Facebook Home, a lock screen and launcher replacement for Android

inmoreau — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:40:18 +0000

The family of apps that puts your friends at the heart of your phone.
With Facebook Home, everything on your phone gets friendlier. From the moment you turn it on, you see a steady stream of friends’ posts and photos. Upfront notifications and quick access to your essentials mean you’ll never miss a moment. And you can keep chatting with friends, even when you’re using other apps.

It’s all part of Facebook Home — there’s no other phone, app or operating system like it.

Available for free download on April 12.

SwiftKey Tilt – the whole-body typing experience

inmoreau — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:59:18 +0000

1 April, 2013 — SwiftKey today unveils SwiftKey Tilt, the future of smartphone typing. The revolutionary new input method transforms the everyday activity of typing into a whole-body, immersive experience. SwiftKey Tilt makes it possible to text loved ones, email colleagues and type soliloquies without even touching the screen; just rock, wiggle or shimmy your smartphone to insert words in a truly innovative way. Drawing on SwiftKey’s mind-reading word prediction ability, SwiftKey Tilt is the most significant typing innovation since the quill.

SwiftKey Tilt works by unleashing a pinball into the keyboard to power a third, exciting way to type on your device. While tapping or flowing words, the device accelerometer sends the brightly colored ball across the keyboard and when it collides with a prediction, the word is inserted.

How do you Tilt? Show us your videos and photos on Twitter using the hashtag #swiftkeytilt

Do Less – Tim O’Reilly

inmoreau — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:02:15 +0000

Entrepreneur Tim O’Reilly illustrates how a focus on doing less can be a major strength for entrepreneurs. Using products and software examples from Square, O’Reilly also explains why society is just beginning to come to grips with the possibilities of integrating software and hardware design into improving human interactions.

Short clip from “Create More Value Than You Capture”:

Transscript

So, the company that I really want to talk about the most right now is Square, and Square is interesting for a number of reasons. But I want to just ask how many of you have actually shopped in a store that has a Square Cash Register? So a fair number of you. How many of you had the Square Wallet app running when you did that? Smaller number of you. I really recommend it. It’s pretty weird when you walk into the store and they say are you Tim O’Reilly? Obviously, the clerks need a little retraining because of course they should be asking you what’s your name, so that you have to provide it and then you get two-factor authentication instead they just looking at your name on the cash register and your face, but still you look like yourself, you probably are okay. But there are a number of wonderful things, lessons in this app I want to tease them apart. The first one is to do less. We hear a lot in the mobile world about how it’s a small screen, we hear about how people use mobile devices differently, but there is something that’s incredibly important that’s going on in mobile that I think we’re just beginning to understand. And that is that your mobile device knows so much that you don’t have to tell it as much as you use to. I am an investor in Foursquare, but I still think how stupid is it that I have to check in somewhere. I mean, my phone already knows I’m there. I’m an investor in RunKeeper, but I say why do I have to tell my phone that I started running? It knows I started running. It knows when I stopped. And one of the things that I love about Square is that Jack has exploited this. When you show up in that store, if you are running the Square Wallet app, your identity is broadcast to any Square Cash Registers. Now if you talk to a merchant, he will say oh, yeah sometimes we get people in the next store over, it’s not like a real check-in. But the fact is, Jack figured out I don’t actually have to ask the user to tell me that they’re there. The phone tells the Cash Register that it’s in the vicinity without any human intervention, other than starting the app and running it in the background. Now there may be some battery issues with that and so on, but think about that as a trend and a theme that you’ve got to come to grips with in designing apps. We now have devices that have so much information, so much implicit context, and it’s going to be I think a revolution as we take away more and more of the instructions that we give to the device and realize, oh wait we can just assume that.

NEW Google Keep kills Evernote?

inmoreau — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 05:38:12 +0000

Save what’s on your mind and remember anything you need wherever you are. With Google Keep, stay on top of your world by quickly accessing and organizing the information you want. Enter a note with your voice, add a photo, or just type a list. All your notes are instantly saved across your devices.

Every day we all see, hear or think of things we need to remember. Usually we grab a pad of sticky-notes, scribble a reminder and put it on the desk, the fridge or the relevant page of a magazine. Unfortunately, if you’re like me you probably often discover that the desk, fridge or magazine wasn’t such a clever place to leave the note after all…it’s rarely where you need it when you need it.

To solve this problem we’ve created Google Keep. With Keep you can quickly jot ideas down when you think of them and even include checklists and photos to keep track of what’s important to you. Your notes are safely stored in Google Drive and synced to all your devices so you can always have them at hand.

If it’s more convenient to speak than to type that’s fine—Keep transcribes voice memos for you automatically. There’s super-fast search to find what you’re looking for and when you’re finished with a note you can archive or delete it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbvkHEDvw-o

Changing priorities isn’t a problem: just open Keep on your Android phone or tablet (there’s a widget so you can have Keep front and center all the time) and drag your notes around to reflect what matters. You can choose the color for each note too.

Pro tip: for adding thoughts quickly without unlocking your device there’s a lock screen widget (on devices running Android 4.2+).

Google Keep is available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above. You can access, edit and create new notes on the web at http://drive.google.com/keep and in the coming weeks you’ll be able to do the same directly from Google Drive.
