Google IO #2

Continued on from the last blog.

The biggest thing to ever hit smartphones by storm when it was introduced by Apple with the iPhone 4S, i'm talking of course about siri, the voice recognation assisstant. Siri helps users out completing tasks like setting alarms, finding out the latest scores of the football game, and many more features. Apple have really changed how people look at voice recognitiaton services and bringing them to the mainstream audience. Well Google have brought out their own Voice recognition service and others all the same features that siri features but more. Since Google do what google do, they track every little bit of information they have on you. Google have permission to read through your emails, search results, your Youtube videos, Google track everything that you do so they can give you relevent adverts based from what you're interested so they can really target an audience.

Google's Voice service isn't just a voice recognition, it can do so much more, There's a feature that they are calling Google Now. over weeks and weeks of retrieving information Google now will be an essitanal part of your life, it will track what time you need information, where you are located for example, for weeks you've been getting the train and you've been asking google on the train times for that location, it will be able to work out what time you need the information and it will automatically bring up the information without you asking the device.

With the new inteation for the android powered devices, you've got jellybean 4.1, The biggest complaints towards the android OS is the search functionailty and google have re-built from the ground up to give the ultimate unfied experience. if you want to search for barak obama's height or weight it will bring it up in a conveient card just like what siri presents.

Keyboard, Jellybean has dramically improved the keyboard, it now gives you predictive text, remember what the blackberry 10 OS gave us, giving you words before you've actually typed in yet. Gives you the power of the blackberry 10 but with many third party support from the playstore.

Widgets have been reimagned, have you even tried to place a widget on one of your homescreen but you couldn't because there wasn't enough space well you now can, with the power of jellybean you can now place a widget and it will automatically move widgets and app icons around the screen so that it can make space for the new widget.

Now i haven't watched Google IO but when it comes available to watch and i've watched it, i'll give my own personal review on it.
