Glass has kinda faded into the background, until the past couple of days. And that’s because of Android Wear. Google basically dropped – or it seemed like they did – Glass in favor of Android Wear. Which was much, much more affordable, and seemed to have a much better experience for users. However, on Thursday, Google announced that Tony Fadell who is in charge of Nest, was going to be taking over for Glass. But not really. Basically, Fadell is still in charge of Nest, and Glass’ current head is still in charge, she just reports to Fadell now.
Google also announced that the Explorer program was ending on January 19th, and that Glass had graduated from the Experimental labs and is going to be it’s own branch inside the company. Which means, no Glass is not dead. Glass may never be as popular as Android, or Android Wear due to its natural ability to make people uncomfortable. But it does have a purpose, and I think it’s great for doctors, and even coaches on the sideline. Because you get a great view of surgeries and games, respectively. In the medical field, it would be a great teaching tool for teaching hospitals, as they can watch exactly what the doctor that is performing the surgery sees.
So what’s next for Glass? Well now that it’s no longer part of Google X, we’ll likely see some new hardware come out later this year, if not next year. Remember, Tony Fadell is the mastermind behind the original iPod from Apple, and Nest thermostat doesn’t look to bad either. So he has plenty of hardware experience, so we could see an even sleeker model of Glass coming soon. However, that takes time. And I wouldn’t expect to see it until at least next year or later. I also think we’ll see a huge drop in price on the Play Store. Remember the $1500 was for the opportunity to help beta test the product. Google said over and over again that was not going to be the price when it’s out of beta and available to the public. What the price will be, we don’t know. But I’m hoping it’ll be around the $500 mark.
Those of you that were Glass Explorers out there, head to the comments down below and let us know what you thought about the Explorers program, and also let us know where you think the Glass program is going from here. Do you think it’s dead? Do you think it’ll be available to everyone later this year (Remember Google I/O is just a few months away now)? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.

In the last couple of days, we’ve seen Samsung linked with buying BlackBerry, something quickly denied by both manufacturers. And it’s been a while since another company has been linked with a story about buying BlackBerry and I thought it sensible to dig a little deeper into what BlackBerry bring to the industry, because for some readers it might be a little surprising how deep their roots go. To summarise, there are four legs to BlackBerry’s business: handsets, enterprise solutions and QNX. Let’s take a look at these and how Samsung might benefit from BlackBerry.
When it comes to handsets, BlackBerry is in something of a mess. Their products are pleasant to use and in some respects, innovative, but are not competitive against the iPhone and Android competition. There’s no cell phone hardware keyboard like a BlackBerry keyboard, but hardware keyboards are out of fashion. BlackBerry 10, based on QNX (more on this later) can handle some Android applications and as a user experience, combines elements of Android and Web OS. I prefer it to Windows Phone, especially as it can run many Android applications. I am trying not to imagine BlackBerry 10 under a TouchWiz interface, but with Samsung’s marketing budget, I can see BlackBerry 10 devices succeeding where currently they are not. Samsung already use Android, Windows Phone and Tizen operating systems for their devices: I am not so sure how viable four mobile operating systems is for one business, but I do see Samsung working hard to remove their dependence on Android.
The enterprise solution leg of BlackBerry revolves around the BES, BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This is the corporate device management system that’s been in use for fifteen years now through successive generations. It isn’t an exciting product, but it brings in the profits year after year: BES is used by thousands of private and public companies across the world and has a proven track record of being easy to administer, easy to deploy and reliable. Samsung’s KNOX has been less successful and although Samsung has bolted-on BlackBerry’s encryption process, BlackBerry still has market inertia here. Acquiring BlackBerry and of course the BES business would add something to Samsung’s bottom line year on and give their engineers more scope for improving KNOX.
And then there’s the QNX operating system, which BlackBerry acquired in 2010. QNX has an interesting history, being founded by a couple of students in 1980 and quickly gaining commercial success. It’s known for its reliability and is used in a number of different areas including in-car infotainment (Apple’s CarPlay runs over QNX), aerospace, defence, security, medical and safety-based embedded systems. QNX’s reputation for reliability is because of how the operating system works, which is that almost all processes may be stopped and restarted without impacting another. It’s also a lightweight operating system: QNX could evolve into a superb platform for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, which would put it into direct competition against Samsung’s Tizen. If Samsung were to acquire QNX (by acquiring BlackBerry) this would ultimately remove one obstacle in the way of their dominance of the Internet of Things market.
The fourth leg is BlackBerry’s patent portfolio. It’s difficult to value a patent, but the overall could top billions of dollars simply because a patent protects the business from being sued. BlackBerry owns many encryption patents too, somewhere over 130 and many of these are used by government agencies. The perception of cybercrime is that it’s rising and so these patents’ value could increase over time and more and more people wish to keep their information safe. Google bought Motorola for the patents, which it’s using for the benefit of all Android manufacturers. It’s the patent portfolio that’s probably the most valuable part of BlackBerry, but a very difficult part of the business to value!
If Samsung were to buy BlackBerry, I would expect the business to suffer from indigestion for at least a year at it absorbs the various components and integrates them into its own business. The new Sam-Berry business would have many challenges but also many opportunities; when I look to Samsung at the moment I see a business already grappling with challenges and opportunities. I am not so sure that buying another business is the most sensible approach: Samsung has already driven down the Tizen IoT road too far to make a U-turn sensible. On the other hand, from personal experience the best time I deal with a challenge is when I already have another one I am tackling.

