Google has confirmed the departure of Rubin, after The Wall Street Journal reported on there. Rubin was the co-founder of the company Android, which was acquired by Google in 2005. In the eight years that followed, in which Android became the market leader in mobile operating systems, Rubin remained at the helm of the Android division of Google.

When Rubin led the department, took that including Boston Dynamics, which developed include robots for the US military. Multiple robot companies, The role of Rubin in the robotic division of Google is taken over by James Kuffner, a researcher in that department.

It is not entirely clear why Rubin leaves. According to a usually well-informed US tech journalist, Jessica Lessin, Rubin found that his department operated robot not independent enough from Google at Google. That would explain why he’s now set up incubator , a kind of breeding ground for start-ups in the field of robot technology. An Rubin says he simply wanted to do something new. According to analyst firm IDC Rubin is possible, however, forced left.

It is not the only change in the top at Google. Last week, Google CEO Larry Page announced yet a large part of its duties over to Sunder Pichai, who has presided over Android and Chrome. Doing so would be allowed to focus more on the bigger picture and he would charge about Google X and Nest hold.

Under his leadership, that branch of Google made a number of acquisitions. In response Page know Rubin late to wish a bright future, and he thanked him for his work. “With Android, he really has something beautiful put down and over one million satisfied users agree with that. Thank you!” Rubin

Rubin worked since 2005 at Google since the search giant, the company behind mobile operating system Android took over. Rubin led the platform in subsequent years to the height at which it now stands. Android has a share of about 80 percent of the smartphone market worldwide.

Rubin says he had no problems with independence and that he has gone away because he wanted to do something new.

An analyst from IDC that the departure of Rubin unscheduled sounds: “you might as Rubin voluntarily had left her, thinking that he had at least put off a portion of the robot project so that something could be shown for his departure.”

Robot Division

Google took led by Rubin numerous robot companies, but it is still unclear exactly what the company wants to achieve and what progress has already been made.

Review Philips 55PUS8809: stylish 4K TV with Android – Android World

The Philips 55PUS8809 is one of the first TVs that runs on Android, and of course we are very curious how this works. We received a review copy of this 55 inch 4K TV and it started working, Android has added value in a device in the Philips 8800 series?

Philips 55PUS8809

The Philips 55PUS8809 is one of the products from the 8800 series from Philips and runs on Android. This is one of the first television programs running on this operating system, but can be also want to know the Smart TV apps used. A beautiful combination and together with the 4K screen and stylish design I looked forward to the review period of the Philips 55PUS8809. Precisely because this is one of the first TVs on Android, this is my first review of such a device, nice! What I’m particularly curious about is whether Android really offers added value and there I found out now!

Design

The design of the Philips 55PUS8809 is stylish and very tight. An aluminum border around the screen and two subtle feet to the bottom of this TV provide direct a classy look. Partly because of this minimalist looks and thickness of 3.8 cm it looks like a slim whole, something that can be like me. Despite the thickness, it is a striking device, they always said something about it when visitors came over the floor. Nice detail is the webcam automatically slide out from under the Philips logo at the bottom of the device, it can also be retracted easily again (manual) and is therefore not in the way.

Ambilight

Now I own a (older) Philips Ambilight TV which is still projected on the wall via two tubes on the side, self Philips 55PUS8809 is a relief that matter. The Ambilight is much more visible and also adds something to viewing content on this device. The color on the wall behind the TV is the experience slightly more intense and individual LEDs on the rear cover to the Ambilight pleasant experience

Android

Leave I begin to report that we tested a developer version of the software which have some bugs in sat inquiry teaches us that these are not present in the stable versions of the software. Therefore, we have Android itself and most functions can test more than enough.

On the Philips 55PUS8809 running Android, an interesting choice of Philips, because this is not yet the official Android TV version is that has been announced. This TV runs on a customized version of Android based on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean). One of the biggest advantages of Android on a TV are of course the apps, they must offer added value. There is 2.7 GB of free space to install apps and games, this should be more than enough but if you’re planning to go quite gaming this could be a limiting factor as many graphics need to be downloaded.

This TV will be on the device itself is not Android 5.0 (not the official version of Android TV) received, but will be from 2015 or an external ultra HD media player comes on Android 5.0 that provides all the features of this latest Android version. This means that will support the mouse pointer disappear, unfortunately. The big difference with Android TV will mainly be in the interface, apps and content centrally stand here and looks visually much more attractive. It is also easier for developers to create apps for Android TV, or it can also run on the Jelly Bean version (without external media player) is not entirely clear.

