What happened in Google IO 2015?

It’s been a week after Google IO 2015 and there are tons of new things announced in there. Firstly Google IO is the developers conference held once in a year by Google in which they announce their new products and updates. As usually I started the keynote in the Google IO app for android. The 2 hour keynote went pretty exciting through out. With their amazing kickoff minute event last year, I was waiting to see how this year’s going to be and to my surprise this year 60-second countdown was awesome. Alright lets see what actually happened in that 2 hour window.

• Android M

And the series of letters continued. Android M is not going to be a major update like Jelly bean or Lollipop. It’s more like a minor polish over previous version of android. It’s currently available as developer preview.

• Upgrades to Google Play and App Permissions

Good news to developers. Now Google play apps have even more visibility and a new way to showcase their apps. Kid Focus is what groups the apps based on the popular characters. So if you have a Micky in your app, you can find in under Micky Mouse category. Pretty cool huh! App Permissions is notable and more welcoming to android. Now you can control the permissions you gave to app within the app itself. In the previous versions you have to allow all the permissions at the time of installation. Now you can find a permissions tab inside app’s settings page.

• Google Cardboard and Jump

Virtual Reality(VR) is the trending technology in the valley right now and Google hit it in a different. In the last year’s IO they have announced Project Cardboard.Will talk about the Cardboard separately(its pretty interesting). Jump is a new project announced by Google. Jump is an open system for designing 360-degree video capture rigs, which will in-turn capture data to be processed into immersive 3D imagery for VR headsets. Take a look at the camera they designed and it’s awesome.

Is Amazon Fire Phone going to be your next Smart Phone ?

Amazon Fire Phone. Yes, it is true and it is finally here.

But wait is it going to be your next phone ?

Amazon is finally into the mobile market with their so called “Fire Phone”. It is basically an Android phone which runs Amazons’s custom skin. As expected Amazon is deeply integrated into the device. So is the device like the regular smart phone on the market today?

Weird Specs

Amazon Fire Phone is not just an android phone with 5.5″ display. There is something interesting in there. It is android phone but amazon says that the phone runs “Fire OS 3.5”. Why did they even do that!! It has no access to Google play store or Apple app store and hence apps are limited and can be counted on fingers.

Have you ever seen a phone with more than one camera on the front? Here you go this device has 4 cameras other than the two regular cameras.

For every problem

Have you ever irritated because of the stuff around you going wrong? I really feel myself frustrated when my mobile doesn’t respond to me or the computer doesn’t do what I said and the television malfunctions when my favorite program is running. What will be your immediate action?

I recently found many people around me facing these kind of irritations and in fact I too encountered. Let me exemplify a couple of such situations. Sony Bravia is the imported television set which my aunt owns. It recently went black while watching it. Then they gave it for repair to a Sony service center in their locality. After a few weeks they returned their TV replacing a few components in it. Later we found out that they completely replaced the components in it with those of another similar model. Now we have been facing the problem of updating its software. One more such situation we encountered with a water tap. When we just called a plumber and enquired about the problem. He just charged us with a 500 rupee bill. Within a week we encountered the same problem with another pipe. What should we do now? We just left it unused. Later an electrician came to repair a fan and saw that pipe problem. He just adjusted the water level through that pipe. That’s it, the problem is solved.
