My body is ready!

 

[mturco]

No, that would be iOS 7 ("Glass"/"Frosted Glass.")

This is just straight transparency. It's classier and less skeuomorphic.

Apple overdoes the frosted glass. It really only works when you have wallpaper as the background anyway. Otherwise it's just a mess of random blurred blobs of color.

 

[kharma45]

Will the Carphone Warehouse be selling it at the same price as Google?

Not a chance.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

My google wallet is ready!!

 

[kharma45]

Ebuyer want £500 for the 16GB

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Dinosur]

Any Google Now-big feature you're waiting/hoping for?

Maybe something to implement it into the lock screen (or even a widget). I like the concept, but since I pretty much only use it to check times for two sports team, I forget to peruse it most days.

My commute to work is 8-10 minutes and it's awesome with flights but I barely fly nowadays either. Also never been a calendar person because I'm boring.

 

[GK86]

Give me article suggestions from sites I visit.

 

[kharma45]

Any Google Now-big feature you're waiting/hoping for?

For it to work properly in the UK and not just tell me football scores for teams I don't support.

Chrome being as decent as AOSP browser

I just want it to do more stuff. It'd be nice to have "OK Google" get closer to the level of natural language responses that Siri does. As of now the number of phrases are kinda limited, I find myself trying to go find out what it can do and learning those things. More cards would be neat too, WOW ME!

 

[G17]

Does anyone know if there is a browser with quick controls outside of the stock browser?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Just cross-posting from the Android thread because I'm curious:

So, did anyone guess Halloween as the KitKat and Nexus 5 announce date? It makes perfect sense when you think about it, plus it's a genius marketing move when you consider Halloween is probably the single most day for candy sales.

A lot of people, yes.

There already is a Google Now widget, which you can put on your lock screen, if you wish.

 

[Baroquemantic]

A lot of people, yes.

Figures, I just don't recall seeing anyone guess it (not that I thought I was the first), and I've been following Nexus5 and KitKat rumors just as long as anyone else. Guess I just wasn't paying attention, haha.

Well having it working like the Moto X is pretty much what you're asking for.
I'd love for it to be able to toggle WiFi, BT, data and so on with voice like Siri.

"Ok Google switch to LTE"
"Ok Google turn Bluetooth off"

That'd be pretty handy

And this. So much.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Lol i'm going through a play store shipping thread for tje new N7 and one of the people placed an order on July 26 with 2 day shipping and didn't get it until August 15. Smh

 

[DagsJT]

Huh, I never knew that. Is there a way to have multiple widgets on one screen? I'd like my Google Now and clock on the same page really.

 

[Divvy]

I still can't believe they won't have a press conference for KitKat.

They had one for a 0.01 update

 

[mturco]

Huh, I never knew that. Is there a way to have multiple widgets on one screen? I'd like my Google Now and clock on the same page really.

Nope. Not in 4.3 anyway.

I still can't believe they won't have a press conference for KitKat.

Yeah it's really strange and unprecedented. Well, I guess 4.2 didn't have an event because of the hurricane but there was an event planned.

 

[gutshot]

Two widgets on one page at the lock screen? No, I don't think that is possible. At least not in stock.

 

[tino]

Haha just won 2 more kitkat codes today to fund the Nexus 5.

 

[Koko]

1 hour!

 

[Sectorseven]

1 hour!

Until the next release date.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Haha just won 2 more kitkat codes today to fund the Nexus 5.

I only bought two bars and I won $5. Wish I had bought more.

 

[DagsJT]

1 hour!

Isn't it 2 hours? 11am PST/7pm GMT?

 

[Divvy]

Isn't it 2 hours? 11am PST/7pm GMT?

Yeah, which is in less than an hour

EDIT: dunno about GMT, remember that daylight savings time hasn't happened yet in the US

 

[BigFwoosh]

Until the next release date.

Honestly, after what happened with all the rumored Galaxy Nexus dates I fully anticipate this. Or nothing at all.

 

[RoadHazard]

So the big news is...?

That the search takes place right on the home screen, with the results overlayed on the screen, instead of a separate app (Google Search/Now) opening when you tap the search field, which is what happens now.

 

[Koko]

Until the next release date.

 

[Yoshiya]

Haha just won 2 more kitkat codes today to fund the Nexus 5.

does promotional credit work on devices? doesn't seem so for me.

 

[MattDoza]

does promotional credit work on devices? doesn't seem so for me.

Nah, it doesn't.

 

[tino]

does promotional credit work on devices? doesn't seem so for me.

Oh wow you are right. Guess I have enough Play store credit for next 5 years then.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So uhhh

 

[Stat Flow]

So is it really happening in 26 minutes?

 

[malyce]

So is it really happening in 26 minutes?

People are sure getting their hopes up.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So uhhh

So is it really happening in 26 minutes?

No one knows!

It seems so... unlikely, yet I trust Artem!

 

[SimleuqiR]

People are sure getting their hopes up.

Hopes? nah.

But you have to be ready for anything. You snooze, you loose.

 

[SUPREME1]

People are sure getting their hopes up.

This phone will be to the G2, what the N4 was to the G1. That's a given.

Except that it will also have the best part of the MotoX... the software features.

Googy da boss.

Before anyone misinterprets this, this was a prank from one person to another. It was NOT sent by Google.

Lol, too late.

It's a joke, guys. You think Google would troll someone that bad?

 

[Zeppu]

T-minus 11 minutes.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Not really, but it would be amazing if they did.
