Google has finally revealed what it will take to get your hands on a functional version of Google Glass, but it's not as easy as you think. First, you need to be an attendee at Google I/O: if you're not there, you won't be able to pre-order the glasses. Second, the price is going be a whopping $1,500 for the Explorer Edition.

Yes, you read that right. $1,500. Not only that, but you won't be getting your hands on the glasses until early next year. The Explorer Edition that will be sent out is said to be a very rough version of the project designed for testing and developing, with Google appreciating any feedback sent its way.

Portanto, só daqui a 10 anos dizia o Mini0n harhar.gif

Um resumo

Android Jelly Bean, Nexus 7 and Nexus Q

If Android ICS (4.0) was about a completely new user interface,

Jelly Bean (4.1) is about refining that interface, improving the performance and adding more features.

Google's Project Butter made Android 4.1 more responsive. The interface is smoother, scrolling feels faster, transitions and animations look better. "Android 4.1 reduces touch latency not only by synchronizing touch to vsync timing, but also by actually anticipating where your finger will be at the time of the screen refresh. This results in a more reactive and uniform touch response. In addition, after periods of inactivity, Android applies a CPU input boost at the next touch event, to make sure there's no latency," explains Google.

Jelly Bean comes with rich notifications that can include more content and buttons. Notifications can be expanded and turn into powerful widgets so you can preview photos, share news articles, snooze alerts without opening an app.

Android's keyboard now predicts what you are about to type. "The language model in Jelly Bean adapts over time, and the keyboard even guesses what the next word will be before you've started typing it." The nice thing is that you don't need an Internet connection to see the suggestions. Google even made Android's text-to-speech feature work offline, but only for English.

Google's search app has a new interface that does a better job at handling simple questions. Instead of displaying a list of search results, Google only shows the Knowledge Graph OneBox that includes an answer, a thumbnail and a link to the source. Voice Search has also improved: you no longer need to use predefined commands, it understands natural language and it speaks back to you, just like Siri.

Sometimes you don't need to type a query to find relevant information. Your Android phone knows a lot about you and can help you solve problems without even asking it. Google Now is a new app that offers a lot of useful information depending on your location, your calendar events, your Google queries and more. It shows weather reports, "how much traffic to expect before you leave for work, when the next train will arrive as you're standing on the platform, or your favorite team's score while they’re playing".

Android 4.1 also adds support for Google Cloud Messaging, encryption for all paid apps, smart app updates (only what's changed is downloaded), multicast DNS-based service discovery (applications can easily find other wireless devices), USB audio, multichannel audio (including native AAC 5.1), audio chaining, as well as an interface for choosing where to play media.

There are many audio-related improvements and one of the main reasons for that is a new Android device called Nexus Q. It's a streaming player that costs $299, is made in the US and bridges services like Google Play and YouTube with your speakers and your TV. It comes with a 25W amplifier, it has a dual-core ARM CPU, it runs Android 4.0 and it has a lot of ports (micro HDMI, optical audio, Ethernet, jack speaker, micro USB). It's pretty heavy (2 pounds/923 grams), looks like a sphere and has LEDs that change their color when you're playing music. It's a combination of Apple TV, Boxee Box and Sonos players, but it's rather expensive and limited.

Google also launched Nexus 7, a 7-inch Android tablet manufactured by Asus that will compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire. It has a 1280x800 IPS display with Gorilla glass, a Tegra 3 CPU, 8/16 GB of internal storage, 1 GB of RAM, a front-facing camera and it weighs 340 grams, but the device is not about specs. Nexus 7 integrates with Google Play, which now also offers magazine subscriptions, TV shows and movie purchases. Nexus 7 costs $199 (the 8 GB version) or $249 (the 16 GB version), it's Wi-Fi only and it doesn't support SD cards. Nexus 7 looks like a strong contender for the most popular 7-inch tablet and it's probably the cheapest off-contract Android device that's worth buying.

Both devices will ship in mid-July, but you can pre-order them from the Nexus store, assuming that they're available in your country. Nexus Q is only available in the US, while Nexus 7 can be purchased if you are in the US, Canada, UK or Australia. "Nexus 7 comes preloaded with some great entertainment, including the movie 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon,' the book 'The Bourne Dominion,' magazines like Condé Nast Traveler and Popular Science, and songs from bands like Coldplay and the Rolling Stones. We've also included a $25 credit to purchase your favorite movies, books and more from Google Play, for a limited time,"mentions Google.

