welcome to android authority on air the original android hangout show on google+ I'm Derek Ross I'm Scott Anderson and I'm Johnathan Franklin this week we are going to hit up some app updates such as Maps chrome Facebook we're going to talk about the Moto X we have some information about the specs we talked to one of our close and personal friends that actually got to use the device pretty exciting we have some information on motorola's droids I hate that name we'll talk about some other phones some other rumors mother leaks we're going to talk about some exciting carrier news and how if you're on t-mobile they just gave you a way to save a ton of money excuse my language and we're gonna finish up with basically Apple getting screwed yeah a little bit he'll clapping her hands to that one all right um so so let's get started Scott I see you don't have your bed made yeah thank you uh Bobby Joe for pointing that out I appreciate it and no we will not get that trending oh come on now you know it was I you know you know what's not these years he'll do it on here if you plus what you'll see if I tell you what right now if Scott make your bed becomes trending on google+ now i will give away a twenty-dollar google play gift card how about that ooh to who though to who to a lucky winner on next show to a lucky winner on the next show that we will figure out how to give it away to them now and then turbine browser that is terribly embarrassing with maybe you don't make memes of me or anything actually make means make that idea don't give it a my way fun of the scott is made the more compelled i will be to give away gift cards I am fueled by his humiliation it's always so since that's do your thing talk about some apps okay so Google Maps we've been waiting for it for a long time got updated awesome uh the UI is kind of reflect of what they came out with an iOS it's a basically a full screen they did away with the lower bar the navigation bar which kind of I don't know some people are but heard about it but there's a slide-out menu to the side and it's basically an action button and the search bar on the top brings up many things if the results it's nice card you I and google latitude is retiring on August ninth which in return location will be through Google+ which I have a bone to pick with Google+ i think Derek does too if you have a rom oh yeah that's that's a little interesting so if you're on a rooted the phone uh if you're running a custom rom let's say an AOSP rom and you go into locations on google+ you'll see all your friends locations without a map you'll just see their faces their profile pics you won't actually see a map it's it's horrible in the longest time I never knew why I all my nexus Stevan i see a beautiful map i see where everybody's at and then I go over to my DNA that's running cm10 and boom I have no mappers it's just blank and I always wondered why in this week we found out that it's due to as well something we don't know exactly why but we found the fix you move the app into the system app directory and then you move all of the libs all the library files associated with the Google+ app you move them into system lib restart your phone and wha-la I did it on my DNA and now I have a beautiful map showing all my friends locations but I shouldn't have to do that so google+ and you know you guys need to fix your app for rooted users on custom roms you know we're a big force here you know we shouldn't have to do this silly little workarounds there has to be some reason as to why that that fixes it so yeah anyways so pretty much Scott why bullying you I very nice um what do you guys think about it is like it yeah I haven't tried it yet i'm doing the Scott Anderson move right now I'm waiting to see how long it takes Google to push it out to me I haven't side loaded yet haha I I don't have it I'm waiting I mean all they go the chrome stable build for Android full screen on tablets transit translate language bar pops up when reading ages and different languages new layout for right-to-left languages in the usual stability and performance updates as every update does and then Facebook beta seems to be a server-side push their testing out a version of the app that removes the slide-out menu and adds the bottom based tabs which is irritating it goes against all hollow Yolo designs yeah if there's no action overflow and the legacy menu button is still there well you know John you're down with the hollow Yolo what do you think of that new design for your facebook well it's you know not just the tabs I mean don't get it's still the tabs too they have the perfect like the action bar up top it just shows newsfeed and the whole group thing it's the only thing that shows on his text like that I mean it just takes off so much screen real estate it's ridiculous I mean they got there you know status photo location like the bar that slides out of the way and the action bar and bottom tab so means it just wastes I mean I hope you like scrolling you know and then I hope you like if your on-screen button device doesn't have a action overflow either because that and they kind of have the perfect excuse to fix that with a new layout but I guess that's just not how Facebook rules there's a boy maybe they're just doing it because they you know they did the slide-out menu for a long time now that that's really getting popular with apparently they must just hate Google's designs almost they decided to screw it up ugh again like absolutely I don't know I mean it's it would make sense to differentiate themselves but it would not make sense to not be fluid with everything else it differentiating is fine but their apps is terrible still I mean that's