11 Biggest Revelations From Google I/O


#5 Nothing new for Google TV

There was no big news about Google TV, except for new software updates for the platform. Android 4.2.2 is en route along with a new, current version of Chrome. However users were looking forward for a full updated to Google TV which would have made it easy to port with Smartphone apps and games to the TV screen, that would have made things far easier for developers. LG’s own press release confirms as much, promising that "games that provide a greater level of interactivity and advanced graphics" are on the way, but it may take longer than expected.

#4 New Cards for Google Now

Say “OK Google” and start a search without keystrokes or screen taps. From there, you can perform standard search tasks like asking for directions or searching the web, but also set voice reminders, send emails and search for media attached to your Google+ account.

Google Now, the virtual-assistant service, will be able to tell you about upcoming TV shows and video games and provide real-time public transit updates in select cities. You can also use voice commands to set reminders on your phone, and Google Now will nudge you at the appropriate time. Google Now also got new cards with public transportation data and book, movie, and music recommendations.