When will Jelly Bean be available? "Starting in mid-July, we'll start rolling out over-the-air updates to Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom and Nexus S, and we'll also release Jelly Bean to open source," explains Google. Another good news is that, starting with Android 4.1, there's a PDK (platform development kit) that's shared with OEMs a few months before each Android release so that they have more information about the new features and start updating their software early.

There are now more than 400 million Android devices and 1 million devices are activated every day. Google Plays hosts more than 600,000 apps.

Perks o vídeo que puseste da Keynote é privado. Não sabe de outro?

Bloquearam este, não encontro outro :(

O Mini0n falou em 10 anos para se ver aquilo que se via naquele vídeo. Aqueles detalhes, aquela qualidade, aquela tecnologia. <_<

pega lá o live skydive com os google glasses

Estás a descrever aquilo como sendo um smartphone muito pequeno.

Caguei nisso. Isso claro que mais ano menos ano está feito.

Eu quero é ver como aquilo me aparece no olho. Com aquele detalhe. O que eu acho que vai demorar (oxalá não demore e eu engula o sapo :-..) é isso. A forma de mostrar conteúdo.

O resto já existe. Um processador com SO e net.

Provavelmente é um deserto, de qualquer forma hoje é o primeiro aniversário do G+

De certeza que eles vão falar no número de pessoas que usa aquilo, se bem que devemos ser 2 ou 3

Perks, não percebo o hype à voltas dos óculos, estou com o Min nesta. Câmaras já existem faz muitos anos, live stream e net também. Utilidade prática? Para já nenhuma se não particularizarmos. Agora que a partir daí podem vir milhentas coisas sim, é verdade, mas ainda não são realidade.

Isto não é só um facto de ser uns óculos.

É basicamente um smartphone totalmente comandado por voz, em que a imagem é projetada no vidro.

Não é bem uns óculos + câmara + net

Sim, mas Perks, o que interessa e é inédito são os óculos em si. A imagem projectada, como a vês e como interages com ela.

O resto (câmara + net) já existe.

Um gajo quer é ver o que utilizador vê. O resto é booooring porque não é nada de novo.

ASUS vai vender Nexus 7 de 16GB por €249

Apresentado durante a abertura do Google I/O, o Nexus 7 é um tablet fabricado pela ASUS. Vendido pelo Google por €199 na versão de 8GB, ficámos a saber que a ASUS também irá comercializar o Nexus 7 mas na versão de 16GB e por… €249!

google_nexus-7_06.jpg

O Nexus 7 é um tablet que funciona sobre a nova versão do Android, a 4.1 aka Jelly Bean, e que vem equipado com um processador quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 a 1,3GHz (com GPU de 12 núcleos), um ecrã HD de 7 polegadas com resolução de 1.280×800 pixels e protecção Corning FIT Glass, 1GB de RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, receptor GPS, NFC, uma câmara frontal de 1,2 megapixels e uma bateria de 4.325 mAh que lhe confere uma autonomia de 9 horas.

google_nexus-7_05.jpg

Apesar de (pelos vistos) não ter uma entrada para um cartão microSD, 16GB já começa a ser mais confortável e o preço a que irá ser vendido continua, a meu ver, a ser muito interessante. Se bem que por €250 já começamos a aproximar-nos da oferta de outros fabricantes como o Galaxy Tab 2 de 7 polegadas da Samsung…

Acho engraçado nesse artigo dizerem que o preço começa a aproximar-se do Galaxy Tab 2 lol...

O Tab 2, é mais caro e é pior.

Ecrã com menos resolução, CPU e GPU bons mas bastante pior que o Tegra 3.

Esta review do nexus 7 é fantástica, podia destacar alguns parágrafos só para parecer bem, mas vale pela leitura completa

http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3125396/google-nexus-7-review


BTW brace yourselves

Digitimes claims that Google has placed an order for 10 inch touch panels from company Wintek. The tech giant had purchased 500,000 touch panels from Wintek also for the Nexus 7 tablet and something tells us that they’ll need more and more to keep up with demand.

Acabei de ver agora essa vídeo Review... Dass muito muito bom... Por 200€, não há nada minimamente comparável.

O objectivo da Google deve ser mesmo o de tentar vender o Tablet que nem paezinhos quentes, mesmo que não tenham lucro com ele.

Não é só por ser barato, é tudo

Aqui têm uma review de alguém que diz que só usa apple

"Este é o primeiro produto não apple onde eu gastaria dinheiro"

"Fluido como um iPad"

http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/29/nexus-7/#s:dsc02161

É impressionante a unanimidade que este pequeno brinquedo obteve entre tanto iOS como Android ou WP users

Poder juntar a suavidade do iOS com o "box to box" do android é definitivamente uma milestone brutal
