Google I/O Day 1 "Jelly Bean" introduced!

Today was the very first day of Google I/O and it was great as what i had predicted we did see some hardware, new version of Android and few more Google+ updates!

Lets get started...

The new version of Android is out and is code name "JELLY BEAN." Google has really made it very smooth and really fast and it just enhaces the user experience, Google called it "PROJECT BUTTER" which makes a lot of sence as the said its smooth which it is really! The second thing in which Android already stand out great its notifications, Android notification system is already great but with 4.1 it gets even better...its has new look which really attracts the users eyes, new funtionalities, there is a new 2 finger jester for more detail on the notifications that you have got, there is a shortcut to your settings and the time and data in the notifications try is a just a little bigger and prettier. The 3rd thing got our eye in the new version of android was the Homescreen improvements which help us to organize and personalize even better then before, and the best part widgets can now be arranged in an even better way, for example, if you want to add a new widget to an already widget polluted screen, the new widget will make rome for its self like all the other widget will move out of it way, and it will even resize thing and that is really great, another new really great improvement is Google voice search or Google Now the touch bar now at the top has now become a Siri competitor, it will work without any data connection i mean will do staff in which any data connection is not required, and the voice on it is really not like a robot type voice, its really kind of a human like voice, and its really fast too. And last are the little minor updates, i mean there little but at the same time really useful and just great, like there some new very impressive new widgets and the loo great to the human eye, and the new keyboard is exceptional as now its kinda like Swiftkey keyboard, you use it for a few while then the phone learns the way you type and then after a while it will give you results of what you want to type, so that is really cool for me.

 There where many new things like the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q, and i will also write an overview about them as well, Thank You for reading guys make sure to like us on facebook  at http://www.facebook.com/TechEnGadget and Follow me on Twitter  @MKBURNINFIRE for more tech news and reviews!

Google /O "Is just around the corner!"

Hey guys guess what Google I/O is just a few hours away! and i'v got some predictions of what we might see at the event, we will see Android 4.1 or 5.0 or any other name... but the code name is "Jelly Bean." seriously people I do think we will see Android "Jelly Bean" and the other thing we might see is Hardware why? well because Google loves reveling new hardware on Google I/O it Probably won't be a Phone as seen in the past history its always the phone.

WP8 has a new and improved IE browser. The core rendering and Java Script technology is the same as it is on the desktop computers, that is good news for web authors who can create websites for PCs and they will work fine on phones, too. Other features of the new platform include Nokia Maps which were limited for only Nokia customers up till now, easier third party app development as well as re-size able Home Screen Tiles. One of the most interesting features was the new Wallet, this new feature organizes gift cards, credit cards, event tickets, secure boot and interfaces with an NFC chip. There is also one more features that "Your Data will be very safe on Windows Phone."

Windows Phone 8 "Apollo"

Windows Phone 8 will support 720p and WXGA means 768 lines of resolution in landscape mood the company said that it will support dual core and more from which we can say that we might see quad-core devices. The platform will also have a MicroSD card feature, a long term request has finally been approved guys!

At the event Microsoft said that we can expect "Killer games" WP 8 because PC game developers will have an easy time porting it to the phone. QUOTE: "You are going to see soem beefy, powerful phones running some amazing games this year, Like no games we've seen before."

Google's development of Siri Competitor "Majel"

Since October when Apple introduced Siri the personal assistant, now since then Siri has become on of iOS most recognized features. Siri was recently updated at WWDC 2012 bringing new features such as Facebook integration, support for the new iPad and many other things.

Well recently one of the top players in the mobile industry "Samsung" introduced their own Siri competitor "s voice"

S-voice was recently introduced by Samsung on its most awaited device the "Galaxy S III", S-voice has said to be a complete copy of Siri by many people but honestly speaking its has much more to it then we speak.

Google is also working on its virtual assistant named as "Majel". Majel is kept by Google after the Majel Barret-Roddenberry, who was known for voicing most of the computer interfaces in the Star Trek series.

Now the word comes from Wall Street Journal, these people claim that Google has "Accelerated Plans" to launch its very own Siri competitor, its own virtual assistant which shall be taken advantage by its very own Phones and Tablets. There is still no planned release date for it, although we do have a feeling we will see Majel in Google's up coming  I/O Developers Conference which shall be held on 27th June at Moscone Center in San-Francisco, we also think that Mejel may also be integrated in Google's new upcoming version of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).

As for now this is all the news we have with us this moment, but we sure have some strong hopes for a Powerfull Voice assistant from Google. Than You for reading and make sure to follow me on Twitter @MKBURNINFIRE for more Tech news and Reviews.

Apple's WWDC 2012

Apple just had its 23rd WWDC on 11th June 2012, Apple Introduces a couple of new things. Smoe are likely to be the same features as we have seen in ANDROID, seeing them come to iOS or iOS6 for this matter.


Apple also introduces a couple of new software updates and have also introduced its new MACBOOK PRO.  Apple have also said that SIRI will now be able to to a lot more then it could do before!
Apple has also introduced APPLE MAPS with turn by turn navigation.

But the greatest led down for most of the people was for Apple not introducing iPhone 5. People are waiting for iPhone 5 desperately particularly the APPLE FAN BOYS! Well i assume iPhone 5 will come out this year in its own special event.

One more Interesting thing was seen in WWDC this year, the banners that were being put up on the event it stated "iOS6 the world most advance mobile operating system" and honestly that is a pretty BOLD statement and well seeing those banners people at first must be like "I wonder what apple is going to show us today", but as we have all seen...nothing that great!