the thing yeah if they're f was competent and useful you know that's one thing but if you're just breaking stuff and guidelines for you know no reason in your app sucks till then that's kind of a it almost reminds you of the Instagram though in the design the layout of it does but it just doesn't work well and then also Google+ update if you +1 something then your followers by oh by default your extended circles will be shown at their own algorithm that you +1 something and so it's a way to discover new content a lot of people on google+ or bun heard about it a lot of people like it I like it yeah you know it gives the +1 button actually relevancy and actually means something more than just up hey I'm gonna + bomb somebody we won't say what other people really call it you know like Plus Ones actually mean something you know so if I plus something it's because I i I'd like it and I want to show my appreciation for it I want other people to see it means something so it has value I like it and you know I've had actually a few people messaged me saying hey Derek your Plus Ones are showing we can I'm getting recommendations from you just one let you notice you can turn it off I'm like yeah thanks it's working great yeah I'm not going to turn it off that's what it's there for it's I was scared that it was gonna make this dream really noisy you know kind of like Facebook does it with like shears use articles but yeah I've been kind of pleasantly surprised because the stuff that has shown from other friends hasn't really been you know it's usually been stuff that I was interested to see and also you know it's it's only every once in a while in my stream it's not at all noisy you know and nothing they must have had you know had to taken that into account because google+ tend to be more noisy than facebook anyway because you follow so many more people in your circles but it's it hasn't been you know as scary as I thought it could be and it's actually been a pretty good improvement in a lot of ways that's nice okay so let's talk about some devices those of you that bought google play edition devices they started shipping this week so once you get it you know once you get your HTC One Google Play edition all your samsung galaxy s4 Google Play edition let us know what you think let us know if you know you like it and leave a comment you know I'm sure these devices are going to be a hit amongst fans that want them but they're not gonna break any sales numbers by any means they're more of an enthusiast device I Frank all right uh let's talk about some big news let's talk about the motorola x so we have a friend that was able to play with the sprint version of the motorola x and some things are exciting about it and some things kind of upset me personally about it so let's just run down some information that we got from him he said that the camera is awesome it's great you know it's it's 10 pixels it's a really very good camera it might not be as good as the HTC One but very capable so it's very it does very well in low light situations which is what we had heard about he said battery life is great at the time talking to him he said that it had been on for four hours with 90 minutes of screen on time and he was at sixty-eight percent battery so an hour and a half of screen on time phone had been off the charger for four hours and sixty-eight percent on battery said don't know what he was doing you know besides the screen activity but still that's that's not horrible saying okay Google now opens up the google now opens up search it's an always-on feature so you don't have to turn the screen on unlock the screen and then say or and then start Google search or tap the mic or flick up anything like that you just look at it and say okay Google now and then you just start doing your search or that brings up Google now and then from there you start searching there's a motorola idea moto ID account which is similar to samsung and HTC their accounts you can use your google account to science there's no need to create a special profile remember Google and Motorola the same company so you don't need to do anything special to do that um the software was just a test version right now obviously it's not ready to go but the test version that they were running was Android 4.2 point to the latest version of Android it's typical Motorola build quality you know nice and sturdy it's a well-built phone now now really get to the part that makes d'eryka a sad panda I was going to convince myself to buy this phone because it was rumored to maybe be a 7 a 4.7 inch screen my buddy said it's not he said it's a four point four inch screen 720p 320 pixels per inch so with that screen sides John and I were talking earlier saying this is going after the iphone I mean you know it's a smaller phone a lot of people don't like the big phones people do i do but it really seems like that's who that they're targeting they're competing with at that small screen size and that you know that type of resolution no there is a market for there's a huge market for it where if you see people that try out a hit anything really a galaxy s4 HTC One and is this home so big and my hand was playing with you know she saw my galaxy nexus in my note 2 as well and she's like I just don't know yes you know you can tell people well you're going to get used to it but first impressions make a big deal and she's like I just couldn't use a phone this big yeah it's like an instant you know for some people you know they want that sighs it's not pulling a big size you know some people love it so there's definitely market for it as you said so back to some of the specs that we know well we were told that