Rumor will the first ice cream sandwich device launch in october

ice-cream-sandwich-android.png

We hope you’re in the mood for some more Ice Cream Sandwich rumors (who isn’t?), because we have a pretty big one for you today. According to BGR, Google and its partners will release the first Ice Cream Sandwich devices this October. BGR explains that Google has decided to push up the release of Ice Cream Sandwich in order to better compete with the iPhone 5.

As you might or might not know, the latest rumors point to an October release for the iPhone 5. Would Google really rush the release of Ice Cream Sandwich because of the iPhone 5? Personally, I don’t think Google would shuffle its roadmap around just to steal the spotlight away from Apple and its shiny new phone. A stunt like this one could hurt Android more than it could help it. After all, releasing a half-baked product just to beat a deadline hasn’t really worked out for Google before (read: Honeycomb).

If you take a look at the release date of previous versions of Android, you’ll notice that they’re all over the place. With almost all versions being released on a different month. Google, it seems, hasn’t really picked a time of the year to release a new version of Android. Because of that, I think Google will keep working at its own pace and release Ice Cream Sandwich once it feels is ready for prime time. Whether that will be in October, November or December is anyone’s guess.


I rather not have the Android Team/Google rush things, like honeycomb.


Facebook Messenger

f-1024-0

Facebook has just announced the release of Facebook Messenger, a new application for Android devices that aims to simplify and quicken the exchange of messages between you and Facebook friends or individuals in your phone’s contact list.

Facebook Messenger is essentially an alternative SMS application that attempts to differentiate itself by adding integration with the largest social network on the planet. If you happen to be messaging a Facebook friend, all your interactions with that person on Facebook such as texts, chats, email and messages will be featured in the conversation history. Moreover, when you send messages to your Facebook friends, it will both send a notification and text message to the other user to ensure they receive the message as quickly as possible.

Facebook is highlighting how easily their new application allows you to send group messages, a feature that has been available in Android’s stock messaging since I’ve been using Android at least–probably dating back to the G1. One cool addition to the group messaging functionality is the ability to share your location with the group, so it’s easier to track everyone down. It’s especially helpful when having group events.

All in all, it’s hard for me to see the real differentiating factor here. Unless I’m missing something, most (if not all) these features can be achieved with a combination of the Facebook for Android application (which already notifies you when you have a new incoming message), and the stock messaging application.

But I’m certainly no expert when it comes to Facebook, so I turn to you, the reader. Are you planning to install the Facebook Messaging application when it launches later today? Either as a replacement for or supplement to the stock messaging application? Are you happy to stick to Facebook for Android and the stock messaging app for all your SMS needs? Or have you given up on Facebook altogether and migrated to Google+? Sound off in the comments below.

Regardless of how you feel about this new application, I’m sure many of you will head over to the market and check it out. We’ll update this post once we notice it’s gone live, which should be a bit later on today.

UPDATE: The app is now live on the Market. You can go ahead and download it right here.
