Google I/O Day 1 So far

Alot has happened so far today at the Google I/O event So to Recap Today's main events:



1) Android 4.1 JellyBean







Google has announced their new operating system for their phones. Key Features include faster and smoother animations, improved UI, a "smarter keyboard", faster camera and much more.... expect a full review from us when the update is pushed out in Mid July



2) Google Nexus 7







This is Google's answer to the infamous ( and overly hyped) iPad. Priced at $199, this small 7" tablet comes with Android 4.1 Jellybean pre-installed. It also features a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 and a 1280 x 800 IPS screen. Google has teamed up with Asus to bring you this somewhat intriguing tablet ( although the low price concerns me as tablets are normally 2-3 times that of which this once costs.




3) Google Nexus Q









This sphere shaped device is Google's answer to Apple TV. It is a multimedia box that allows Android devices to connect to speakers and Televisions that are connected to this device. It allows multiple users to choose what music they would like to play, or what movie to watch. The interesting thing behind this , is that this device can stream all of this content, directly from the cloud ( as opposed to from the device). Essentially you are controlling the cloud with your Android device.


And that is all for now.... stay tuned for more updates.....
