I was actually joking last week when I referred to using an AI assistant like they did in Star Trek but now amazon Alexa can change their call name from Alexa to computer hello computer and the samsung galaxy s 8 rumors keep rolling it this image was posted by the de for design Twitter account and shows to display shells that are supposed to be for the galaxy s 8 and the larger si+ both look like they have curved screens with very little bezel they also both look like the smartphone mock-up that was used in the recent videos with Samsung's display division android police also points out that multiple sensor windows on both of the display shells may indicate that the galaxy s 8 could have features like iris scanning that was included in the aborted galaxy note 7 in any case bear in mind that this image has not been confirmed by Samsung as of yet and it could just be a clever mock-up now moving on to more specific Android news imagine for a moment if you could use an app's functionality without having to actually open up the app at all confused while that's the promise of Android instant apps android instant apps was first revealed to us at Google i/o 2016 but as a quick refresher once a user taps on an Android instant app link the google play store will begin to deliver only enough code for the app to run on the android device without having to actually open up the app at all this concept seems like it could be really helpful especially if you're only planted to use the app one time to handle a certain task android instant apps can also be downloaded via NFC connection in case you needed to buy a ticket directly from a concert hall kiosk or you wanted to pay one of those internet-connected parking meters now having to go in and out of individual apps for one or two tasks is clumsy and clunky so I think this is promising it may not be in this exact format but I think it has a future google has promised that they're going to roll out android instant apps to certain apps as a beta test like BuzzFeed wish periscope and blackberry is throwing us another Hail Mary and I want to be hopeful but it sort of feels like hoping the maple leafs win the Stanley Cup nonetheless it is official blackberry will show off its QWERTY keyboard sporting mercury smartphone on februari 2015 right at the beginning of the Mobile World Congress 2017 now we were able to get a hands-on with a very early pre-production unit at CES 2017 which allowed us to get a good feel for the phone before blackberry and TLC put their finishing touches on it while the software on the phone wasn't nearly finished the hardware felt extremely solid with a qwerty keyboard in tow blackberry is seemingly pulling out all the stops with Mercury it sports a fingerprint sensor embedded in the phone's physical space bar USB type-c connectivity and you can also take advantage of gestures on the keyboard to swipe through menus on the phone and since this is a blackberry the mercury will be geared towards enterprise customers but will also be sold unlocked for other customers too I got to admit I think it's all too little too late but proved me wrong please what do you think in the comments below does BlackBerry's mercury have a shot what do you think so why do I love our new sponsor ting because ting saves you cash ting is a mobile phone service that is helping people like you save a lot of money on their monthly cell phone bills ting is not just lowering their mobile data rates across the board but you also just pay for what you use with ting and that now also includes data for just ten dollars per gigabyte visit aah encom and see how much you can save with ting and on top of that you'll get twenty-five dollars towards your first device or tang service you