the battery is somewhere around 2000 milliamp hours or maybe 2100 milliamp hours one hundred percent sure yet the model that they're testing right now has 16 gigs of storage available I'm sorry is it a 16 gigabytes of storage with 11.9 available as I said earlier the 10 megapixel camera does great in low light situations and a leaked verizon road map says that this device moto X will be available on the twenty-third and previous reports from The Wall Street Journal said that the device will be launching on all carriers at the same time whenever the device launches so we might not have to wait you know a few weeks where to show up on this carrier a few weeks to show up in this carrier months you know and so forth so that's good if they're all going to be made available roughly at the same time and the wall street journal also said an interesting point this week that the Moto X was going to be very heavily marketed that google / motorola were prepared to spend 500 million dollar marketing blitz a marketing campaign that's a lot of money so they're definitely trying to make this device a success I mean they're they're gonna market the hell out of this device they're gonna know where Eddie saw them put it in the major news publications in the United States so they're obviously gonna take this whole motox you straight to the bank they're their gun and hard for it the biggest thing that excites me about this phone is the fact that it will probably cost less a significant amount less than the nexus 4 off contract that's the current rumor that it might be 200 bucks off contract if this is 200 bucks off contract very interesting so this might be a free phone with contract or maybe 50 bucks huh yeah I don't know what they'll do it launched but well how much was the facebook phone 100 laughter laughter a week it was free days off contract that's that's one thing worth you know with it being so cheap off contract and there's no rumors to say maybe 300 or so good that's what the carriers are going to buy it for so they've got the leeway to really subsidize it down to free and still make a ton of money and that's probably why you know the other rumors are that Google really talk them out of a lot of bloatware on the device and everything the fact that they're giving that phone to the carrier where they get this me probably insane profit margins just by offering it it kind of opens up leeway to make those kind of negotiations so in the best part of it and the other thing I mean I like the idea of this device because for a hundred bucks if you send your mom or sister aunt whomever into a carrier store and they're probably not wanting to spend on a flagship device and they want to spend say a hundred bucks or fifty bucks the phone that they get is a little bit piece of crap yep realistically and this you know really the screen size everything is approachable to average consumers and its stock Android I'm a aside from Motorola's contextual stuff this thing's pretty much running bone stock for point-to-point too so you can put that and good build quality in the hands of you know that everybody kind of consumer and it'd be a device that you know yeah in other kind of hits that balance this device really could potentially be huge for them because iphone 5 isn't really meeting the expectations they set out in the samsung galaxy s4 isn't but the thing that's getting more popular are people elected to get the galaxy s3 now or the iOS now there are more people actually of a close group of friends people that bought an iphone only one of them sprung for the five the rest of them got the foreheads I mean people just the hardware is getting to the point where mid-range is the new battleground and remember Apple is rumored to this fall be putting out a budget lower build quality cheaper iPhone so the Moto X could be you know competing with that as well why is it's not gonna appease the spec hunters but a 500 million dollar marketing budget I don't think you have to now you know I I said it when the galaxy s3 launched and I said on the galaxy s4 launch that you know we really are almost besides you know the techie geek people that care about this kind of stuff are really passed the the age of the spec you know it's a dram things are fast I mean you know what I mean phones of if you get a mid-range film will submit mid-range compare the specs that's still pretty that's still pretty fast I mean you get a the Snapdragon s4 that's still a fast processor you know is it as fast as the 600 or 800 no but do you what do you really need to run like them why do you really need something that fast to run that something I fast besides benchmarks and numbers so that's just like saying why would you need LTE if if you 3g suffices but that's that designs well the other side of it is though most of the performance of differences when devices right now we're all in software it's all if you somewhat hardware too well I mean like the s4 is a benchmark queen but if you compared to the google play edition device to google play edition feels faster substantially faster because right yes the software is more optimized so it's a that doesn't mean you can get away with crap hardware you know you're never going to get away with band hardware but you can take good hardware and make it worse with a software implementation so you know that's where benchmarks get kicked out of the way is if the software doesn't do the hardware justice then it doesn't matter with what the benchmark says it just does kind of like the droid x2 when we had dual core on gingerbread and gingerbread just didn't take advantage of dual core at all you know i mean the spec was there but it really wasn't any better