WP7 style camera features, which is nice. I always liked that on my Trophy.

[bedlamite]

Camera filmstrip view is ripped right from WP7, but hey it's all good

[Angelus Errare]

Finally a undo when you delete photos on accident.

HINT APPLE HINT!

[D4Danger]

somebody at Google used a Windows Phone

[reKon]

They just web OSed the camera app, nice

[numble]

i use a 4 on ios5 for work... my galaxy nexus is smoother on the homescreen

You should be comparing it to iOS 4. I thought some things were smoother than 4.

[Andrex]

Tapping to pair with Bluetooth devices? Pretty nice.

[3pheMeraLmiX]

Woo, love the quick-view camera galley and card-swipe picture removal.

Notification update next!

[brotkasten]

So is JB just a suped up version of ICS? How many non-Nexus devices will get updated to it?

This won't be a problem. Manufacturers and carriers formed something like an Android update alliance to solve the update and fragmentation issue with Android devices.

Google Cloud Messaging for Android Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a service that lets developers send short message data to their users on Android devices, without needing a proprietary sync solution. GCM handles all the details of queuing messages and delivering them efficiently to the targeted Android devices. It supports message multicasting and can reach up to 1000 connected devices simultaneously with a single request. It also supports message payloads, which means that in addition to sending tickle messages to an app on the device, developers can send up to 4K of data. Google Cloud Messaging is completely free for all developers and sign-up is easy. See the Google Cloud Messaging page for registration, downloads, and documentation.

death to text messages.

[zbeeb]

new notifications are awesome!

[VanWinkle]

Wait, I can tap a Bluetooth device to connect? Or does it have to have NFC (which would make more sense, lol).

Notifications look great!

[jokkir]

Whoa at that new notification bar.

But no toggles? :(

[bedlamite]

Notifications...turbocharged!

[Andrex]

Ooooh, liking these notificatin enhancements. I also like you can go elsewhere in the OS when on a call...

[Divvy]

Hmmm I wonder if you can still get rid of all notifications. The icon changed.

[Ephemeris]

OFFLINE VOICE TYPING This is seriously a megaton for me! Predictive typing is kinda cool too.

:O

[mclaren777]

Didn't WP7 copy that feature from webOS?

[Angelus Errare]

Ooo the notification upgrades are hot. Apple will be taking that too lol.

[claviertekky]

+1 it

[JonnyBrad]

Laying the smack down to apples notification center now as well. Awesome.

[Vyse The Legend]

Whoa, notifications are even better now. Jeez.

[bananas]

Who the fuck is directing this live feed? They keep switching back to just the dude. SHOW THE FUCKING SCREEN, YOU MORON.

[Copernicus]

It's great to see them bring 3rd party developers into the fold.

Oh god, we're finally seeing innovation with multi touch input. hallefuckinglujah.

[VanWinkle]

Man, these notifications look so good! It's crazy how much extra functionality they've added.

[Achtius]

dat two fingers gesture :D

[Hoo-doo]

Ooo the notification upgrades are hot. Apple will be taking that too lol.

Doesn't apple already have this? Call back straight from the notification center, reply to mails.

[tino]

Giving more power to notification screen is the right way to go to give pseudo multitasking to Android.

[Vic]

Holy shit. The new notifications are making me wet!

[3pheMeraLmiX]

Loving supercharged notifications.

[Andrex]

Google actually creating new multi-finger gestures instead of copying them from others? About time.

[Paznos]

Improved notifications awesome.

[-Pyromaniac-]

This is impressive stuff. Still hoping Chrome becomes default.

[Emily Chu]

two finger gestures on dat notifcation bar

WAT ?!!

[gutshot]

Improved notifications all over my face.

This search bar design though.... no. Just no.

[claviertekky]

Google's Siri

[Hoo-doo]

Giri.

[Andrex]

Knowledge Graph integration, just like I thought.

[Emily Chu]

they better have a good reason for shitting up the search bar

[VanWinkle]

Siri-like functionality built into the Google search. That's cool.

HOLY POOP! That natural speech voice!!

[3pheMeraLmiX]

Knowledge cards are starting to look like flash card responses for a siri competitor.

[gcubed]

Knowledge Graph integration, just like I thought.

because i said it first

[jokkir]

Siri!

EDIT - Sounds like the voice is better than Siri

[remz]

Google voice search taking over siri

[bananas]

Google's a girl.

[zbeeb]

holy fuck. that voice is incredible

[Brettison]

Dear Windows Phone 8,

I barely knew thee, but alas I must say adieu. Fare thee well!

Sincerely,
Brettison

[Divvy]

I was hoping for Majel Roddenbery's voice :(

New voice is nice... I guess....

[Paznos]

Omg googles siri!
The space needle! Go Seattle!

[Andrex]

The voice is also much better than Siri, just like I thought it would be! Their acquisition of Phonetic Arts makes total sense now.
