Android Gingerbread is ‘planned for Q4 2010′

He was doing work experience in a cafe for Christmas and had to put the adverts in the store window using a stencil and some snow spray. When he wasn’t looking I stenciled a ‘J’ over the ‘c’ in Mince Pie, broadcasting to the street that this cafe was the place to come to get your ‘Hot Minge Pies’.

As Apple’s iPhone platform matures, many developers have considered expanding their apps to Android, which is experiencing a growth spurt these days. Indeed, Android added more than 9,000 new apps in March — very impressive.

But for some of those developers, Apple’s iPad has provided a distraction. If this distraction continues — and if the iPad becomes a hugely successful platform — it could keep those developers focused on Apple’s products, and could cause some of them to postpone or reduce their plans to make Android apps.

For example, we spoke to a successful iPhone game developer yesterday, who has considered porting his games to Android for several months. But so far, he has released nothing for Google’s platform.

Yet his company rushed an iPad app for launch day, and has already had some success…

…Motorola’s new co-CEO Sanjay Jha has a plan to save the beleaguered mobile handset maker: go all-in on Google’s Android mobile operating system. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal (behind the pay wall):
Sanjay Jha, who also became Motorola’s co-chief executive in August, has decided to focus on Google Inc.’s Android operating system as the software platform for Motorola’s showcase phones, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Jha is expected to detail his plans which will likely include thousands of layoffs as early as Thursday when the company reports earnings, these people said.
The rumor is that Motorola will focus all of its efforts around three core operating systems for its phones, with Android becoming the central platform for mid-tier phones with Internet capability.