than the droid x from a year before then so so let's talk about some more droids um we mentioned last week on the show the motorola droid ultra droid maxx to admitting yeah you know we're not going to go through all the specs again real quick you know the max and the mini we don't really have any knowledge on the mini but the max and the ultra are probably going to be the same minus the battery size they're both going to be 5 inch screens probably roughly something like that probably 1080p and probably a Snapdragon 800 you know probably an amazing camera in a flagship feeling type film um so anyways uh you want to find out more to check android authority calmed and find out the more about the the leaks of the specs and in guesstimation of what the specs will be but the big thing about these phones this week is we saw all three of them leak two side by side thanks to industry insider evleaks also a storyboard was leaked for an upcoming verizon droid commercial you know we haven't seen a new droid commercial a long time so supposedly the new one is a couple riding on the ocean and all know their boat malfunctions and breaks down and they get stranded on an Island when they're on the island they say you know apparently they have wherever they're at they have signal out there but it's like oh no we're only on the island what are we going to do don't worry my phone lasts for two days without a charge like wow two days then there's a voiceover saying that they in a blah blah best battery blah blah Verizon's awesome only available through verizon august eight so apparently if you reading this the Droid Maxx is going to have 48 hours of battery life um that that's pretty amazing the last one they said was 36 so so yeah say whatever you've gotten a debuff not quite fifty fifty percent to it yeah why not to add another 12 hours to it yeah so so that so they keep they kept adding you know battery life so apparently it's going to last for two full days um that Lee or that's what Verizon is telling us in the latest commercial that we'll probably see very soon if the device is going to be available august eighth you know we would start seeing in the next you know that's a month away so we'd start seeing it in the next couple weeks you'd assume so we'll see what happens with that a another leak from verizon showed a roadmap earlier we mentioned that the roadmap was on there for the HR for the Moto X well the roadmap also showed the verizon HTC One and apparently that little guy is coming August first so if if that is the case so the verizon is going to launch a lot of phone three four five phones in August so August first will be the verizon HTC one if the rumor is right then comes August eighth with the three new droids that we just mentioned and then if they're leaks hold true the end of the month on the twenty-third we will see the Moto X so that's five phones in a month that that's a lot of phones in one month four of them being motorola phones we get interesting but AT&T has like four versions of the galaxy series I guess it's not too far yeah yeah um some other some more rumors will talk about here real quick so just today we got some reports out of Asia and yeah yeah I was going to take these with a grain of salt you know especially when you have to use google translate to to figure out what they say um supposedly the nexus 7 will just be called the new Nexus 7 and it will launch the end of this month fingers crossed confidence high which could make a lot of sense for launching but in the month because it's a year old now so you know no time like to update it when the device is a year old that's usually what the norm is yeah we know it's launching soon we sitting at the FCC the FCC model numbers had it marked as the asus k 009 in k 0 0 8 LTE and Wi-Fi respectively um the leak that we heard today though says it'll be a Snapdragon s4 processor it won't rock a Snapdragon 600 which was you know or an 800 which was previously rumored um cameras the front back five megapixel in 1.2 na 39 50 million power battery two gigs ram the 32 gigs stored it seems a lot I don't know about that I'm they are actually a little bit smaller than the current Nexus 7 is yeah I've said Emily excuse me rumored leaked back yeah that's why I take these with a grain of salt you know what I mean like somebody post something halfway around the world that says they know they talk to source and then you know who knows I guess we'll find out the end of the month right some more leaks but this is a leak we can actually actually take home the bank you know are taking you can't take it home to banks and you won't be taking it home huh you can't do that you can't do that is it you can take home or take to the bank right either work wherever you want to take your money you can take it there so this league for the LG optimus g2 first though we this week we saw some images leaked lakay image is but oh wait there's more the next day a full 1080p video of the g two linked showed a 5.2 inch screen a snappy Snapdragon 800 clock to two point three gigahertz 2 gigs of RAM softkeys a very thin device very thin bezel you know pretty much edge to edge beautiful-looking screen and I'm gonna guess that the screen that was in there shown was probably announced the next day when LG announced the world's thinnest 1080p LCD display 5.2 inches very very very thin 2.2 millimeters with a bezel of 2.3 millimeter so yeah it kind of sounds like that might be the one that was shown in that video that's just a guess we don't really know but it very well could be it um they're calling their technology advanced one glass solution or augs if you will it inserts a dual flexible printed circuits