Rumor Smash: No Cupcake for users. Is it reasonable?
I was intending to write a post about Cupcake rumors for some time now, but had my hands busy with other things, so although this post is delayed, it is albeit timeless opinion, at least untill we’ll see some of the promised enhancements to come in Cupcake. I know, you are thinking now, but wait, there is no Cupkace reportedly. First, it is unclear whether there is going to be a Cupcake firmware and if yes, whether it will be called “Cupcake”. However if you think about it, all the enhancements that were described as part of the legendary Cupckae will be eventually released. They can not not to be released (double negation, I wonder how that works for you, but for me it works quite ok …).
Anyway, NYT reports that Cupcake is not the new firmware but merely a name of a development tool used inhouse to build the firmware. Nevertheless the names and nicks and the rumors, I am certain we will get the on screen keyboard and we already got voice search (which doesn’t work that great). I had a conversation about voice engine for Android with the main engineer developing and deploying it, but I can’t share the details because it was under NDA.
So what are the conclusions? I say we just have to wait for all the updates to come and they surelly will.
