Although it is aimed primarily at developers at I / O show a lot of interesting products that determine both the future of Google, and the industry as a whole.

June 26 in the online store Google Play for $ 649 you can buy Samsung Galaxy S4 with “clean» Android, unlocked by an operator and an unlocked bootloader. By all outward appearances – a classic «Nexus». Unlike the like as well as on the current Nexus 4, the modification of the flagship Samsung has a strong battery, memory card slot and gorgeous screen Full HD. The very same delicious special feature will rapidly updates the Operating System, one of the first to receive new bun Google. Most likely the “old» S4 can be turned into a “new Nexus» relatively little bloodshed.
Messenger Hangouts
Screenshots application for Hangouts iOS. No smiles = (
communication service Hangouts, formerly known under the name of Babel, replaces GTalk. The idea is good – to create a versatile cross-platform (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac) messenger, providing a text conversation, send images, video chats. Another strong feature of Hangouts – group communication, support up to 10 simultaneous participants. In presentations juicy new items more than once referred to smile, a great many of which are available (but for some reason they are not iOS, as well as sending geo-location data.) With all of the stated features, deep integration into other Google products and the ever-increasing popularity of web correspondence with Hangouts are good prerequisites to become a popular product. But there is always a “but.” Which became available yesterday Hangouts is far to stable work, and some confusion in its implementation of the present. None of the simplicity and obviousness that offer Skype, Viber, and even more so – ; WhatsApp (even though they have different capabilities). It is particularly difficult to recognize the logic in the desktop client, it is specific to say the least. In the near future will be to review UiP Hangouts, where we talk about the nuances of these details.
Google Play game service

symmetrical response Apple Game Center. The decision on which side does not look sensible – users will finally get a one-stop service for conducting a game of statistics, the organization of social play, and thanks to tight integration with Google+ it will become a full-fledged gaming the social network. In addition, Google Play game service will save game achievements (saves) than competitive solutions on the platform, as well as outside it can not boast.
Google+ re-designed and taught to automatically enhance images
In the new guise
social network will become more attractive and informative. News Feed Google+ formed in three columns, records issued in the form of cards. Photo and video in high definition will be displayed on the full width of tape, you can optionally include a representation of the flow will be one column. The network added an animation, for example – to list images in the cards for mouse pointing. But this is so, cosmetics. Much more interesting avtomatizirovnny sampling mechanism best shots and Auto-Process. The first will download unsorted photos in the social network – intelligent algorithm itself will select the successful photographs and get rid of unsuccessful shots. How do automatic uluchshayzery seen in the examples:

metamorphosis Google+ withdrawal limit for image storage of up to 2048 pixels wide and providing 15 GB of storage for larger images.

Voice service from Google and main rival Siri redesigned and made more teachable. Google Now is now able to understand more pronounced “human language” queries such as: “What is interesting to see in Paris?” Or “How to get from here to the library? ‘. In addition, now an assistant on Android can remind you to do something fairly obvious in the form to create a task and tapnut in support (like all other Siri, no kidding). The other improvements are not as interesting to our brother, but will please the Americans – to Google Now tightened information on public transport, new books, music, movies, capable of taking into account the interest you purchase history in Google Play.
