From CNET: Handset maker HTC said Wednesday that it plans to bring Google's newest Android operating system to its flagship phones as soon as it's able, though it couldn't yet provide a timeline.
The move is part of the company's campaign to retain customers amid years of flagging sales. Despite selling critically acclaimed products, the Taiwan company has tumbled out of the top rankings of smartphone makers, unable to match the much larger advertising budgets of powerhouses such as Samsung or Apple.
Google used its annual I/O developer conference on Wednesday to unveil its latest version of Android, dubbed "L," which includes a revamped notification system, an updated user interface, and a new battery-saving mode.
HTC soon after said it plans to update its HTC One M8 and the One M7, last year's flagship phone, to run on Android L "within 90 days of receiving final software from Google."
