Week in Tech: Google gets us goggling with an L of an OS
Week in Tech: Google gets us goggling with an L of an OS
Week in Tech Plus facewear in Cardboard and Glass for Google fashionistas
This week was all about the big G. Not the big G that lives in the
sky - we mean the slightly less omniscient one that lives in the cloud.
The annual Google IO brought us the future of Android, some whizzy
watches, a brand new TV box and, er, a cardboard hat. It's a Googly week
in tech!
IO need to know
Google IO is Google's equivalent
of WWDC, an annual event where developers get to see what's next in
smartphones, computers, entertainment and wearables. The keynote address
was a bum-numbing three-plus hours, but we've boiled down the key
information into a much more comfortable five points. Here are the five
things you need to know about Google IO 2014.
An L of an Android
Android 5.0, previously predicted to take the name Lollipop, is now Android L
- and it's going to be an L of an upgrade. As Gary Cutlack explains,
there are "a lot of new features, big visual changes and clever tweaks
[to] get excited about." From the pretty new look to better battery
life, here are the 10 big things L has to offer.
Doing a 360
The Moto 360 is currently the world's most wanted smartwatch,
and it's by far the most desirable of the Android Wear devices we've
seen so far. But how does it compare to its similarly droid-powered
rivals, the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live? The Gear Live is the
cheapest, but the 360 is the more attractive.
What a card
The
future of virtual reality is… cardboard! Where previous Google IO
attendees got all kinds of electronic goodies, this year's delegates got
a smartwatch and a bit of cardboard. But Google Cardboard is no ordinary cardboard. It's cardboard that records everything you do and… no, not really. But it does turn your Android phone into a VR headset for 99.9% less than an Oculus Rift or Project Morpheus. Just don't try to use it in the rain.
Google's TV: third time lucky?
The newly announced Android TV
is Google's third attempt at transforming television. Will this one
work, or is it the new Nexus Q? Michelle Fitzsimmons has the remote: "It
already seems more refined than the failed Google TV venture," she
says, but it's "somewhat uninspired" - although Razer's Android TV "micro-console" looks pretty nifty in an Amazon-y, Apple-y kinda way.
Google goes to work
Android
isn't a huge deal in business - almost all business tablet activations
are currently iOS, not Android - but that may well change with Android for Work.
Why take two devices into the office, Android for Work says, when you
can just have one? It promises to keep work and personal stuff separate
on a single device, and combined with Android apps on Chromebooks it
could help Google make a much bigger dent in the business universe.
Google Glass for a grand
Google Glass
has a UK price tag - a ridiculous £1,000 - and a spec bump: the memory
has doubled and there are 12 new apps including Shazam and Live Stream.
Is it worth the money? Of course it isn't, but as Matt Swider says,
owning one is rather like "owning the first TV on the block". It's "more
fun than functional right now," but it certainly gets you noticed.
Ola and Google join hands for its outstation category Mobile app for transportation today announced its partnership with Google for its outstation category. The company said that "This first of its kind association in India enables bookings from 23 cities to over 215 one-way routes in the country and in the coming weeks, the integration will be expanded to a total of 500 routes." Elaborating on the partnership Vijay Ghadge, VP of Operations at Ola said, " This time around, we are bringing a unique experience for long distance commuters - enabling access to our Outstation category on Google Maps itself. Be it first-timers or frequent business travelers, we are certain that this integration will add value for all use cases. Ola Outstation has gained significant prominence in the past year since its launch, this association takes us a step further in making the category as reliable and convenient as the intra-city commute." Vijay further added, "As O...
Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...
Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...
