Well, they already have it in Glass.

Nope. Glass has to be awake first to recognize commands. Which is done by tapping the side.

Should you wait for the mythical Motorola X Phone?

everyone's talking about it!

Boy people are getting pissed.

google's fault for not tempering the hype and only adding to it.

Hmmm yeah.

But you can also move your head up to wake it up. :O

Just like Google+

Phone+ would actually be a pretty neat name. "+" could be Google's "i."

Google+ is amazing, eff y'all.

Stock/Google-infused Android should definitely be called Android+.

 

[giga]

They should honestly kill "Android" -- both the OS and name -- and rename Chrome OS to Google+ and run that on phones. It would sell gangbusters. That's what everyone really wants.

First lets see the Motorola Nexus X Phone™

Then we'll see where we go from there.

Honestly that's 100% what I want to happen. Except the renaming, that's just dumb.

Are you kidding me? Yes, let's kill off an OS that was made for phones and convert an OS that's essentially just a browser (made to be used with a mouse). Makes perfect sense.

And not even most Android fanatics want that, let alone most Android users (who don't even know what Android or Chrome OS is). If anything, Chrome OS needs to become more like Android.

 

[DrFunk]

what if it's called 'Phone X'

 

[Jayayess1190]

Switch to Windows Phone app is here. Goes great with this phone.

Are you thinking about switching to Windows Phone and want a convenient way to migrate your app experiences over? Look no further, Windows Phone has an app for that!
Use Switch to Windows Phone to see how many of your Android apps are available on Windows Phone. Just run Switch to Windows Phone on your Android, and this app will check to see if your installed apps are available in the Windows Phone Store. It’s that easy.
Then (if you choose) Switch to Windows Phone can save your results so you can retrieve them later on your new Windows Phone and install the apps. You don’t need to remember every app you had on your Android, and you download only the apps you want.
Features:
• Scan the installed apps on your phone
• Find the Windows Phone equivalents
• Save the personalized match results to retrieve later on your Windows Phone

The new Play Store was finally pushed on to my phone. I really like it, it's more aesthetically pleasing, and I like how they went back to the green and white theme.

New Editoral post over at Android Police, funny read.

[Editorial] Stop Making Crap Up And Then Whining About It

Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? The year was 2012, the Galaxy S III and the HTC One X were still new, and some jerk on the internet suggested that maybe it's cool if people started appreciating their amazing phones instead of complaining about how their device wasn't revolutionary.

In the time since then, certain segments of the tech community have opted to go in the other direction. Rather than accept that smartphones are incredible and that the wow-factor comes from using them instead of hyped up tech events, some people believe that the next revolution is just right around the corner. Which, you know, is true. Technically. That's the thing about technology: it keeps getting better and continues to wow us.

But then...they started giving it names.

mostly good but i don't see why people with GB/ICS should shut up about not having Google Now on their phones, even if it's a butchered iOS style version...

i bet Babel will require Google+

This article has a screenshot that supposedly shows that you'll need to connect a G+ account to share photos. It calls itself Google Talk, though, and everything else has specifically been called Babel. Something doesn't quite add up, although I've heard theories that Babel is the code name and everything will be brought in under the Google Talk banner at launch.

Bleh at those weird tapered edges. Do not want.

Thoughts on the Google I/O session announcements.

 

[Groof]

All this talk about changing the Android name to Google+ is deliciously stupid.

 

[Toki767]

So I'm thinking of installing CM 10.1 or some other AOSP/AOKP rom to my GS3. Are things like bluetooth, bad wifi connections, bad call quality still around? The bugs that were around in CM 10 which I think was the last time I used a custom rom.

Install the M2 build for CM10.1. It's pretty much perfect on the s3. All of the releases that came afterward are using a newer kernel that still has some annoying issues and worse performance as well. M2 with the Ondemand governor and ROW scheduler is very smooth, stable, and has great battery life. I've had literally no issues whatsoever with it.

Wow the new store is hideous. Light green text on white background... brilliant.

According to prolific phone leaker Evleaks, the device is codenamed "M4" and will feature a 4.3-inch 720p display, an "UltraPixel" camera similar to the HTC One's, a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, Android 4.2, and LTE connectivity.

If this happens I believe it can become quite popular. The demand for a smaller, higher end Android phone is huge and this would be pretty just that.

My girlfriend desperately needs a new phone but she hates large screens, she wants an iPhone 5 and I have been trying to find Andoid alternatives. This might do the trick!
