ice Cream Sandwich a 4.9% share, up from 2.9% a month ago. We do wonder if it will manage to become the most widely adopted version before Jelly Bean becomes available.

Version	Market Share, April	Market Share, March	Change
1.5 Cupcake	0.3%	0.3%	0.0
1.6 Donut	0.7%	0.7%	0.0
2.1 Eclair	5.5%	6.0%	▼0.5
2.2 Froyo	20.9%	23.1%	▼2.2
2.3 Gingerbread	0.5%	0.5%	0.0
2.3.3-2.3.7 Gingerbread	63.9%	63.2%	▲0.7
3.0 Honeycomb	0.1%	0.1%	0.0
3.1 Honeycomb	1.0%	1.0%	0.0
3.2 Honeycomb	2.2%	2.2%	0.0
4.0-4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich	0.5%	0.5%	0.0
4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich	4.4%	2.4%	▲2.0

Versions 2.1 and 2.2 (Eclair and Froyo) saw a slight decline while the other releases maintained their market share.

DO NOT GO FOR ICE CREAM SANDWICH UPDATE. Gingerbread is still better and stable. Recently I updated my Sony Neo V to ICS. Sony had already informed on their blog about performance issues. Still I took risk to go for ICS. My Neo V got froze thrice. Nothing was responding. I have to remove the battery. This never happened for a single time when Neo V had Gingerbread. But with ICS it happened just in 10 days of time.  WAIT for stable build at least for Sony mobiles. Others I do not have any update.

Install Android on Nokia mobile

If you love Nokia hardware but wish for a better operating system, consider what some enthusiastic developers have done.

As part of a project called NITDroid, the developers have created a compatible version of the Android operating system for Nokia’s internet tablets. The result is a device that has the body of Nokia and the brains of Android.

“Nokia’s hardware is fantastic but their software is suboptimal, slow, buggy and not always the best user experience,” says Terrence Eden, a U.K.-based mobile consultant who installed Android 1.6 “Donut” on his Nokia N810. “Android is a much better software environment for Nokia hardware than what Nokia provides.”

Eden’s Nokia-Android hybrid works well except for access to Google Market and apps, he says.

Meanwhile developers have created a stable version of Android 2.2 Froyo for the Nokia N900, which ships with Nokia’s Maemo operating system. They have been able to get calls, data and Google apps going on the hacked device. The only missing feature is camera support.

This is not the first time a phone has been hacked to run an entirely different kind of operating system. Eager to experience Android’s features, some intrepid smartphone users hacked their Windows Mobile phones to run Android.

With Android for Nokia phones, the NITdroid project has had varying degrees of success. So far, they have attempted to port Android for Nokia’s tablet range of devices — which means the Nokia N770, N800, N810 and N900.

“On the N810, everything is pretty much functional. It isn’t a phone so there’s no call functionality to deal with,” says Eden.

But with the N900, users have found themselves unable to use the Android-powered device to make calls on a 3G network or change the screen brightness.

Tweaking the Nokia phones to change its operating system to Android isn’t for everyone, says Eden.

“It’s not something anyone off the street can do,” he says. “It’s a bit like installing Linux on the PC that you bought off Best Buy.”

But for those who are willing to take the risk, Eden has written a step-by-step guide on his blog for getting Android on the N810 (http://shkspr.mobi/blog/?p=18). The NITDroid wiki also has an installation guide for other Nokia phones.
