Key lime pie changed to Kit Kat

Me: hey dude, ready for the Key Lime Pie update? Dude: huh? Where have you been... as of now Key Lime Pie doesn't exist anymore its now KitKat. Duh!

Me: *Speechless* and feeling dumb.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As at when this conversion took place, I just came back from some jungle(some would call it a village). So that explains why I was living in the past. After the news of the change of codename, I went to do some research and actually found that Google changed Jelly Bean's successor's codename from Key Lime Pie to Kit Kat for some comical reason: they(android division of Google) said that most of their employees didn't know what Key Lime Pie(the dessert I mean) was so they had to change it to a more common one, hence the name KitKat. I take it that at this point you know that Android versions are name after one dessert or the other.

Download NeverMaze for BlackBerry 10

The NeverMaze app is more or less like the Super Hexagon app f which I earlier did a review on. NeverMaze is a native app available only for the BlackBerry 10 devices(not coming to android any time soon says the developers). Though the graphics are basic, and it has no audio(which would have been a nice touch), it can stiil be a time-killer and could get addictive.
The rule is simple: Manouevre through the maze and  connect the two dots. Sounds easy eh? Don't be decieved! There are over a billion mazes (hence the name NeverMaze, get it?) so your chances of seeing the exact same maze twice is next to zero. But again, this one aint free.

Download Super Hexagon for the Blackberry Z10, Q10 and Q5

Though I am not a blackberry fan, I had to post this when I heard of this game and finally played it for myself. The hype was just too much! The game starts with you(a little triangle) aught in the middle of the screen. Now the walls (which are shaped in hexagogns by  the way - I think that's where it gets its name from) start closing-in.

How to identify fake SAMSUNG devices[and other brands]

For some time now, China phones have hit the market and have made a name(Not too good a name though). Why? These so-called China phone have a general motive: A little lower specs for MUCH lower prices and this is generally a good thing until they started fooling people.
A little while ago, I owned a Samsung Galaxy Note 1(The Chinese Version). Now, if you're not really conversant with the note, I bet you, you'd have thought it was the real thing. But a few things gave it away as a fake which I am going to share below.

Fake BBM for Android hits the play store

Many Black Berry users argue that the BBM is one of the man reasons why Blackberry devices are(oops.. I meant were)  rocking and storming the market. Then....ENTER ANDROID.
When Android first hit the market, it was expensive like crazy but now thanks to  companies like Tecno, you can get low-cost android devices. When this happened, Apps like Whatsapp hit the mobile world sweeping smartphone users off their feet. Though Whatsapp has serious competition lately.....well thats for another
post. It had some serious edge over BBM like its cross-platform nature. On seeing this, in other not to run out of users(Since they've been banned in some countries), Black Berry decided to move BBM to other platforms.

Sony announces which Xperia phones will get Jelly Bean

The cards are on the table - Sony just announced the update plan of its Xperia line. Here's the list of models that will get updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and also the ones that will remain stuck with 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Sony's latest high-end Xperia phones - the Xperia T, TX and V - will be updated to 4.1 Jelly Bean in mid-Q1 next year.

Next up are the global versions of Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J. The release date for the update will be announced later. It's still unclear what will happen to the localized versions.

And now, the ones left behind - the whole 2011 Xperia lineup (which got updated to ICS) will not be getting Jelly Bean because Sony "would not be able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand".

It's a bit disappointing that the Xperia J, which has a cut-down version of the Qualcomm chipset that powers the 2011 Xperias, is getting JB but the older models are not.

LG and Google to partner to make next Nexus Device

The new Nexus phone, presumed to be called the LG Nexus 4, has been reviewed ahead of its rumored launch date of October 29th.

Onliner, the same website that leaked the LG Nexus 4 several times this week, posted a full review of the device complete with detailed specifications as well as a side-by-side photo op with the previous Nexus smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The review details some information that we had not known yet including the new Nexus phone’s size, weight and more. Apparently, the phone is 9.2mm thin which means that it’s much thicker than the iPhone 5 which is 7.6mm thin. It also weighs 139 grams, also heavier than the iPhone 5. The device is also thicker than the Galaxy Nexus by .03mm. It’s also wider but shorter than the Galaxy Nexus.
The back of the new Nexus phone, unlike the Galaxy Nexus’, possesses no hump. It’s flush. The review also claims that the back is both smooth and glossy which could mean that it’s made of scratch-resistant glass. They took a key to the back to try and scratch it and could not do so.

The new Nexus phone does not contain any metal elements in its design. Instead, it’s made of plastic, just like the Galaxy Nexus.

Its display, which measures 4.7-inches, is a True IPS display which means that its not PenTile Matrix.The screen sports HD resolution, something that does not differ from the previous Nexus smartphone.

LG Nexus 4 has an 8MP rear camera, no pins for accessories, and it appears that the phone is running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, the latest from Google. It’s certainly possible that it could launch with Android 4.2 on board but at this point, it’s unclear.
