this episode of android weekly is brought to you by domain.com so you know how most of you were busting at the seams at the thought that Google might be creating their own wireless carrier yeah think about it the nexus of carriers sounds sweet but according to The Wall Street Journal that Google carrier will only apply to Nexus sixes according to people familiar with the matter Google's wireless service may end up launching by the end of March which would be much sooner than we expected additionally the report states that the new wireless service would only be compatible with the Nexus 6 and no other Android devices the report states and I quote the service designed to switch among Wi-Fi and cellular networks will initially be available only on the latest Nexus 6 smartphone designed by google and made by motorola mobility a former google unit now owned by china's lenovo group set to people familiar with the matter one of those people said the service won't work with older Nexus devices such as the Nexus 5 but you lucky Nexus 6 owners don't get your hopes up too soon the sources claim that while there's potential for the service to launch in the coming weeks the start might be delayed also the service will reportedly combine both t-mobile and Sprint networks with available Wi-Fi networks in the hopes to obtain the best signal from any location but don't fret too much because if this proves successful google has a good reason to expand this capacity to other phones but you don't need a nexus 6 to take advantage of Google's new car insurance comparison tool google has just introduced a new tool to help you save money the next time you want to buy car insurance it's called google compare for car insurance and will display both national and local insurance providers in order to get you the best deal there are only 14 partners on board with the comparison tool thus far but the company hopes to add more in the near future in explaining the new tool to car insurance providers Google States you can highlight what makes your business unique whether that's an A rating and customer service or better discounts for safe drivers and when your users adjust their deductible or add additional cars to their quote you can show updated pricing that matches their needs they can buy their policy online or over the phone through one of your agents now for the time being this service is only rolling out to Californians but we'll hope to expand other states very soon now for those of you who are fans of Sony design smartphones like I am will be disheartened to know that Sony may be pulling out of the smartphone market all together no matter what part of the world you live in Sony is likely a household name for the past several decades the Japanese mega corporation has dabbled in a variety of talking points ranging from consumer electronics to healthcare and biotech recently however the company has fallen on some hard times in the past few years its leadership has made some radical changes in 2014 Sony made an exit from the pc business selling off its well-known PC brand to a japanese investment firm after pulling the plug on its PC efforts Sony stated that it would shift its focus towards smartphones and tablets here we are a little over 12 months later and the company CEO is making an even more drastic move recently announcing that the company will no longer pursue profits in smartphone sales a far cry from Sony's declaration last februari last februari Sony CEO said that he would not rule out the possibility of exiting the smartphone market altogether but it gets worse for Sony fans because if you have a sony device that's not an xperia z series device you are not getting lollipop at all but it's not all bad news for Sony they're still making great sleek sexy devices in this case in the form of a tablet and the Zed for tablet is getting a lot of attention I talked about it last week and that thing is so thin and light it floats almost the newly-announced experience that for tablet may not look hugely different from its predecessor but sony has spent considerable effort trimming down all the excess space and fat from this new tablet making the zed for tablet one of the most lightweight on the market how lightweight you ask well light enough to be carried off by a few helium-filled balloons it seems as sony has shown off in its latest promotional video filmed in beautiful barthelona not only can the Zed for tablet swim but the bugger can fly too well more like float know if that's not scientific enough for you the Zed for tablet is 6.1 millimeters thin compared to the six point four millimeters from the previous generation and weighs just 389 grams this makes it a full 50 grams lighter than the z2 tablet and considerably lighter than Samsung's similarly sized 10.5 inch Galaxy Tab s and in the never-ending battle to find the perfect domain name my new favorite is Jace the shiksha I don't
