• 6 Highlights of Google I/O Conference 2013 Keynote Speech

    Posted on May 16th, 2013 David Brooks No comments

    The 3-hour-long Google I/O keynote came with abundant announcements. Out of our expectations, the most anticipated Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will not be announced during Google I/O. and maybe Google thought they brought so many hardware devices in the last I/O conference, this Google I/O mostly focuses on software and service. There’s no Google Glass, Nexus Q, nor the rumored X Phone and new Nexus 7 tablet. The only device scheduled to appear in Google I/O is Google Galaxy S 4, the Google version of Samsung Galaxy S 4 with the native Android OS. Of course, every attendee would get a free Chrome Book Pixel as a gift, though still not a new thing.

    But you needn’t get disappointed. In the three hours keynote, many Google staff explained dozens of new functions and services, which are creative and attractive, like the Google Search, Google Maps, etc. To sum up, there’re at least 6 highlights of Google I/O conference 2013.

    Google Play Games Services

    Google Play Games Service

    Google, on the Google I/O conference, officially announced its brand-new gaming service, the Google Play Games Services, which has been reported before. This new gaming service is to compete with Apple’s GameCenter. Compared with GameCenter, the advantages of Google Play Games Services include its ability to save gaming progress online, sync between multiple devices including iOS and WEB, combine gaming chart to Google+, etc. New functions would be noticed via Google Play Services update.

    Google Play Music Services

    Google Play Music ServiceGoogle also brings new Google Play Music Serivces, which charges for $9.99 per month as preorder price in USA. Preorder before June 30 would save $2 per month. This new service provides people with ability to create music radio, personal recommendation, customization, etc. It’s still not clear whether it supports to save to local disk.

    Education

    Google built a Google Play app store exclusively for teachers. Students only need to get a Google account, then teachers could help them to select proper apps and push and install the apps on students’ tablets or PCs. Not only apps, but also books and videos could be done in such way. The Google Play educational version would start this fall, while receiving apps from developers from summer.

    Google+

    Google+

    Whether you think that Google+ is a Facebook competitor or not, the 41 features introduced today will get your attention. The stream itself, which now has 190 million monthly active users, is now three-columned and has interactive animations all over the place. Google says that the stream was flat, so it needed a fresh take.

    If you’re into taking photos, Google has finally integrated all of Nik’s professional photo suite goodies and will now auto-enhance your shots with something they call “Awesome.”

    Not a photographer, but chat with your friends a lot? GTalk, Talk, Google Chat or whatever you’ve been referring to it is gone. Hangouts is in, and it’s an app for iOS, Android and the desktop. It has video and text chats, complete with emoji and presence. We’re just glad that they didn’t call it Babel, which was the real internal name for the project.

    The takeaway here is that Google knows that you want to talk to your friends and family. It thinks that if it can integrate features to facilitate your communication from anywhere — at your desk or on your phone or tablet — they have you covered.

    Google Search

    Google Search

    Search is getting smarter these days. Google knows that you go to its site whenever you can’t think of something, but it wants you to be able to ask it questions naturally. You can do that on Android and iOS with Google Now, but the company announced conversational search for the desktop today. Speaking of Google Now, you can get public transit information, as well as details on your favorite TV shows, books and video games.

    Knowledge Graph, which fires in little snippets of information when you perform a search, added some new languages and statistics.

    The takeaway here is that Google wants even more of your searches, but would rather you sit back and relax while performing them. There’s no need to think about how to get the best search result, simply ask a question.

    Google Maps

    Google Maps

    Getting the gist yet? Google is refreshing all the things to make them easier to use, develop for and discuss with your Mom and Dad. Speaking of Mom and Dad, they probably use Google Maps to get just about everywhere.

    Mobile Maps users will get a new experience come summertime, while the desktop experience got such a complete overhaul that they’ve only made it available in preview mode as to not give anyone a heart attack. Want to see it for yourself? Check out our hands-on look.

    The takeaway here is that Google Maps has been a force for almost 10 years. It was time to make the product more user friendly, helping you discover new places and not just get from point A to point B.