Android TV interface

Apps are of course standard on a smart TV today and this is also the case with the 55PUS8809. These can be supplemented by apps from the Play Store, which is installed by default on the TV. As a result, many additional features and functionality to add some. Unfortunately, not all apps available, but that is not something the manufacturer can do something about it. Developers should specify explicit, these are suitable for screens and controls like on a TV. Therefore it could be that apps are not displayed for a search in the Play Store. An example is Hangouts. It is simply not possible for the app to use on this Android TV, Skype contrast works simply and is very convenient and especially nice with the integrated webcam.

The real killer app for TVs I have not found, but there are many apps that interesting, such as RTL XL and Uitzendinggemist, Plex, Evernote, Office, IMDB and lake. One of the most brilliant apps for the Android TV thing you have absolutely nothing has to be the torch, it makes the white screen … Wherever I am impressed is gaming on the big screen, possibly with a controller but also by remote control.

Gaming

The game possibilities are therefore one of the advertised features of this TV, where there is also a game controller connected to so that the experience can come closer to a console. Do not have a controller, no problem, even with the remote control it is possible to play games.

As indicated earlier, not all apps suitable for large screens and this also applies to games, developers must explicitly indicate . However, it is an interesting experience. As a non-gamer was still a small world for me, especially since games I can normally be played on a big screen on my smartphone or tablet play. The nice thing is then even that can be already purchased games played directly on TV provided logged into the same Google Account. The number of games is relatively large, the Play Store is of course an extensive collection available that contains more titles daily and regrettably also be relatively inexpensive. Gaming on a TV with Android, I see it down.

With the future support for OnLive, the gaming in the cloud on this Android TVs even more interesting are the possibilities as practically endless.

Remote

The remote control for this TV can be described with one word: amazing. He is comfortable in the hand, but has the advantage that there is a full QWERTY keyboard is present on the back. This, in combination with the arrow keys next to it is actually sufficient to operate all smart features. But often it is easy to have for example, a mouse, and this is also built into the remote control. Once you point the front of the TV and then briefly moves, a cursor appears on the screen and all the apps and functions can be controlled with a mouse pointer if there is support. For the less smart functions, there is also a ‘regular’ remote available at the front, as you would expect with any TV. This remote has surprised me very positively.

If your well-thought-out remote control is not at hand, then the TV may also operate via an app on your smartphone.

Specs

Of course we also measure just the geek in us happy with some specs of 55PUS8809. Set The screen has a 4K resolution and a size of 55 inches (139cm) with a brightness of 450 cd / m². Furthermore, we see 1000 Hz PMR Ultra, three-sided Ambilight and hexacore processor that should things powering. At its sound is 30 watts RMS available (2×15). There are also 4 HDMI, 1 component, 1 scart and 3 USB ports available. Will connect to the Internet via a WiFi N and there is support for two CI + modules.

Because of the specifications provides the TV smooth performance when the unit has been started there are few delays noticeable, with a good response to the operation.

Conclusion

My first experience with the Philips 55PUS8809 on Android, and actually are actually the first TV with this operating system from Google was certainly interesting. The added value of Android lies in the large number of apps, but gaming is an interesting activity for televisions that out-of-the-box can be started. The Philips TV itself has a very good image quality, though this will, as with other 4K TVs, yet not supported long anywhere. Are you looking for a new TV and your budget is sufficient, then this is definitely an option, but keep in mind that the update will go to 5.0 for an external media player.

There is one drawback I have the entire test period, my Chromecast not used …

Pros

→ Gorgeous image

→ Operation via cursor and keyboard, very convenient

→ Gaming, possibly with controller

Cons

→ 2,7GB storage on low side for big games

→ Not for every budget

→ Android 5.0 via external ultra HD media player

Pricing and Availability

The Philips 55PUS8809 has a suggested retail price of € 2699 and currently runs a cashback- action from € 500 to this model with Philips.

The new Smart Lock feature should make it easier to unlock phones via Bluetooth pairing, Near Field Communication (NFC) or just a “smile”. Additionally, it is possible to give certain messages on the locked screen, so it is not always necessary to unlock the phone, making the device remains protected.

The second important measure is the encryption standard data . Once users enter the first time their phone on the default fully encrypted. For this Google uses an encryption key that stays on the device. “This is the safest way to encrypt your phone,” said the Android development team.

Another measure that has to provide extra protection is the presence of SELinux. The existing security model of Android is further strengthened. This should make it easier to carry out audits and monitoring. The measure is primarily aimed at organizations that have strict security rules, including governments. Android 5.0 should appear in November.

Google: “Android and Chrome will temporarily not merge” – All About Phones

Android and Chrome to grow, although more and more to each other, but Google has no plans to merge the two systems into one OS. Google reported that officials across CNET.