In spite of the year just starting, OnePlus have been making a few headlines in 2015. That is due to the new year bringing with it anticipation of what OnePlus might bring out this year to follow on from the OnPlus One. As such, we have started to hear detailed rumors about the OnePlus Two. The most recent of these was that the OnePlus Two will come with the same 5.5” screen on the OnePlus One, but with a better resolution (in the form of QHD). It will also apparently offer better performance due to the rumored inclusion of the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. Not to mention it was also rumored to come with 4GB RAM, a 3,300mAh battery and will be expected to be running on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) out of the box.
Interestingly, we also heard suggestions from Carl Pei (OnePlus CEO) that there might even be two OnePlus devices coming to market this year. Of course, details about this second mystery device were not provided, although it was suggested that this might be more of a ‘design killer’ than a spec orientated ‘flagship killer’. However, in spite of all this talk about the OnePlus Two and the mystery design-killing other OnePlus device, the original OnePlus One is still not largely available. The year following the launch of the device and those interested in it, still need an invite to purchase the One.
Well, that is except for January 20th. This morning OnePlus have announced that on January 20th no invite will be needed to pick up the device. If you want the One you can simply just buy one. It is worth noting though, that this is not an all day event. In fact, similar to past sales, it will only be available for two hours. If you are in Asia it will be between 7pm and 9pm HKT. If you are in Europe then it will be between 7pm and 9pm GMT. Lastly, if you are in North America then the sale will be open again between 7pm and 9pm EST. At first, it might seem strange that the sale is commencing at different times (albeit always 7 to 9pm) in different areas but this is probably how OnePlus have decided to deal with the influx of customers. If you remember, last time they did a two-hour sale their servers were overwhelmed resulting in website issues for a number of people. So this staggered approach might mean if you do seriously want a One, you might be able to get it. Remember, January 20th, 7pm – 9pm locally to where you are.

Say Google, is there something big you're hiding in the latest version of the YouTube Android app that justifies a massive jump in the version number? Because if you are, we can't find it. The YouTube app currently propagating across the Play Store is version 10.02.3, a huge jump from the previous (and not altogether different) 6.0.3. The newer version adds a grid-based share menu and a few changed icons and brings back the voice search option, plus a few changes under the hood, but it's a very strange jump for a comparatively small update.

The news that Intel’s mobile division lost $4.2 billion in 2014 sounds damning; quarter after quarter, Intel keeps on pumping its processors into mobile devices and quarter after quarter, it keeps on losing money. Sooner or later, this money will dry up, surely? However, as Intel’s Chief Executive Officer Brian Krzanich has reported, it isn’t all bad news. In 2014, 46 million Intel-powered tablets were sold, greater than the target of 40 million. If so many tablets using Intel silicon have been sold, how can Intel still be losing money? As we have reported here at Android Headlines, Intel has been subsidizing these tablet manufacturers by selling their processors at or very close to cost plus covering a proportion of the development costs. Intel have been paying for tablet manufacturers to redesign their tablets in favour of Intel Atom processors at the expense of ARM processors. Intel’s growth in this area may be cut short when the company kills these subsidizes; Intel has been trading profit for mindshare and customer awareness (both the consumer and the manufacturers). 2015 will be the start of their new way of working mobile: they are currently one of the largest merchant tablet processor providers.
Intel are also making changes to their product lineup to reduce manufacturing costs, too, and have manufacturing agreements in place with Rockchip and Spreadtrum. Their intention is to save $800 million in costs in 2015. This will allow them to sell processor chipsets at the existing low prices and make money from the product. The company is working on a new line, SoFIA, which is an integrated application processor and baseband chip. They are currently working on getting the 3G version carrier-certified, which will be followed by a 4G LTE version later in the year and the company believe they can grow their business in line with the market and turn the losses into profits. We’ve heard that Intel is committed to the mobile sphere as it is one area of growth that remains, especially when we consider the Internet of Things and wearable devices, areas that Intel is active in.
The problem does not appear to be in the processors themselves; Intel scored the contract for Nokia’s first Android-powered tablet, the Nokia N1, which uses a 64-bit, quad core 2.3 GHz processor. From my personal experience, Intel’s current Atom range of processors is competitive for normal, everyday tablet duties as any other manufacturer, but like most other manufacturers, loses out on gaming abilities compared with the Nvidia Tegra family. Intel have much to prove but much to gain from sticking in the mobile sector.

Considering how popular the various high-profile music services have become on Android, it's a little strange that none of them have offered something like NextSong built in. It's strange, that is, until you remember how slow most of them are to conform to new Android functions like heads up notifications. In any case, music fans should definitely check out this handy app from independent developer Reactiv Sudios, whom we've featured before on Android Police.

About a year and a half ago when David Ruddock reviewed JBL's Charge portable speaker, he came away with an excellent impression, with the only caveat being that it might be a little too pricey. That problem has been alleviated by Amazon, at least for today: the online retailer has given the Charge a $60 price drop on the Gold Box deal portal. That's a great price, but it also means that the discount is available for one day only.