between the LCD panel and a firm touch which results in thirty percent fewer lines on the panel so yeah besides all the geek stuff only a few people care about it's a badass-looking screen um also the brightest screen on the market it's it's capable 535 nits of brightness so yeah it's a very bright brilliant looking display so yeah that's awesome maybe it maybe if it comes to verizon they'll get that and so the Moto X there's so many phones coming out alright so I'm done talking about devices somebody else John talked us about routing and ramen what's uh what's happened in the world of routing ramen there's a little bit of news this week and after all the big security scares of the master key all access security bug ah heirs of the NSA contributing code to Android with people that don't understand what selinux is but CM 10.1 point 1 is now available it's a minor you know step from 10.1 point 0 which just include security has enhancements which fixes the master key or the hall access security bug that's been in the news so nothing major but it's a enough for them to justify a virgin bump I guess to indicate the stuff was been yeah we'll see what happens I i want the 10-point 1.1 update on my DNA so i'll have it yet because I'm not official rom waiting for it still hundred download your apps from the Play Store yeah because because I get my apps from like China and Russia and Zimbabwe market you know like the Zimbabwe market is actually my favorite place to get apps so yeah I just wish America had stores that you could walk in and buy pirated apps like you could you know that would be amazing if I could go in and buy photoshop for five bucks or something like that it was so you know it right this is a big deal but it's not a big deal you know we kind of mentioned this on the show before you know it's a big deal if you get an app from some dude you know in a trench coat if you will but if you're getting at you know from Best Buy you know you're getting to know to mean like if you're buying for reputable source such as you know google play since apps we're talking about you know you're probably okay that doesn't mean that some guy couldn't upload something the google play and do you find it and download it but oh my god you know what Google does look for this stuff and I don't know about you guys but I don't download apps have never been downloaded by some that you know some weird developer you know with typos and you know you know you only as secure as you make yourself download reputable apps from reputable developers from reputable sources and master key won't affect you many ways but hey if your rock and CM 10.1 you get that extra dot point get one more dot one and you're good to go right we shake your head for Scott I love doing that I'm trying to do it because dance gone you know that's right dan is actually in Ohio right now so if you're in ohio and you're near the turnpike and you have a whole bunch you're in traffic yeah so apparently yeah we were talking to Dan earlier there's construction going on so he's actually not moving right now so you could probably go find him when we talked to him a little bit ago he was at like mile marker like 140 or 150 so just like just go find him and just start waving dan might find him who knows you'll be the one complaining with his fields on or something like that oh yeah he'll be he'll be complaining it being doesn't complain no not at all okay so let's move on to some carrier news so big news from T molds and Lester news from sprint but t-mobile starting out there getting bolder as a company they're boldest moves yet that's what they have stated so just a little bit of an update LTE footprint covers around 150 million people that's 57 million more than their major goal so that's impressive and we cannot heard that because of a damn ass and uh so they announced a jump program and that a lot it's a new service that allows customers to upgrade their device twice yearly if they want and the service costs ten dollars a month so it's like an insurance plan type things so let's say I wanted to get two phones new each year so I would want to jump twice so you got your monthly payments if you're to do 2 times 2 times a year it'd be about 1,400 to $1,500 annual cost and if you wanted to buy those phones off contract be about two thousand to two thousand two hundred dollars so it's significantly less expensive which is quite nice if the I mean if you're just a single person and you just have one phone doesn't really help you out that much but it's nice yeah so moving on to sprint sprint has the D basically unlimited my way and my all-in and basically this they had their unlimited was the broth was ninety dollars a month and now it's unlimited text and talk for fifty dollars plus smartphone data which is thirty dollars those are going eighty dollars so ten dollars less not bad nothing really special there if if you can get some kind of bandwidth on sprint then yeah you can get unlimited data you can find a towel it's a well so what what what speeds were put people post an earlier showing how awesome the new data plans where um the the data plan they're really really fast like three four kilobytes Runaways know if you want to go look at so you want to go back to nineteen ninety-eight dial-up speeds you can yes when it's on it it's a little limited dial up for your mobile device through sprint right now there's one guy that poses a screenshot that had a 4.3 second pain time yeah notnot millisecond emotional we're not no accelerants is it not people talk about their pains in milliseconds not sprint they actually talk in seconds man and it was six kilobits down and 8 kilobits up but it's all-you-can-eat