2015-04-28
what's good Brian song here with your Google licious for everything google that we can pack inside of a show let's get to it and the big G release their earnings for q1 2015 with a revenue of 17.3 billion dollars that's up twelve percent from the previous year thanks to its mobile advertising business but google also acknowledged that the year-over-year decline in sales of the Nexus 6 has hurt them and it hasn't performed as well as the previous Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 now the Nexus 5 was 349 and the nexus 6 started at 649 that might have been part of the problem and even stock Android can't overcome a price difference like that alright Google is launching an experimental service and will now act as a marketplace for interested parties looking to sell their patents they're looking to make the process easier with the program they're calling the patent purchase promotion now pads can be submitted and Google will let them know if they're interested in buying them the idea is to allow smaller patent holders an easier way to do this without selling the trolls who might try to flip them and then can result in lawsuits or wasted time dealing with the fallout on the software side cyanogen has created a series of new videos called cyanogen bites I wonder where they got that name from and it will feature the versatility of the custom fork of Android now the first one shows off their app femur the cyanogen OS has gained momentum recently but this is a move that shows it's trying harder to reach out to the mainstream audience and educate them alongside of the oneplus one being available for anyone to order right now and SwiftKey fans truly one of the great gems from android that's also on iOS release the beta version of their android app and brings a redesigned options menu that slides out and lets you do things like customize the size layout and look of the swift keyboard and one of androids stellar features was being able to say okay google to perform a search from anywhere on the phone but as of right now that's not the case anymore with the Samsung s6 or s6 edge and no one seems to know why it suddenly stopped working Samsung could have switched the flip to give s voice the priority now but that seems silly since it's just not as good well actually that might make perfect sense but there's been no word if it will come back to the way we expect it to and LG announced they're all metal watch urbane that will be available later this month on the Google store but if you're in Korea you can pick it up this month pricing is still yet to be announced but it's going to be targeted as a more premium device compared to the g watch are and if you're curious what it looks like running Android wear five point one point one that we talked about here last week here are some pictures that show off things like the new emoji drawing feature Wi-Fi support and always-on screen support for certain apps and don't forget about the Samsung gear to watch we know it only runs ties in but XDA developers are hard at work to get Android we're running on Samsung's watch and they've already got the OS partially functioning up to this point and finally the LG g4 is coming this week and the specs have been leaked already so what we fully expect to see is a 3000 milliamp ear our removable battery you'll still see this leather backing styling with built-in wireless charging and quick charging when plugged in with a 5.5 inch quad HD display a Snapdragon 808 processor three gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage with microSD card support several of the key features that Samsung got rid of in its latest design alright that's going to do it for this week's show you can always email us at google issues at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong thanks for watching and we'll see you all next time for some more of that Google ishes google Isha's