  • Google I/O gets no Nexus smartphone but Google Galaxy S 4, report said

    Posted on May 15th, 2013 David Brooks No comments

    About smartphones to appear on Google I/O 2013, there have been various reports and rumors. There’re reports that suggest a next Nexus 4, probably named Nexus 5, would appear on Google I/O 2013. But according to the latest reports from Geek.com, the 2013 Google I/O conference would get no Nexus smartphone to release. Don’t feel disappointed, as it has been reported on the other hand that Google would announce a Google version of Samsung Galaxy S 4, a Galaxy S 4 with the primitive Android OS.

    Google Galaxy S4

    Known to all, Samsung Galaxy S 4 adopted TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 UI customized on Android 4.2.2 OS. This operating OS included many new features that belong to Samsung. But there are a large number of people who prefer to the primitive Androi OS on Samsung Galaxy S 4, which means a big market for a new Google Galaxy S 4. The Android OS in Google Galaxy S 4 would update more frequently than that of other manufacturers.

    The report didn’t mention the Android OS version of Google Galaxy S 4, but it’s highly possible to be the recently exposed Android 4.3, or even the rumored Android 5.0, as rumored. It is reported that Google Galaxy S 4 would be available for shipment in June, currently on T-Mobile only. People may wonder that whether it is the strategy of Google to gradually abandon Nexus series. We need to see this on Google I/O conference.

  • 4 Devices People Anticipated to Appear on 2013 Google I/O Conference

    Posted on May 7th, 2013 David Brooks No comments

    During May 15th and 17th, the tech giant Google would hold its 2013 Google I/O Conference in Moscone Center of San Francisco. People worldwide have been longing for this big event for long, and are all eager to know what Google would bring out during this annual event. In the past few months, people have done a great many guess work on the upcoming event, but the rumors and reports online seem to change people’s mind day by day. Currently, we could get what Google would bring to us in the Google I/O conference, but we could show our own anticipations towards this annual event. The following 4 devices are collected online, which are expected to appear in the big approaching event.

    Motorola X Phone

    X Phone

    The Motorola X Phone is without doubt what everyone wants to see at I/O, and though the belief is that the device will only hit shelves in July or August. Currently, the detailed information about this new smartphone is not much. It reportedly would come with a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor (some reported to be Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor), a 4.8-inch 1280×720 display, Android 4.2.2 (some rumored to be Key Lime Pie), 8 GB and 16 GB storage options  with no MicroSD expansion; 2 GB RAM and an 8MP camera.

    Next-gen Nexus 7

    Nexus 7.7

    Android fans will know that having a Nexus device is about the nicest treat. The devices are usually very well designed and have awesome specs. Not to mention the fact that they are the first in line to get updates.

    The Nexus brand hasn’t reached the tablet market until now, though. And Android fans have been praying for such a tablet to be released. If you fall under that category, you will be happy to know that Google has released the Nexus 7.

    The Nexus 7 is a 7-inch device with a Tegra 3 processor manufactured by ASUS. Also, this device is said to be a “Kindle Fire Killer” with a $200 price tag.

    Considering to the huge market desire and excellent performance, and the success of low-priced Nexus 7, a Nexus 7 refresh is in great need. There’re rumors then new Nexus 7 would be Nexus 7.7.

    Google Nexus 5

    Nexus 5

    There’re rumors indicating that we could see a different phone at Google I/O: The Google Nexus 5. The previous incarnation, the Google Nexus 4, has been immensely popular and has been selling out in stores across the U.S. The Nexus 5 is expected boost up some hardware specs, which customers complained were a little less impressive than the competition’s (especially the camera), and have an improved processor. However, sources close to Google have told Heavy that the Nexus 5 will come sometime in the Fall of 2013.

    Another Google Glass Presentation

    Google Glass

    Google Glass was introduced at Google I/O 2012 and continues to be a hot topic in the tech world. As wearable technology — including smartwatches — becomes more and more interesting to companies like Amazon, Samsung, Apple and Google, Google’s revolutionary eyeware has a chance to be as equally groundbreaking as the original iPhone was to the smartphone industry. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Google will not take this opportunity to show off some new features for Google Glass, which we’ve heard developers have been working on secretly.

  • Top 5 best free and worthy Google Reader alternatives for Android and iOS devices

    Posted on March 13th, 2013 David Brooks No comments

    You must have heard of this: Google has announced to shut down Google Reader in July 1, 2013. “We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites,” the company said. “While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.” Google Reader lets users subscribe to and read feeds from all manner of publishers, in a format that resembles an e-mail in-box. Once the service is shut down, people who have been used to Google Reader have to turn to other alternatives. Today, I would like to share 5 free and worthy Google Reader alternatives with all Android and iOS users that are in need of Google Reader service. These 5 alternatives are all free for both Android and iOS devices.


