links of a motorola sideboard a point to service for verizon the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now live in Europe and google music leaves beta and is 713 all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hi meta data with pocketnow.com and welcome to android revolution the show we go through what's hot and what's not inside the world of Google's Android project let's start this week off with what's hot so what's happening with google music well six months after was launched in beta it's finally available for android customers what this does is allow you to upload up to 20,000 songs for free to your personal cloud library and then stream it to your devices you can also now purchase music in the android market for similar prices to what you already know in itunes and amazon you can even share songs with your friends in google+ for them to play at least once and see if the song is good or not it also allows independent artists to be able to sell their music in the android market which is really cool because currently in itunes and amazon you can't actually do that now this is not all fun and games because first of all warner music is not selling music there and also well you'd wonder if streaming music is actually a good solution when nowadays and limited data plans have ceased to exist is this really a good competitor for iTunes and Amazon music well you be the judge you can download the application for free in the android market begin uploading your music and test it out and tell us in the comments down below what you think about google music so far and while speaking of more google the motorola stockholders have now finally approved the merger for the mobile device section to now be merged with google for a 12.5 billion dollar deal not sure when this merger will allow us to get some Nexus devices being built by Motorola but indeed it seems that google and motorola would be separate entities that are working differently and bringing different devices not necessarily tied to google but time will tell so let's see what happens aside from that wall it's good to know that the Google Checkout service is now going to be merging to the google wallet application so even if you don't have an NFC capable device you can now use the google wallet application the purchase stuff not necessarily just stuck to NFC so all really cool changes let's see what happens with that merger because we are expecting a Nexus device that looks like the droid razr that would be cool at other releases for the week the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in there for Android 4.3 sandwich is now a reality for some people in the world the lucky ones are probably out there in the right now so so far the initial impressions of the phone are quite good though nothing's really perfect so wait for the phone to get to our pocket now labs and we'll tell you what's hot and what's not about the device you'll even be happy to know that AT&T is asking their customers through their Google+ page if they'd be willing to buy the phone so vote everybody because we definitely want that phone to make it to the AT&T network and other networks in the United States and while I bet your next question would be what other phones are getting ice cream sandwich and while the list is actually nicely extensive first of all the samsung galaxy is to line up is definitely getting it deciphered that some other sony ericsson devices that were released recently are getting it HTC is not really sure yet we haven't really gotten anything official and well we already know that the motorola droid razr is getting it and what the merger will most probably see other devices getting it through the merger now obviously ice cream sandwich is definitely worth it so if you're out there to buy an android smartphone this holiday season our advice to you is wait it up until you're clear if you're going to get an upgrade or not hopefully the best thing is for you to get the newest hard work but the Galaxy Nexus is nothing really different to the current galaxy s2 devices that are out there accessible except for the hardware button so that could be your next purchase now out of this week's rumors have a look at the recent images we published of a motorola droid xyboard 8.2 that's apparently coming to verizon now the interesting news here is that it seems that Motorola's planning to bitch the zoom to and zoom to mini edition tablets that they mentioned recently and apparently they're only going to be launching them as the droid xyboard weird name 8.21 10.1 now the difference between these two tablets is actually only designed and not really significant so let's hope that Motorola ends up publishing for devices and not only to the more the merrier and well aside from that we also caught other tablets like for example the HTC Quattro which as the name entails in Spanish for it actually brings the first quad-core processor to a tablet now this goes hand in hand with the HTC edge that we recently leaked so it does bring the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor that we talked about recently so hit the link in the description for details on the device and well we also recently leaked images of an LG majestic that's headed to us a cellular so make sure you hit the link in the description for details because this is another optimus black device Varian that's not really compelling out of this week's coverage make sure you catch Nicky Adams video unboxing of the Amazon Kindle Fire which looks anything but an Android tablet now if you really want to make that thing look like an android tablet well we've got your back Vicki also provides us with a full how to video on how to root your amazon kindle fire and then load any version of android that you want so is it worth it for 200 bucks definitely I mean it's definitely a crop down tablet but for 200 bucks it's a no-brainer if you can root it so also catch Stan Webster's recent video coverage of the samsung galaxy note which seems to not only be big in size but also in quality and while Joe Levi's is round the videos of the motorola droid razr or up so make sure you don't miss them out that does it for what's hot let's continue on with what's not and while this is not funny at all if you own any Samsung Android smartphone and are either running or have ever ran the accuweather application your device is exposing your geolocation data without your permission now you think manufacturers developers and even Google would figure this out whenever they approve an application but it seems I don't so write down the fix you have two options first of all you can go into the settings of the accuweather widget and deactivate the automatic location data and set it to manually or you can just root your device and deactivate and delete the application altogether whichever option you think about is best because obviously you're geolocation data could be exposed to hackers so beware of this that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm high Meadow iveta remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