dude you can use as much of it no you can eat as much as you want it was a little while to get hungry I mean I want to hear right now from I'm sure we have a sprint customer watching if not watching now listening later feel free to let us know in the comments of how excited you are about these new plans to have all you can eat at you know 4k down or whatever you know let let us know how fast Sprint is I have a buddy down in Nashville that has sprint and he has told me countless times again how fast his LTE is and then he shows me the screenshot and then I see he's joking it is not fast it is very slow so Peter if you're watching let us know let us know John well we did have some lots of patent news this week mostly every one of them actually involved Apple but uh the first one was apples initial lawsuit on the name App Store against Amazon because Amazon uses the amazon appstore too and what if it start because that's been go out for a while I forget what year that they went after amazon it was right after amazon launch the app store so their app store so it's like 20 2011 yeah that makes sense hmm but as far as the difference is I mean app store for apples two words and in Amazon that store you know the App Store part is one word but still Apple when after amazon stating that they couldn't use the word app store claiming it was false advertising and it could confuse customers trying to buy you know iOS apps on an android and an amazon countered saying that app store was so generic in this day and age so they've went to court over this they've sugar-coated the ruling but essentially apple basically stare down the barrel of seeing that their argument was completely hopeless so they decided that they no longer need to pursue this as their customers clearly nowhere to go to my apps with 50 billion downloads so all chosen ones on their own thing there's a lot of question you know where to go get apps when an iOS device can't even get the amazon appstore but up you know what do I know and the Apple did now as far as a ruling on the App Store we don't know if there's going to be you know damages that's highly doubt it they just drop basically dropped and walked away on that one but they drove it isn't I mean the damaged part of the trial hasn't been covered yet azimu really hasn't happened yet Oh Apple's getting the hammer pretty dropped on him pretty hard though over ebook price-fixing which they were originally accused of back in 2012 and they were found guilty in a federal court for fixing ebook prices so and we had several publishers that quickly caved in and then all had to agree to settlements by early you know 2013 and Apple was the only one facing a trial and there the other one that said no no no no we didn't do this you know everybody else said they did but apples that we know we're not part of this is to happily pick one to try to play the innocent one on this one but so the Department of Justice accused the companies are banding together to keep ebooks above amazon you know traditionally pretty much rock bottom discounts and try to chip away at the kind of Kindle fueled ebook market in increasingly Kendall fueled now that Barnes and Noble is killed off look but the damages have not been decided at this time of course Apple does plan to appeal this is par for the course claiming they're not guilty so whether they will be granted an appeal or not or you know what damages are going to ensue I'm sure there are going to be quite a bit of damages in Sudan this one but uh let's stay posted and see how that one turns out alright so we have a report from Florida saying that that sprint down there is actually slower than paint drying I want to screenshot to provo and then we have another report that from Ohio that that this guy's sprint data speed was so bad that he couldn't send a tweet any other intensive though you know 140 characters nut that's a lot of data you know oh man i'm happy i don't have spread around here because you know i will art our data speeds uh aren't the greatest i mean less you're on verizon i'm sure i'm sure i wouldn't even go to like connect to google services which you can barely do on 2g edge so that's lever up anyways we've hadded argument before that's why i have to use verizon because everybody else is non-existent anyways so any uh any questions here let's look down the list um any what Brayden was talking about the fix earlier for Google+ how you take all the libs in the app and you move make them system libs and system apps so yeah so it until this gets fixed every time there's an update you're gonna have to do that now that's kind of a pain in the butt so yeah unfortunately I I did the fix yesterday install the new update today damn it broke had to go in and move stuff around again so um a few minutes here let's uh let's make the last part of the show like just like last week the glass minute since I'm Nellie glass Explorer um I've discovered my favorite thing to do with glass John and and Scott and you know what that is mmm it's it's not an app yet and there are some neat app so i just installed a new one today but my favorite thing to do with glass is to share it to share my experience to take it off let someone else use it for a minute um i love seeing people's first reaction you know when you see that screen out in front of your face and and just the moment of awe and the excitement and their voice excitement there i'd smile on their face this that feeling to give somebody that feeling is awesome because i know i felt that way the very first time I put on glass so it's very neat to give that experience to somebody and I've been you know almost all my co-workers like you know 30 40 people in