If the Android 4.2 rumours are false, what do we have?

Blair McClelland October 9, 2012 Android, Mobile

Just yesterday we reported on some rumours surrounding an upcoming version of Android, however these rumours have been revealed to be false. The original source did not verify its sources and it turns out they were nothing more than made up. Rumours will forever be rumours and we'd like to apologise for getting anyone's hopes up about Project Roadrunner or a Customisation Centre.

So if we won't see Android 4.2 later this month, what will we see? A couple of weeks ago there was rumours of a 5-inch Nexus device from Taiwanese manufacturer HTC. This story also included some hints about Android 4.1.2,  a small incremental release over the current Android 4.1.1. Rumours, and I stress rumours, suggest this version would include Project Butter improvements, added lockscreen functionality and other enhancements.

KitGuru says: It seems a bit early for another major Android release so this minor upgrade seems much more likely in our eyes.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
