Ones, Galaxys and more - it's like a rubbish version of the Matrix
Google has just unveiled its latest version of Android, an iterative update to Jelly Bean known as Android 4.3 - and both HTC and Samsung are eying it with interest.
Unfortunately, HTC couldn't tell us if or when Android 4.3 would come to the HTC range, nor which handsets would be in line for the update, despite Google itself confirming that the Google Edition HTC One would be getting the update "soon".
But HTC's senior global online communications manager Jeff Gordon told us, "We're reviewing Android 4.3 to see how this update fits into our plans."

The company hopes to have more info for us soon - and we hope that info will be, "Yeah, sure, we'll be bringing Android 4.3 to the whole line-up... tomorrow!"
Samsung is sadly being more direct on a timescale, and it's not good news. It told TechRadar: "Samsung UK will confirm upgrade plans to Android 4.3 to selected Galaxy devices in the coming months".
This means that it could be 2014 until we start seeing Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 updates...we just can't wait for the reams of stories about the rumours of this update coming.
What we do know is that the new Nexus 7 will be the first new device to come with Android 4.3, while the Neuxs 4, old Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus handsets should be receiving the update from today, with the Google Edition Samsung Galaxy S4 and Google Edition HTC One next in line.
