Google's working on its own smartwatch for 2016 (Googlicious)

2016-07-12
what's going on Bryant on here with your Google issues for everything google we can pack inside of a show and yes the craze is all about Pokemon go right now at least if you're in the u.s. new zealand or australia with launches in europe and japan coming soon but wait hold on guys okay just making sure my egg has hatched now according to similar web only two days after its release on july eighth pokemon go was already installed on over five percent of android devices in the US if that doesn't seem like a lot think again because that's already more installs then tinder has on US based android phones and we're all swipe and write for pokemon go plus sixty percent of the people who are using it daily means three percent of the entire US Android population is also using it daily now the latest data shows that pokemon go is expected to have more daily active users than twitter by the time you see this video but like any great thing there's also some downsides most people are setting it up with their google account but Adam reef has found it could be a huge security risk because pokemons go has full access to your google account including reading and sending emails as you accessing your google drive docs looking at your search and maps navigation history accessing your private photos and more now some of you may not care and say take over my life Pokemon go it's not like they're really trying to take over your data but access like that from any app is rare and it's something you should be aware of it's enough where some people are refusing to download the game and if you want to you can go to your Google security page you can select Pokemon go and remove to revoke all access now most cases the game still works after this but for others it doesn't so your experience may vary now in a little bit of catch-up from our hiatus last week android police has posted a render of what the next Nexus phones will look like based on their sources they claim there will be no camera hump it will be entirely flesh and there will be a gentle curve on the edges of the backside of the phone both phones will have aluminum body's not polycarbonate and the g logo may or may not exist on this final design the code names for the two phones have been come as Marlon for the 5.5 inch phone and sailfish for the smaller five incher but we still don't know their final official names expected release date and how much they'll cost now we've also heard rumblings that Google is working to control the hardware and software just like Apple for a future Nexus phone but Android police reports that Google is building two of their own android wear smartwatches with Google assistant integration the two watches will possibly be Nexus branded with the targeted release sometime after the new Nexus phones are announced the report also says one will be larger sporty-er and full-featured with LTE and gps connectivity that one is known as angelfish the second one will be smaller in size without mobile data and gps and is known internally as swordfish both watches are expected to have circular displays and will not feature that ugly flat tire interface google might be looking for a signature Android wear watch to be in the same conversation as the Apple watch or gear s2 so we'll see how this all comes together and the Android role is waiting to see Samsung released the new note 7 and here Steve hems offer gives us the first real look of the phone that backs up a lot of the renders we've seen but this time it's photos of what's believed to be an actual prototype of the note 7 rumored specs include a five point eight inch qhd display snapdragon 820 three for the US market or an Exynos 88-90 internationally six gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of internal storage with a microSD slot for expansion plus a larger battery now August second is still believed to be the official date for an announcement with an edge version of the note 7 being a possibility as well and a new report from the information says YouTube is making progress on an online TV service that won't require a cable subscription content partners that are firmly expected to be included are ABC CBS and ESPN but Google is still in negotiations with NBC Viacom and Fox now as far back as may the unplug service was rumored to cost under 35 dollars per month another aspect of this service would include topic-specific youtube channels that would be loaded with things like home improvement videos that could take place of TV networks like HD TV Google's TV package is expected to launch in the next six to nine months the report also says youtube bread hasn't taken off the way they had hoped for with trial subscription is now being extended from 30 days to four months to attract more customers yikes and google also confirm its recent acquisition a video on broadcasting platform on Votto not to be confused with javi Otto I am a fan of yours have been ever since you were at the helm

novato service but it could potentially play into its upcoming TV one alright that's going to do for this week you can email us at Google issues at cnet com or to me at brian Tong thanks so much for
