Do you Know about Android 1.5 cupcake? or Honeycomb?

Surprising Facts About Android you Probably din't know. 

OMG facts by lukng.com


                              Nowadays Google and Android are synonymous with each other, but you may be surprised to find out that was not always the case. Android was founded in 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. The founders had strong ties to T-Mobile. Andy Rubin created the ultra-popular T-Mobile Sidekick, and Nick Sears was vice president at T-Mobile. So you can see why T-Mobile landed the first Android phone.

It wasn’t until 2005 that Google acquired Android Inc. Rubin, Miner, and White all stayed with Android through the acquisition. Together they developed what we now know as the Android OS. In fact Rubin’s nickname is where the name “Android” came from. Many people consider Android to be one of Google’s best acquisitions. 10 years after the acquisition Android has ballooned to control 85% of the smartphone OS market share.

2.The first Android prototype looked like a Blackberry


Many people believe that if it wasn’t for the iPhone the first Android device would have looked drastically different. In 2007, before Apple showed off the original iPhone, the first Android prototype was floating around. The device called “Sooner” had a portrait keyboard, call and end buttons, track pad, and no touchscreen. The Android UI even resembled the Blackberry interface.

Then the iPhone was announced. It had no physical keyboard, a big display for the time, and a revolutionary touchscreen interface. The next Android device we saw after that, the T-Mobile G1, also had a big display and a touchscreen interface. The Blackberry-esque prototype never came to market. We can’t say for certain that the iPhone had any effect on Google’s vision for Android, but it wouldn’t be out of the question.

3. The first Android device didn’t even have a virtual keyboard or 3.5mm headset jack



If you would go back to 2008 and tell the world that nearly all phones in the future won’t have physical keyboards you would be laughed out of the building. At that time the most popular phone was a Blackberry, which of course has an iconic keyboard. The idea of a device without a keyboard didn’t become popular until the original iPhone, but even then there were many skeptics.

Even the first Android device, the T-Mobile G1, came with a slide-out physical keyboard, but you might be more surprised to learn what it didn’t have. The G1 shipped with Android 1.1 and no virtual keyboard. You had to use the physical keyboard to type, which meant you couldn’t do any one-handed typing. The G1 finally got a virtual keyboard six mounths later with android 1.5.
The other thing the G1 didn’t have could not be fixed with a software update. HTC inexplicably did not include a tradition 3.5mm headphone jack in the G1. Instead it came with a proprietary adapter you had to use. This was a common complaint in reviews for the G1.


4 . Android versions from the beginning


Android 1.0

Android was originally conceived as a touch interface for cameras before Google saw its potential and pulled out its cheque book. The first commercially available version of Android for mobile phones was released in September 2008, on the HTC Dream handset. The candy-flavoured names were yet to be introduced, so this version was imaginatively titled Android 1.0.
Its features were basic, but many of them still exist today. There was a simple web browser and support for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps and YouTube, as well as the Google Talk messenger app. 

Android 1.1

A pretty inconsequential update to Android 1.0, this added a few simple features to existing apps such as showing reviews in Google Maps business searches.

Android 1.5 Cupcake

Finally, a sweet name for an increasingly sweet mobile OS. Android 1.5 Cupcake brought in widget support, animated transitions when skipping through your desktops, the ability to automatically rotate the screen when you turn your phone and a stock boot animation. Nice.

Android 1.6 Donut
In 2009 we had Cupcake's successor, nicknamed Donut. As you may have noticed, Google chose to advance through the alphabet with every major Android release, selecting a different confectionary for each one.
Donut gave us improved search functionality, a speedier all-round experience, and support for super-sharp (at the time) 480x800 pixel screens.

Android 2.0 Eclair

Android Eclair brought a number of important changes, hence the boost to version number 2.0. Personalisation was a key component, with the likes of live wallpapers and support for multiple desktops introduced.






Android 2.2 Froyo

Froyo allowed Android users to control their phones without touching them, using voice typing and search. You could also now install apps on a memory card, which was a massive relief as most phones packed a measly 4 to 8GB of storage space.



Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Selfie camera support paved the way for endless Facebook glamour shots, while improved performance meant Android was slicker than ever. Gingerbread also added NFC, gyroscope and barometer support.

Android 3.0 Honeycomb

Honeycomb stands out in Android history as the only version developed specifically for tablets. Interface elements like the virtual keyboard were optimised for bigger screens and you had support for multi-core processors, which soon became the norm.







Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Android ice cream sandwich hit phones in 2011, bringing an all-new look and feel to Android. You could also now close apps with a quick swipe, shoot 1080p video and unlock your phone with your face, where supported.



Android 4.1 to 4.3 Jelly Bean

Android Jelly Bean made Google's OS more responsive than ever, improving search functionality and introducing the ability to share files with your friends using Android Beam.




Android 4.4 KitKat

Android KitKat introduced the 'OK Google' voice command for starting Google Now, as well as better message management, Emoji support and improved multi-tasking.


Android 5.0 Lollipop


Android Lollipop hit our phones in 2014 and brought multiple profiles on one device, the 'no interruptions' feature to get some peace and an all-new notifications bar. You could also now unlock your phone with a trusted Bluetooth device.






Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Android Marshmallow was unveiled by Google in September 2015, improving battery life and adding cool new features like Now on Tap and fingerprint sensor support.



Android 7.0 Nougat

   Android Nougat's features came first and the public helped pick the name, which was made official at the end of June, 2016. As well as improving general performance and battery management thanks to a feature called Doze, Nougat also brought handy features like native split-screen multitasking to the stock Android experience.

MS Dhoni's collection of cars, bikes

Check Out MS Dhoni's Bikes and Cars Collections!

It is a well known fact that the captain of the Indian Cricket Team is a bike lover. According to reports, his bike collection consists of around 23 bikes. This includes classics, superbikes, and some exotics as well. When it comes to cars, the world cup winning captain’s collection pales in comparison to his bike collection. But there are still a few interesting specimens in his garage. We did some digging and managed to unearth a list of bikes and cars of MS Dhoni.





BIKES

Norton Jubilee 250

The second vintage bike in MS Dhoni Cars and Bikes collection is the Norton Jubilee 250. The cricketer shared a picture on Instagram of his bike. As the name suggests, it draws power from a 250cc engine. 


BSA Goldstar

One of the two classic motorcycles in MS Dhoni’s bike collection is the BSA Goldstar. It was one of the first British Motorcycles to breach the 100 km/h mark. It draws power from a 500cc engine. Here is a picture of MS Dhoni astride his BSA Goldstar.

Yamaha Thundercat

This is one perhaps one of the most famous sports tourers of its time. The Yamaha Thundercat or YZF600R was manufactured between 1996 and 2007. It came with a 599 cc engine that made around 88 bhp.

More than a year back, Dhoni put up a picture on Instagram of a Suzuki Shogun with the caption, “How many of u agree this was 1 of the most exciting 2stroke single cylinder bikes to ride,need to restore mine quickly.” We have not see the final result of the restoration anywhere.


Yamaha RD350

The Yamaha RD350 or Rajdoot has a cult following in India. And like any bike lover, Dhoni is a fan too. Apparently, the RD350 was the first bike he bought. Following years of neglect, the bike ended up looking like this. However, he has now completely restored the bike. Also, this isn’t the only RD350 in his possession.

Ducati 1098

Finding a place in MS Dhoni’s bike garage is the Ducati 1098. The 1098 was sold from 2007-2008 internationally and was also available in India. At the time, it was on sale for around 25-30 lakhs. The 1099 cc engine that powers the bike makes around 160 hp. It was succeeded by the Ducati 1198.

Harley Davidson FatBoy

Next up on our list of the MS Dhoni Cars and Bikes is the Harley Davidson Fatboy. This cruiser can be bought in India for a little over 17 lakhs. It comes with a 1690 cc engine that makes 65 bhp. Dhoni has been spotted riding around Ranchi on this one on numerous occasions.




MS Dhoni’s love for bike bikes continues with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. It gets 4 cylinder 1441 cc engine that puts out 197.39 bhp of maximum power. It boasts a top speed of 335 km/h! The bike is available in India at Rs. 16.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The ZX-14R is the saner of the two Ninjas Mahendra Singh Dhoni owns.



This is probably one of the rarest bikes in the world as only 150 exist. MS Dhoni is the only South East Asian customer to own one of these crazy machines. Other owners include A-Listers such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds. The Hellcat draws power from a 2.2 L V-Twin that churns out 132 hp and 200 Nm. Dhoni took his bike for a spin at the Buddh International Circuit too.





Kawasaki Ninja H2. It gets 998 cc 4 cylinder engine that benefits from supercharging. Maximum power output stands at 200 hp @ 11000 rpm and peak torque at 134 Nm @ 10500 rpm. Dhoni bought the bike earlier this year. The 2017 model Kawasaki Ninja H2 is on sale in India for Rs. 33.30 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
