"Threshold" to be Called Windows 9, Ship in April 2015
Microsoft tries to put Windows 8 in the rear-view mirror
At the BUILD developer conference in April 2014, Microsoft will discuss its vision for the future of Windows, including a year-off release codenamed "Threshold" that will most likely be called Windows 9. Here's what I know about the next major release of Windows.
As a kind of recap, we know that Microsoft will update Windows 8.1 in 2014, first with a service pack/feature pack-type update called Update 1 (or GDR1 internally). I wrote a bit about this update recently in Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Very Early) Preview but the expectation is that it will ship in April 2014 alongside Windows Phone 8.1, the development of which Microsoft will soon complete.
Also in April, of course, is BUILD 2014. That show will hit just weeks after Microsoft completes its corporate reorganization and will surprisingly be very much focused on Windows Phone and Xbox, according to my sources. But I think Windows watchers will agree that the biggest news from the show will be an announcement about Microsoft's plans for the next major Windows version, codenamed "Threshold."
I previously wrote about Threshold in Microsoft to Take Windows to the "Threshold", Further Changes Coming in Windows "Threshold" and Big Changes Are Coming to Windows. This is the release my sources previously pegged as being the one that will see the return of the Start menu and the ability to run Metro-style apps on the desktop alongside desktop applications.
But Threshold is more important than any specific updates. Windows 8 is tanking harder than Microsoft is comfortable discussing in public, and the latest release, Windows 8.1, which is a substantial and free upgrade with major improvements over the original release, is in use on less than 25 million PCs at the moment. That's a disaster, and Threshold needs to strike a better balance between meeting the needs of over a billion traditional PC users while enticing users to adopt this new Windows on new types of personal computing devices. In short, it needs to be everything that Windows 8 is not.
Here's what I've learned about Threshold.
Windows 9. To distance itself from the Windows 8 debacle, Microsoft is currently planning to drop the Windows 8 name and brand this next release as Windows 9. That could change, but that's the current thinking.
BUILD vision announcement. In case it's not obvious that the Sinofsky era is over, Microsoft will use BUILD to provide its first major "vision" announcement for Windows since, yes, Longhorn in 2003. Don't expect anything that grandiose, but the Windows team believes it needs to hit a happy middle ground between the KGB-style secrecy of the Sinofsky camp and the freewheeling "we can do it all" days that preceded that. As important, the firm understands that customers need something to be excited about.
No bits at BUILD. Microsoft will not be providing developers with an early alpha release of "Threshold" at BUILD, and for a good reason: The product won't even begin development until later that month. Right now, Microsoft is firming up which features it intends to deliver in this release.
Metro 2.0. Maturing and fixing the "Metro" design language used by Windows will be a major focus area of Threshold. It's not clear what changes are coming, but it's safe to assume that a windowed mode that works on the desktop is part of that.
Three milestones. Microsoft expects to deliver three milestone releases of "Threshold" before its final release. It's unclear what these releases will be called (Beta, Release Candidate, etc.) or which if any will be provided to the public.
April 2015 release. Microsoft is currently targeting April 2015 for the release of Windows 9 "Threshold."
In some ways, the most interesting thing about Threshold is how it recasts Windows 8 as the next Vista. It's an acknowledgment that what came before didn't work, and didn't resonate with customers. And though Microsoft will always be able to claim that Windows 9 wouldn't have been possible without the important foundational work they had done first with Windows 8—just as was the case with Windows 7 and Windows Vista—there's no way to sugarcoat this. Windows 8 has set back Microsoft, and Windows, by years, and possibly for good.
These things don't happen in isolation—the big and slow Vista arrived inauspiciously just as netbooks were taking off and Windows 8 arrived just as media tablets changed everything—and it's fair to say that the technology world of today barely resembles that of 2006, creating new challenges for Windows. Threshold will target this new world. It could very well be a make or break release.
I'll let you know when I've learned more.

