Android 4.4, KitKat Update Release Date Set for October

The Android 4.4, KitKat update release date is set for sometime in Oct.

The German KitKat team gave up the timeframe for the software's launch on their Facebook page. When they were asked about when it would be coming they quickly shot back with "Android 4.4 KIT KAT is available in October."

The Android 4.4, KitKat update could support devices with 64-bit chips.

A recent presentation that took place at Intel hinted at the company working together with Android on a 64-bit product that would run Google's OS. However, KitKat was not mentioned during the presentation.

Samsung has already confirmed that its future mobile devices will have 64-bit support. Apple's iPhone 5S will be the first official 64-bit smartphone on the market.

Intel's Bay Trail Atom chips offer 64-bit support, according to Android Authority. A future Samsung or Android product could be using these chips in the future.

ARM's next-gen of mobile chips will also come with 64-bit support.

Sundar Pichai made an appearance during the event to discuss Chrome and Android and spent most of his time talking about increasing the presence of its eco-system. He did not touch on anything related to 64-bits.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 could both feature 64-bit CPUs, according to a statement made by Samsung earlier this month.

"Not in the shortest time. But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality," said Shin Jong-kyun, Samsung's mobile business chief, adding that he followed the media coverage of Apple's new iPhone.

He also implied that Samsung's market share in China would remain intact despite the increase in brand awareness Apple made with the new iPhone 5C.

"Samsung understands that Apple intends to boost its mobile business in China, as well as Japan, meaning we should try harder in these countries,"

How to Install Ubuntu on PC

Using a DVD?

It’s easy to install Ubuntu from a DVD. Here’s what you need to do:

Put the Ubuntu DVD into the DVD-drive

Restart your computer. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the DVD.

If you don’t get this menu, read the booting from the DVD guide for more information.

Using a USB drive?

Most newer computers can boot from USB. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the CD.

If your computer doesn’t automatically do so, you might need to press the F12 key to bring up the boot menu, but be careful not to hold it down - that can cause an error message.

Prepare to install Ubuntu

• We recommend you plug your computer into a power source
• You should also make sure you have enough space on your computer to install Ubuntu
• We advise you to select Download updates while installing and Install this third-party software now
• You should also stay connected to the internet so you can get the latest updates while you install Ubuntu
• If you’re not connected to the internet, we’ll help you set up wireless at the next step

Set up wireless

If you are not connected to the internet, you will be asked to select a wireless network, if available. We advise you to connect during the installation so we can ensure your machine is up to date. So, if you set up your wireless network at this point, it’s worth then clicking the Back button to go back to the last screen (Preparing to install Ubuntu) and ticking the box marked ’Download updates while installing’.

Allocate drive space

Use the checkboxes to choose whether you’d like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu, or — if you’re an advanced user — choose the ’Something else’option

Begin the installation

Depending on your previous selections, you can now verify that you have chosen the way in which you would like to install Ubuntu. The installation process will begin when you click the Install Now button.

Ubuntu needs about 4.5 GB to install, so add a few extra GB to allow for your files.

Not sure about this step? Windows users can use the Windows installer, which will install and uninstall Ubuntu in the same way as any other Windows application. It’s simpler and completely safe.

Select your location

If you are connected to the internet, this should be done automatically. Check your location is correct and click’Forward’ to proceed. If you’re unsure of your time zone, type the name of the town you’re in or click on the map and we’ll help you find it.

Select your preferred keyboard layout

Click on the language option you need. If you’re not sure, click the ’Detect Keyboard Layout’ button for help.

Enter your login and password details

the system installs…

…or make a cup of tea!

That’s it.

All that’s left is to restart your computer and start enjoying Ubuntu!
