Will Google Now Be Coming To YOUR Device?
It looks like Google Now is on its way to iOS, Windows 8 and Chromebooks users. Google Now gives you personalized, up to date information as you need it. The Google search app delivers today’s weather, your Google Calendar appointments, directions to home or work (depending on what time of day it is), a heads up to nearby events, the score from your favorite sports team’s latest game, boarding passes, package tracking, dinner reservations and a lot more. There was reportedly a Google ad promoting Google Now on the iPhone and iPad that was later pulled from Youtube. No one at Google would comment on the the Youtube Google video ad.
Windows Surface Tablet Officially Labeled A Dud !!!!
Poor Microsoft haven’t been to move any units with its Surface Tablet. So everyone has offically labeled it a dud in the smartphone market. And we could see Microsoft giving the Tablet the R.I.P. treatment real soon. Ars Technica’s Peter Bright wrote nobody wants the device and are avoiding the tablet as much as possible. This might be Microsofts most disappointing product since Windows Vista. “In spite of having all the working parts of Windows 8, however, it can’t (officially) be used to run desktop applications, even if the developers of those applications are willing to recompile for the ARM processor,” Bright writes. “Instead, all applications must come through the Windows Store, and be built using theWinRT API.” Does Windows have a chance in the Tablet market?
