Support NeoGAF

[-Pyromaniac-]

I still think you should just go iphone or nexus. Nexus assuming you even can, I mean I'm sure you can use a prepaid card or something. I think.

Also you'd be able to use paypal to pay for apps too, which iOS wouldn't support.

the store apparently has the backend enabled for Canada prepaid cards... this happened a few days before it launched in the UK, so expectations are that it should be announced in Canada any day now.

i dont see tiny wings.... the others are there

Podcasts - pocketcasts, especially after their redesign

BG data isn't going to be enough for you to have to worry. I use my phone quite a bit and i'm under 1G some times, unless you are streaming movies over Wifi i'd say you wouldn't notice the hit of BG data.

Is Google Music live in Canada? You can use that and pin stuff for offline listening while on Wifi to save your data usage.

yeah that

of course iOS will have the better apps/easier music transferring and all that. If I was in your position I'd get the nex4.

Man I absolutely hated music transfer on iOS, or specifically iTunes. Doubling up tracks for no reason, and then making it a pain in the arse to work out why and then correcting it. Never again.

Looks like a shittier version of Firefox OS.

You're high. FF OS looks awful. Those round icons... BARF

That screenshot... just one "button." Apps at the bottom. SUBLIME!

 

[VanWinkle]

That seems to be kinda where they're going with the Android interface as they move further and further away from the Tron look.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That chrome phone looks like an inferior version of nexus 4? I don't get it. But +1 for holo light. The whole black tron thing with the blue, MEH.

 

[DrFunk]

and watch phonearena run with it

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Of course it'll never be feasible until Google kicks all the hosted apps off the Chrome Web Store and only allows packaged apps.

I could see there being an opt-in manifest setting that tells the store your app is "responsive" and would thus filter the others out on the phone.

The mind races with possibilities...

Row of apps, one button. iOS fan.

No need to try and front hating on the Fox's superior looks.

Looks like BeOS with icons from the IconFactory on a phone.

Firefox OS is an abortion.

You don't want Android and Chrome to merge, then someone merges it on paper and you're all over it.

There's nothing merged about that. It's Chrome OS on a phone.

How is that different from Android with a skin?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

How is that different from Android with a skin?

Well for one, the entire app development toolchain is different. Web apps (and Native Client) instead of Java. The system has far more robust security; sandboxing on multiple levels, encrypted partitions, an entire second copy of the system image in case the first is infected or altered. Resumes and boots instantly. Built-in Google Drive support in the file manager (oh and there's a file manager.) Better support for web standards. Automatic and seamless updates. The list goes on.

Start menu. Windows fan.

 

[Vanillalite]

Honestly I don't think FF OS looks great either. Just giving Andrex a hard time.

Out of all the new stuff Ubuntu Touch looks the best IMO.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I think they all look bad. Ubuntu, firefox, meh.

anyway, google officially launched Keep, the note-taking app.

Doesn't seem to be working in the UK yet.

Should I worry about this eventually shutting down too?

Works fine. UI is lovely. Kind of basic functions, so its not a task replacement yet, but for quick notes it's fine. I really hope they add categories and deadlines....

Why can't I download from my GN 4G? T_T

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You reader fanboys are never going to let that one go are you.

Why can't I download from my GN 4G? T_T

because GN sucks get a new phone.

 

[buhdeh]

In all seriousness, I probably need to uninstall Tasks now. I bet that's the next to go considering Keep pretty much does the same thing...

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Currents supports Audio now.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...udio-playlists-media-bars-and-audio-controls/

What's in this version:
* Audio playlist for editions with audio
* Audio media bar in app for stop, start, next, previous
* Story scanner audio icons for launching Audio directly
* Status bar audio controls when Currents audio is playing
* Syncing post read state between devices
* Bug fixes

And probably even more lag.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Ahhh you can make audio notes on keep through Google Now/The Search bar. Pretty cool. Just say make a note need to buy milk etc and then tap on the ... That appears. It'll then present the app picker allowing you to select e-mail or keep. Then it will save the note. Awesome.

I will.













At I/O.

Ubuntu looks really good IMO for a tablet. Seems a little TOO busy for a phone though IMO.

Yep sorry got it now

Verrrry nice. I like the way you can swipe away the Note cards in the Keep menu to archive them and whatnot. I just really like the card UI system in general.

This looks absolutely stunning. The card style looks great as well and the colour coding is a real nice touch. Makes me all the more sad that the Apps section is the only thing available here...

Nice. Cards are the best thing to have happened to Android since 4.0

New Play store? Very nice. I hope it foes up soon. Interested in seeing the new storefront.

Fantastic!

I hope they update the web version though (especially Music), looks like garbage right now and doesn't look like a Google site at all.

Just did for me too. Only showed my N7 at first.

 

[buhdeh]

Nice. Love how quickly Google iterates.

 

[ScOULaris]

Sweet. Loving the card-style Play Store. Here's hoping it goes live soon.

I just watched that too, looks muuuuuuuch better. And CARDS! Yes yes yes yes. Like the color coding too.

Im guessing it will be finished and rolled out during I/O with Android 5.0.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

They're finally updating the play store. Long time coming. The new look + the look of their recent iOS apps and whatnot.

I have a feeling I know how the overall aesthetic of key lime pie is going to be, and it's slick.

that play store looks great, and i agree, they have been moving to that aesthetic over their last few iterations of apps, hoping they move more that way for KLP

Amen. I thought there was supposed to be a common design language among Google's sites.

they already got me once when they shut down Google Notebook and i had to export everything to Pocket and Evernote, not falling for it again!

You reader fanboys are never going to let that one go are you.

Notebook was easily replaced. iGoogle hurt. Reader was a DAGGER. Fuck Google, just release the source, Samsung all the way.

looks terrible. harder to navigate, more scrolling, less information displayed per screen.