my office have tried it multiple people in my building a dozens of people in my building every day I go for a walk at lunch you know and I people come up to me and I let them try on glass and everything that's really cool today I was actually surrounded by probably like 30 sir so I don't know how old they were all i'll just say students I they could have been like incoming freshmen but penn state also has some can't have some camps going on right now so they could have been the 16 years old I I don't know um but you know they were they were they were you know 16 to 19 maybe the most actually doing some ingress I was standing outside playing ingress with one of my co-workers him and I word hacking a portal / lunch and a couple girls walked by me and we were staring at my glass and I said yeah that's Google glass you know you can go and ask me about it you know they were shy I didn't want to say anything so I started a conversation for him and we talked about glass for a few seconds and they thought it was very cool and awesome and that's well here you can try it on and they tried it on and then they thought was awesome and then another group like four or five guys is coming down the street and so a bunch of girls uh yes they option it we got check out the girls well what the girls doing all the truth and they're trying on glass so the guys are there you know trying on my glass now I have like ten people standing around me and now it's not all these people doing so people are I crossing the street what's going on you know and before I knew it five minutes later there's like 30 people standing around talking about glass with me and they want to try it on and I'm passing it around different people tried on and helping them use it she owned him commands the touchpad and it was there you know I was a little scared there for a few minutes when they were when a few of the kids uh were getting a little rowdy and just yanking it off each others faced so they could try and like whoa well there's enough glass to go around here like don't break my sixteen hundred dollar device that they only have like ten thousand dollars you know like Nestle 73 you can hear Derek talking about who stole his glass and took off now I'm over exaggerating I you know they were fine that they were they were fine all the kids that they loved it and they're very excited to see it and they want to know you know when it's gonna be available when can they buy it so if Google hits the right price point on this they're gonna do very well because I mean so many people are just so excited about it um the I installed a new app as I said today the new app adds some additional functionality it's called called glass Genie or just called genie it allows me to set up where I parked so you know if you're ever in that Seinfeld episode you know where you lose your car in a parking garage or parking lot you don't remember where you parked you can set a a GPS location for you parked and then when you need to go find your car you tap the card for your car and you hit directions in it you know navigates you back to where your car is you can there's also a shopping list you soon so you can add like milk or actually mine says beer but beer my shopping list tested out um you can view your shopping list that you can you can send notes to yourself which I hope that the features eventually come into glass you know baked in so i can say note to self and have it um you know send me an email or go to Google keep directly right now you can do note to self and have it send you an email you can also do a similar function to do a like to do like a remind me type thing which you can't do right now natively which I hope that functionality comes integrates with Google now and all that good stuff but I can do a like a reminder card a note card just send notes to do list or something like that to myself it's a well it's neat ah the apps need is still in the you know private beta right now so it's only going to get better as glass gets better any questions about glass before we in the show a few minutes early since I'm not a whole lot to talk about this week I guess Scott John you have anything else dad and we're wrapping berkeley i guess one question in the comments of Eric Kaufmann asked if that has been fixed for the nexus 4 no they actually kind of quietly fixed it back in February i'm not sure if it had was rolled into the most recent update for the necklace for not but it has already been patched up in a OSP from a while back so it's very likely that it is if not it's you know we will becoming extremely soon yeah I would say come out with Google's already passed it up in the holy hymns like Samsung and HTC Motorola already working for you know have even pushed it to some carriers already so I would think the nexus 4 should be good to go that's interesting on I would actually be the opposite i would say that it's probably not because AOSP was just updated and it's you know i mean there was a update the other day for like the visit the galaxy s 4 180 i would think of AT&T can get the thing out louisville should have a hearty pushed it to the nexus cuz because think about it why would why would cyogen mod who's been running you know AOSP for point-to-point to watch this big oh why would they just need to recently update so that's a good question cuz on when i started the branch that is true okay that's something made for us to find out for next week we'll find out him if the nexus 4 is good to go or not okay well Scott do the thing ah you can find us on youtube and subscribe to our youtube channel for weekly updates as well as a pro huge phone reviews booya reviews all the things and google+ page
