Google I/O first impressions: Google Assistant, Home, Android N & more

2016-05-18
google i/o just ended a couple of hours ago and before we bore you with a full edition of Google of the bargain out daily let's just talk about it separately I'm high- a tie with pocket now and these are our first impressions of everything we considered hot from google i/o google i/o was kicked off by the company CEO sundar Pichai and it was rather interesting to hear about the company's history 17 years ago 300 million people were connected through computers now it's 30 billion people out of which fifty percent of these come from mobile twenty percent of the search securities come from voice and that was the perfect segue to the hottest news today and I know it's odd for me to start with that but everything else wouldn't make sense it was google assistant mainly the fact that this is actually for the first time a true assistant somebody or should i say something you can actually have a conversation with you get asked different questions it could interact with you it has full context of where you are what you're asking about and search purities you've done in the past it's actually in a way your own google as sundar mentioned that at the event it's something that actually is tailored to you probably the coolest thing about this is that it's not limited to just search queries it's limited to a ton of things and obviously it's a work in progress sarah tells you it's at the divil assistant but this is ten times bigger than Cirie we don't even know how Apple plans to compete with this this is probably the best way that an assistant should have been approached from the start but obviously the technology was in there and we can't wait to see what we get later this year now even though we didn't have many expectations for the whole internet of things and googled the company is planning to take over your home they were actually candid enough to say that Amazon pioneered this with the echo and now they came up with Google home it's a speaker it can actually play music for you true but this speaker uses the google assistant to be able to be useful to you so for example if you want to control the speakers in one specific room or in all your rooms you can do so through google cast if you want to watch a specific video on a specific television you can do so through google cast if you want to ask it questions about your schedule or whatever you want depending on whatever you offer control for you could pretty much use google home to be able to do this and obviously you can set up as many as you want it is a very interesting product we obviously don't know a price tag we don't know will be launched but it's definitely something that would make you want to not just by Google home but to have chromecast on all your TV's chromecast Audio and all your speakers and just have everything connected in a very convenient way and yeah believe it or not Google just launched another messaging service it's called google allo it's supposed to compete in the certain degree with whatsapp you connect it through your phone number but it's got some added benefits like for example the fact that it focuses on your expression like for example you can add different sizes to text in order to imply that you're shouting or whispering you can also use google assistant with smart replies for example you're leaving the sub well you can't really text at the moment it's smart enough to detect what photos have been sent through the conversations it's smart enough to detect smarter ways to respond to whatever is within the conversation it's really smart you can use Google assistant in addition to that to be able to book movie tickets open table reservations it seems extremely promising mainly because of that Google assistant connection we can't wait to see what we get there but Google duo is the other application it's pretty much a FaceTime competitor but smarter it's got this knock knock feature that actually allows you to see people that are trying to connect with you just to add a little more anticipation to the video call looks really nice it was also designed for lower bandwidth and it's smart enough to adapt to it let's just see if that actually works now let's move the spotlight over to android starting with Android wear 2.0 it's a major change it's coming later this year the whole idea here is that third-party applications will now be able to be native for the operating system in addition these third-party applications will be able to add information to your watch phase you want your fitness data everything sort of like complications on the Apple watch only this seems to work better there's also some added additional benefits with for example fitness addition to communications you now get a keyboard for messaging etc it seems very promising but another major deal was made about Android VR the fact that Android and smartphones will be optimized for VR the fact that there will also be standalone VR headsets with the inclusion of a controller that can track where ever you're pointing at the fact that you now don't need to exit the VR environment you have access to a full version of the google play store with envy are to be able to communicate applications will be enhanced for VR and content will also be enhanced for BR in a very cool way again other things that we cannot wait to see with Android in obviously one of the hottest news for us today was Android and Google even explain why it launched it early for developers there were so many changes that the company needed to offer it for developers early and that's great we see support for Vulcan for gaming which is great file based encryption as well but Android n is mainly about productivity mainly about making the life experience better for the user when interacting with Android starting with multi window support picture and picture support even though apparently that's only coming to Android TV which is weird but yeah you can now even the correct whatever you want to receive and notifications from the notification tray and just a lot of different little things like for example being able to switch between applications from the multitasking button quickly just double tap it and it will switch you around obviously Multi Windows support is what we care about most and even though you think that this looks a lot like marshmallow or lollipop there is a lot of change within the operating system to make it more practical from the way it installs to the fact that you don't have to wait after you update the operating system you know that Android updating window apparently that's going away but anyways there is a lot to look forward to we can not wait to show it to you right now that the full beta is available but hey it leads me to the question of this video what was your favorite announcement at Google i/o today where are you looking forward to the most I'm not gonna lie to you for me it's google assistant I feel that Google just pretty much shot Siri they just pretty much destroyed everything that Apple started with Siri and just taught Apple how digital assistants should be but obviously we have to try it
