Google starts giving more developers the ability to reply to Google Play comments!
First Google gave some leading developers the ability to reply to user comments on Google Play last year, but now it looks like the company is letting more developers to use this feature. It’s still unclear when all developers can use that feature, but a spokesperson told to The Next Web that this feature is gradually expanding to additional Android developers. Developers can also reply once to a comment and Google outlines a few straightforward posting guidelines — namely, developer should “make it clear and relevant,” “be nice,” “don’t solicit or promote” and “keep it clean.” Users will also receive an email when developer reply to the comment.

Nexus 4 sales estimated at 375,000 by enthusiasts at XDA-developers!
There’s no LTE support for Nexus 4, but it seems that i doesn’t matter much, as the device is sold out in Google Play. In a thread in XDA-developers forum, the users has used serial numbers to see where and when their device was made, and give us a clue how many devices Google actually has sold. In that serial, first three letters produced tells the year, month and country where the Nexus 4 was made. Example, 212K, device was made in the 12th month of the year 2012 in Korea.
By using this system users were able to provide roughly how many devices were being produced per month, 70,000 in October, 90,000 in November, and 210,000 in December. There’s still many Google Play customers waiting their devices, but as you can see from the numbers Google and LG are trying to cope with the high demand, and manufacturing more and more Nexus 4 smartphones.