WhatsApp gets a minor update to fix message broadcast issue
WhatsApp for Windows Phone 8 devices has received an update today to v2.11.356. The new update does not include any new features, instead it includes a fix for issue with reception of broadcast messages.
The update does not yet include the ability to send music files, but we believe this may come in a future version.The update to the app can be found in the Windows Phone Store here.
Dashboards
This page provides information about the relative number of devices that share a certain characteristic, such as Android version or screen size. This information may help you prioritize efforts for supporting different devices by revealing which devices are active in the Android and Google Play ecosystem.
This data reflects devices running the latest Google Play Store app, which is compatible with Android 2.2 and higher. Each snapshot of data represents all the devices that visited the Google Play Store in the prior 7 days.
Note: Beginning in September, 2013, devices running versions older than Android 2.2 do not appear in this data because those devices do not support the new Google Play Store app. Only the new app is able to measure the number of devices that actively visit Google Play Store and we believe this measurement best reflects your potential user-base.
Platform Versions
This section provides data about the relative number of devices running a given version of the Android platform.
For information about how to target your application to devices based on platform version, read Supporting Different Platform Versions.
| Version | Codename | API | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 | Froyo | 8 | 1.3% |
| 2.3.3 - 2.3.7 | Gingerbread | 10 | 21.2% |
| 3.2 | Honeycomb | 13 | 0.1% |
| 4.0.3 - 4.0.4 | Ice Cream Sandwich | 15 | 16.9% |
| 4.1.x | Jelly Bean | 16 | 35.9% |
| 4.2.x | 17 | 15.4% | |
| 4.3 | 18 | 7.8% | |
| 4.4 | KitKat | 19 | 1.4% |
Data collected during a 7-day period ending on January 8, 2014.
Any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.
Any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.
Note: Because this data is gathered from the new Google Play Store app, which supports Android 2.2 and above, devices running older versions are not included. However, in August, 2013, versions older than Android 2.2 accounted for about 1% of devices that checked in to Google servers (not those that actually visited Google Play Store).
Screen Sizes and Densities
This section provides data about the relative number of devices that have a particular screen configuration, defined by a combination of screen size and density. To simplify the way that you design your user interfaces for different screen configurations, Android divides the range of actual screen sizes and densities into several buckets as expressed by the table below.
For information about how you can support multiple screen configurations in your application, read Supporting Multiple Screens.
| ldpi | mdpi | tvdpi | hdpi | xhdpi | xxhdpi | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 8.2% | 8.2% | |||||
| Normal | 0.1% | 14.2% | 33.0% | 20.1% | 10.6% | 78.0% | |
| Large | 0.9% | 4.5% | 1.7% | 0.6% | 0.7% | 8.4% | |
| Xlarge | 0.1% | 4.7% | 0.4% | 0.2% | 5.4% | ||
| Total | 9.3% | 23.4% | 1.7% | 34.0% | 21.0% | 10.6% |
Data collected during a 7-day period ending on January 8, 2014.
Any screen configurations with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.
Any screen configurations with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.
Open GL Version
This section provides data about the relative number of devices that support a particular version of OpenGL ES. Note that support for one particular version of OpenGL ES also implies support for any lower version (for example, support for version 2.0 also implies support for 1.1).
To declare which version of OpenGL ES your application requires, you should use the
android:glEsVersionattribute of the | OpenGL ES Version | Distribution |
|---|---|
| 1.1 only | 0.1% |
| 2.0 | 93.5% |
| 3.0 | 6.4% |

Lost Toys
Description
Lost Toys is a mentally engaging 3D puzzle game of profound beauty, depth and challenge. Toys are lost, broken, or forgotten. Fixing them promises to right this hauntingly gorgeous chamber and restore the childhood innocence that has been lost.
* Winner Best Game Design Award at Sense of Wonder Night 2013
* Winner Most Artistic at Codame Indie Games Developers Showcase
“The visuals on Lost Toys are incredible.” — Codame
“Lost Toys is the type of game you rarely see on mobile and tablet, which is why it seems so refreshing.” — Indie Haven
Spiral down to discover a surreal world populated by discarded, mixed-up toys hanging lifelessly from the ceiling. Reconstruct the jumbled toys to reveal their original shapes to progress through 4 chapters and 32 levels in this gothic masterpiece.
— Spin the petrified wooden toy in full 3D to study it from every angle.
— Rotate the scrambled pieces in the proper order to unravel the childhood toy.
— Only a few moves are ever necessary. Undo by tapping the filled circles.
— There are no timers, points, or scores. You won't miss them.
— Tap the (?) if you grow weary of the challenge.
— Replay levels as many times as you like. They’re reshuffled each time.
— Original soundtrack by Peter Rudenko. Best experienced with headphones.
** IMPORTANT ** — Requires at least an iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (5th gen) or newer.

[APK Download] Gmail 4.7.2 Update Adds Promised Auto-Show Images Feature
Google said it would do it, and now it has. The latest update to Android's Gmail app has enabled images automatically, now made safe because Google is serving up the images after hosting them on its own proxy servers. Users will no longer need to tap the "show pictures" message above the email content.
Left: old style. Right: 4.7.2.
What's New
We're looking through the application now to see if there are any more changes - this thing is so fresh that Google hasn't even updated the Play Store description. If you find something new, feel free to mention it in the comments section. Of course Google's rollout method means that you might not get the app from the Play Store for a few days, so if you want to play with it now, check out the download below. There should also be a pop-up notice of some kind informing users of the change, as demonstrated in these strings:
You can disable this functionality in the Gmail settings menu for your individual email accounts - see middle screenshot above. We'll update this post with any additional significant changes that are found. If you're wondering what's been added lately, you can check out our download pages forGmail 4.7 (vacation responder and KitKat printing, among other things), Gmail 4.6 (more Card UI elements), and Gmail 4.5.2 (return of the delete button).
Download
The APK is signed by Google and upgrades your existing app. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take days, download and install it just like any other APK.
File name: com.google.android.gm-4.7.2 (967015).apk
Version: 4.7.2 (967015).apk (Android 4.0+)
MD5: cc09aabcf06fceac022c06919e4669e8
