2013-05-31
hey everyone welcome to the inside scoop I'm Cena it's cara de su boy joined by senior writer seth rosenblatt Seth covers google and google has been in the headlines a lot this week let's start with the gmail update as a gmail user I'm really interested in these new tabs that are coming out yes so your Gmail will soon have tabs across the top which will automatically filter your primary email it'll filter your social networking emails it will filter your deals updates and it's really quite an interesting look for Gmail it's a new thing to help people filter the email better because in the past you've had to create filters right this is all automatic what's nice about the new gmail is that you can turn it off and the old interface is still there well these tabs be available on both the browser version and the mobile version mm-hmm so the apps will be getting an update for android and iOS and the web browser will also update and this will be rolling out in the next few weeks okay also google made an announcement about their new music service becoming available for iOS absolutely tell us more again we don't know too much they haven't said much at this point but Google's all access will be available for iOS sometime in the next few weeks possibly as late as june or july they haven't said this is a new music streaming service that was announced earlier in May and how has it been received so far for Android users so far it seems like Android users like it when you sign up for it and it's separate from the standard Google Music which allows you to get all of your music when you want streaming over the cloud this is more like Spotify for google although it's all run out of the same app if you sign up now you get a 30-day free trial and if you sign it before june thirtieth it's 799 per month thereafter it's 999 per month alright so we'll keep an eye out for that way and finally google has also announced that they're sort of getting into the nutrition or calorie counting business yes there's nothing that they don't touch apparently how is this going to work so basically Google now which is their knowledge graph made real it's this an enormous database of almost 600 million things pieces information and data and all the end to tell the difference between the Kings team and the king of Thailand stuff like that will be available nutrition information will now be available in Google now so you can look up say how many calories are in an apple and it will pull up a card that says how many calories are in an apple and how is that going to work do you use your voice or do you type it I can do both you could do both okay and the point of this yeah I guess Google wants people to live longer so that you can continue to buy their services get people locked in longer but this is a free service this is free this is part of Google now and google search and we expect it to roll out here again in the near future Google's been very noncommittal recently on its announcements all right fascinating stuff a lot to look forward to thank you so much for your writer Seth Rosenblatt I'm car and see boy thanks for watching the inside scoop
