Yay! Jelly Beans for my Nexus SSSSS!!!!!

 

[Marty Chinn]

Wow, their voice assistant sounds a lot smoother than Siri.

Ya it's weird, given the nature of Apple and Google, you'd think each company would have the other's voice assistant.

I was hoping for Stephen Hawking's voice. Really disappointed.

 

[Dizzan]

But... Google Now isn't the Siri competitor, is it? Now seemed like something entirely different to me - a way to automatically get the information Google thinks you'd want at a certain time or in a certain location, depending on what you've previously searched for, etc. It has nothing to do with voice (asking for information, telling the phone to do stuff, etc.), which is what Siri is all about. What seemed much more Siri-like was the improved voice search which uses the knowledge graph to actually "understand" what you're asking. And that's something entirely different from Now, as fas as I can tell.

EDIT: Well, I guess these things will be working together. But Now on its own doesn't seem to be the answer to Siri.



Yeah. That's not really similar to Siri. The voice search they showed, on the other hand, is.

Google now sounds great for my phone but fairly useless for my non 3G Nexus 7....

Is there a way to set it up so the Nexus automatically tethers from my phone when it is out of wi-fi range?

 

[Blackhead]

I love that it's not voice-only. I hated correcting Siri, so annoying.

 

[Bollocks]

Yeah that voice is very smooth and natural given what we've had so far (siri/navigation)
I want Schwarzenegger to answer my questions
Also Andrex what are you watching now?

If it saves the wifi AP, it should be default connect when it detects the connection available. At least, my tf101 will automatically connect to my GNexus when I leave the coffee shop.

Significantly improved on the tablet too, though some images are still scaled/cropped poorly eg. a friend posting the latest XKCD comic strip:

...how else do you propose they aggregate this information...?

Sports
Google Now keeps you updated on your favorite sports teams in real time, with live scores and upcoming games. You can even can buy game tickets on the fly.

Places
When you&#8217;re on the go, Google Now will suggest nearby bars, restaurants, and places of interest. You can quickly jump to Google Maps to get more info, reviews, or even make a reservation.

Next appointment
When you have an appointment, Google Now checks traffic so you can know how long it'll take to get there. You even get a notification for when you should leave.

Makes sense.

Duno. Wish there was some place where my search history would be walled off for any other use.

No, I already have my search history disabled on Google. I mean on Now--where they could save my search history but not use it for anything else.

I don't know. Seems like a pointless capability if you don't share required information for it to perform its intended function.

Google today touched a little bit on it’s real-time messaging services like Talk, Messenger, and Google Hangouts. Google has said during its session with the Google+ Hangouts team this afternoon that they “have done an incredibly poor job servicing our users” and also said that they’re working on unifying all of these services into one.

I must be taking crazy pills, but I'm seeing a lot of positive reactions from the tech blogs for the Nexus Q.

 

[Vanillalite]

I must be taking crazy pills, but I'm seeing a lot of positive reactions from the tech blogs for the Nexus Q.

Problem is separating whether the device in and of itself is good verses is the device worth the asking price.

Nobody has said the device is horrid. It's honestly not. Everyone just said it's not worth $300. So it's bound to get some good press from the hands on.

Nexus Q Media Streamer - Physical Impressions


I'll wait to see what the hackers do with it.

Bleh. $300 for a headless Play Store client device that can't stream local media and requires an additional Android device to control it. The $99 vizio is more interesting.

Again, $249 with a Nexus 7 would've been perfect. But hey, USA USA USA!

I don't know. Seems like a pointless capability if you don't share required information for it to perform its intended function.

Not a fan of that implementation at all. Not only are you giving up full access to your search history (privacy concern) but also relying on some computer algorithm to determine what your likes and dislikes are which means there's room for error.

There should at least be an alternate way to manually input that information imo.

 

[xtop]

the preview ota is here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737340

edit: looks like it will only install on the galaxy nexus from the play store

Guys, this will NOT work on any other ROM than takju IMM30B (which, incidentaly, was the ROM shipped with the Play Store GNex devices).

There are NO images of takju IMM30B, so the only way we will get this to install is if someone can provide us with a nandroid backup taken from a device that was running IMM30B at the time.

They got it for free, next to a tablet, phone, media to play off each other, and it visually looks awesome.

 

[tino]

Looks guys...I'm like a Q but useful, and a third of the price!

Guys! Guys!!

A third of the price? You can get a fucking WD Live+ for 69 and it play youtube netflix hulu just fine.

But does it have Chrome or Android apps? That's the $30 question.

It bundles all the web frameworks together you want to use based on your y/n answering, and builds it into an awesome default project. Like a super-bootstrap. I think. Can't try it out since it sin't released.

Grrr, where can I watch today's Android keynote?

amazing stuff this morning ... LOVE the G+ and earth updates, and youtube.

there's now so much boilerplate crap out there for web apps you need a boilerplate generator?

did nobody just stop, take a step back, and really think about what they're doing here?

I'm an iPhone user but all this stuff looks great. I would seriously consider an Android phone at this point. I just want the OS to be as cosmetically smooth as iOS, then I'm potentially in.

They realized they were doing something smart by putting them all together and making them work seamlessly instead of leaving it to developers to hack poorly thought out solutions together?