    Feedly

    feedly

    Feedly is a new way to browse the content of your favorite sites, RSS feeds, tumblr blogs and YouTube channels ON VARIOUS Web browsers and mobile devices running iOS and Android. Instead of having to hunt down for information, Feedly uses RSS to aggregate the contents of the news sites you like and deliver them as a fast mobile-optimized experience.

    The Feedly mobile application is available for iOS (iPhone, iPad), and Android devices. All versions of the app run on Streets (DevHD’s other project), which allows for the application to run on the same code for all devices. Running the same code across multiple platforms lets the developers release updates faster because they are only working with one version. Like its web counterpart, the mobile application employs a minimalistic interface that imitates a magazine spread. However, unlike the browser extension, the Feedly app cannot load an entire article. Instead, it will present a summary, and a link to the actual article. The mobile application acts as a browser on its own, so any redirects happen inside the app itself, as opposed to opening a separate internet browser. Additionally, the application adapts to the user, and will recommend posts based on what the user has read or shared in the past.

    Flipboard

    Flipboard

    If you’re not familiar with Flipboard, it’s a magazine-style news reader that has been wildly popular on iOS for quite some time. What gives it extra cool points is its ability to handle social media. See, Flipboard can integrate your social accounts into its feed, and present tweets or other status updates just as it would news stories or blog posts (complete with images and video thumbnails). Couple this with Flipboard’s gorgeous tiled interface, and it’s easy to see why the app is such a fan favorite.

    With its clean design, vibrant display of photographic tiles, and smooth page-flipping animation, Flipboard for Android is just as stunning as its iOS sibling. This visual appeal has always been the hallmark of the app.

    But Flipboard for Android isn’t just a pretty face. Functionally, it packs a punch, too, as it lets you add feeds from a number of different social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Instagram, Google+, and YouTube. You can compose status updates from within Flipboard, as well as share, retweet, +1, and Like others’ posts.

    As with other news reader apps, you can also add feeds from pretty much any news source or site with an RSS feed, or you can subscribe to a Flipboard-curated topic feed. Also, if you use a bookmarking service like Instapaper, Pocket, or Readability, you can integrate those as well.

    If you use Google Reader, you can load that up, too. However, Flipboard doesn’t let you swipe through individual sources within your Google Reader account, which is disappointing. Meanwhile, another app in the category, Feedly, handles Google Reader beautifully, as it can two-way sync, and even mark items as read with a quick swipe.

    One thing worth noting is that Flipboard for Android is not yet optimized for tablets. The image quality is less than stellar, and there’s no use of the functional side panels that might otherwise grace a tablet-specific app.

    Overall, I’m impressed with Flipboard for Android. Even with its few shortcomings, it’s still a gorgeous reader with the flexibility to handle all of your social media. And if that’s not enough, it comes with two different widgets, so you can access your Cover stories right from your home screen.

  • The next Nexus 7 and next gen Surface tablets reportedly to be out in the Q2 of 2013

    Posted on March 11th, 2013 David Brooks No comments

    The competition between Google and Microsoft in mobile communication has become even fierce.  Google’s Nexus 7 tablet no doubt has gained great popularity in the tablet market since the official release. To compete with Google in tablet market, Microsoft announced its Surface tablet in both RT and Pro versions for different needs. From the results of the tablet sales, Nexus 7 seems to win. But Microsoft has never given up. As reported, the new Google Nexus 7 and the Surface 2 tablets would be released in the Q2 and market available in the end of Q2.

    Nexus 7

    This time, Google would once again cooperate with Asus on the new Nexus 7 tablet. According to the rumors, the next Nexus 7 would be about the same price as its predecessor while feature better features. The hardware configurations would be greatly improved. The tablet screen would be in edge-to-edge design with improved screen resolution to 1920×1080 pixels. Thus, if you want to watch HD movies on new Nexus 7, you would get more vivid visual effect. The price of the next Nexus 7 is rumored to be $199 – 246, just the same level as the current Nexus 7 tablet.
