Marshmallow doubles its stake in Android platform … – AndroidGeek

As usual in Google at the beginning of each month they offer the Android system adoption report. In this latest update finally checks-a significant increase in devices running the latest version of the mobile operating system, Android Marshmallow.
Now with 4.6% market share against the 2.3 that were announced last March, does provide that eventually Android Marshmallow began to grow. The 4.6% is still a very small number of devices running an operating system older than 6 months of existence, and when testing the Android N have started, but still this rise to double, is very encouraging.

who continues to grow although at a milder pace than has been usual, is the Android Lollipop it won 0.3% market share, and will now have 35.8%, cementing the leadership that had taken last report.

the one who was the Android king for a long time, Android KitKat continues a line descending losing this month 0.9% going to have 33.4%, but still in the vice leadership of the list.
Android Jelly Bean now has 21.3% stake, saw its share has declined 1 % this past month.

With the advance of months we will see the Android Marshmallow ultimately increase their market share. However the appearance of Android N can make version 6 slow down a bit, since manufacturers may already be taking steps to skip upgrading the M directly to the N.

the two technology giants now dispute the preference of drivers, but Google went ahead with their autonomous cars, which already run tests in the United States.

how it works
the big difference to use Android Auto instead of the own smartphone or a mirror system, such as MirrorLink is that all applications are adapted for use in the car.

This means that most commands are done by voice and interactions with others are eliminated to avoid distractions. For this reason, Facebook is unlikely to be approved by Google. The Whatsapp, at least, it works well. You can listen and reply to messages.

Another advantage is not having to be holding the phone while driving, which, as well as unsafe, is prohibited and may give fine. It is also not necessary to fit the device in some support in the car. All compatible applications appear directly in the multimedia vehicle center.

While the device is connected, a flat screen blocks any action on the phone, or if you want to use an application that is not ready to Android Auto, you must unplug the phone.

security
according to Ferreira, the system ensures more safety to the driver and also from hackers. Recently, the FBI warned vehicle owners about the risk of hacker invasion, which has arrived to control a vehicle.

For the executive, Android Auto users will benefit from Google’s high level of concern the security. In July 2015, Fiat Chrysler has recalled 1.4 million vehicles in the United States to update the media center that was targeted by hackers.

Android Auto is a smarter and convenient way to use embedded systems for vehicles, to replace the slow interface and unfriendly car for something very close to what you are used to the look of Google. Just a compatible car like the Accord, Cobalt, Voyage, Saveiro, Fox, CrossFox, SpaceFox, SpaceCross, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle and even the popular Gol, from any Android smartphone that is at least in version 5.0 of the system mobile operating Google and a USB cable. Plugging all together and Android Auto installed on your smartphone, very similar to Google Now interface appears, with cards for notifications, media control, ability to respond and send messages and see the layout of the route on Google Maps, direct the console screen.

There are other models and manufacturers that promise to deliver compatible vehicles such as Fiat, Mitsubishi and Ford this year. If you do not want to spend money on a new car and not choose the comaptível model with the feature (which, in all the cars that we speak here is not the cheapest model), you can install Android Auto and run a device sound that can be in any vehicle market, as F70TV model from Pioneer, which costs about R $ 2.8000 – cheaper than a new car, not
