2015-05-28
who I owe is currently on its way and we get a glimpse of Android M services like Google Maps and cardboard add some cool new features and believe it or not the whole google photos update was cooler than we expected I'm hi Mary vetta and let's not beat around the bush this is the google i/o edition of the pocket now daily everything today is official and our website is packed with details of everything you want to read in case you want to know more about what we're going to talk about obviously i have to condense everything in three minutes so let's talk about google i/o starting with google maps we get an update that is going to be launched later this year and the coolest thing is that even though offline maps have existed for the longest time this will now allow you to have turn by turn navigation when you're offline in addition to the fact that you can still search for things and know things are open or closed know places and there will also be transit updates to support new cities like mexico city cities in india etc etc really cool things coming to Google Maps but we don't have a date another cool new update is that Google cardboard is going cross-platform and yeah I know it's not just the cardboard thing it's really the whole concept of being able to use a you know a proprietary headset to give you virtual reality features and the cool thing is that yet it's now going to support iphones as well so the there is going to be an API that will allow developers to port games in order to support google cardboard and there are also some updates as to how third-party developers can create google cardboard compatible headsets in order to give you something affordable not have to pay so much money to get vr headsets in the future one of the major updates is google now currently it's great at predicting what you want to know but now it's going to use more of the knowledge graph from google and pretty much detect what you're doing as well and use contacts for it for example if you are currently browsing the web site about baseball what it'll do is if you long press the home button it'll automatically detect what's on the display and give you more information about what's on the display if you're listening to a song that will give you information on the artist or anything that you ask it to give you and it'll just expand its functionality to pretty much everything that you're currently doing not necessary just predicting what you want to know which is a great update to come we just can't wait to test it but it's a Android M feature I believe it or not I'm going to use a full segment for Google photos because it has a surprise it is definitely cooler than we thought mainly because number one it's cross-platform now works on iOS as well number two well you get fully unlimited storage for you to back up everything you want but the disclaimer that's for photos up to 16 megapixels or videos up to 1080p but even though they will be compressed you're still getting a limited storage for you to keep your stuff which is extremely cool for backups it's also smarter you can now search for photos if you took photos on a baseball game you could just write baseball and it'll know what photos were taken on baseball games and it's got this really cool sharing functionality where you no longer have to upload stuff and then share it'll back up things and then you can just select these share them with somebody these people can view them on a website or actually transport these to their Google photos application without the need of downloading and uploading again there are ton of cool features that are coming it is currently available but if you want to know more links in description and finally the hottest news up the day we're Android M it finally got announced and the Developer Preview is out today for Nexus devices it brings a lot of cool features it looks like lollipop in every way but it proves everything that lollipop did bad like volume controls RAM management battery management for example there's this new dose feature where if you leave your phone for an extended period to find a table it'll detect that and not give you notifications or use the battery until you pick it back up just cool addition to that we've got granular app controls for security just great it'll now ask you whenever it can access your photos or your messages etc but the coolest features come again with the gulu Google now on tap features in addition to the fact that Android pay now becomes official which is pretty much just a revamp of Google Wallet but for me the coolest feature was the fingerprint scanning support there's an API now that will support all the fingerprint scanners in the market now and that enables Android pay in addition to other things but it does lead me to the question of the day what was your favorite Android M announcement today or any and from google for that matter in my case I'll admit it's the fingerprint scanning API mainly because that's the reason why I like using iphone so much but leave us a comment down below what is your case friends you know the drill if you want to get the news