In the interview with the let Google employees who know that the two teams developing Android and Chrome, growing together. Android is for mobile devices, Chrome for PCs. Not quickly pooled into one operating system despite the further cooperation come. “There are no plans to change the way these products work to change.”

Android and Chrome both belong to senior vice president Sundar Pichai of Google. The systems are important products of Google. The largest source of income for the search giant are ads which $ 50 billion is harvested annually. But according to CEO Larry Page Android is the “future” of the company.

That’s a little surprising statement, because Android is now the most widely used mobile operating system. It stands at more than eighty percent of the smartphones. Chrome OS is much less popular in the PC world. It is only present at two percent of the computers. In order to assist, Chrome forward widely thought that it would merge with Android OS, especially when both operating systems Pichai took under his wing. But there would therefore be no question of

Moto 360 – Still not the ideal Android Wear Watch – Total Computer

The Moto 360, available for 250 euros, had by far the best Android Wear watch of the year, but the device is brought down by his huge poor battery life, poor performance and extremely annoying hitches. If you want a really good Android Wear watch, you will have to wait a little

Android Wear watches

.

Like other Android-Wear watches gets the Moto 360 notifications in an Android phone and calls for further action. You can respond to SMS messages via voice, playing music on your phone settle, get simple directions, and more. The platform also supports some basic searches by voice, such as asking for the weather forecast and information from Google Now. The system has some flaws, but it’s a handy way to keep your digital life in the eye without having to constantly fish in your pocket

At first glance, the Moto 360 would be the best looking smart watch could be on the market. Between the round design, metal case, leather strap, and crown-like button on the side, the Moto 360 looks best on a real watch. And you could get away with the right wrist size and business attire with it.

But to my thin wrist is the Moto 360 just too much. The housing is approximately 1.3 mm thicker than that of Samsung’s Gear Live – the thinnest of all Android Wear watches which are currently available – and the way in which the thin strap runs along the bottom of the watch emphasizes the large-scale housing only. Of course tastes differ, but the lack of a smaller, thinner version ensures that the Moto 360 is not a success for many potential users.

Pleasant wristband

But he is comfortable. Motorola boasts the fact that the leather strap adds a touch of class, but the real advantage is how the band feels comfortable on your wrist. You do not have that sticky, sweaty feeling you get with Samsung’s plastic straps or rubber band from LG. (Motorola also sells a metal wristband for $ 80, but I have not tried it.)

Even if you are satisfied with the look and build quality of the Moto 360, is the battery life so that it can be. a dealbreaker bad He is just a day of 16 hours if you have the ‘ambient’ off screen setting, so the screen is completely disabled until you are completely aware toedraait wrist to your eyes. Unfortunately, the Moto 360 difficulty detecting the movement, so you often have to press the screen or on the crown button to turn the screen back on. That makes the watch basically useless, because you can no longer a glance at the screen to see what you missed

Enabling the ambient display setting -. That the screen dims but not completely off – ensures even bigger problems. The ambient mode of the Moto 360 is much more difficult than that on the Gear Live Samsung and LG G Watch, especially from a different angle, and it consumes energy. Read In my tests the watch had after 12 hours of never more than 15 percent battery life on the ambient mode enabled. And the screen was after long periods of inactivity may still disabled.

It may be that the poor battery life due to the four year old Texas Instruments processor Moto 360, but this ancient chip also seems to overall performance to cause problems. Android Wear runs fairly smoothly on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processors of other watches, but the Moto 360 often stutters and dropped frames regularly lost.

Disconnected

I came also another technical problem against which maddening: At various times the Moto 360 hit the connection to my smartphone (Moto X) almost lost. I still got notifications inside, but my attempts to respond to it with my watch – for example by removing an email or give a voice command – made an error. The problem was solved to turn off only the Bluetooth on my phone and turn on again.

This is all so frustrating because the Moto 360 does so many things so well. If the watch could well once reach the end of the day! Because the supplied wireless power dock is very convenient and elegant to overnight it to charge your smart watch. You just need to place the watch on the stand and the screen instantly turns into a dimly lit clock on your nightstand. In the morning you just have to pack the watch to the band and back to doing your wrist.

Eenvoudig to read

Other Android Wear watches are very difficult to read in direct sunlight, but the backlit LCD screen of the Moto 360 bright enough to see well, and the device uses an ambient light sensor to dim the screen which in a darker environment. Unfortunately, the sensor and display circuits the reasons for the black strip on the Moto 360, so the screen is an imperfect circle.

The Moto 360 also has an optical heart rate monitor which is much more reliable and useful than those on Samsung’s Gear Live. The results of the Gear Live vary enormously unless you are at a standstill, while that of the Moto 360 always consistent. More importantly, the Moto 360 keeps your heart rate constant and sends the data to an activity monitor that stimulates activity per day for at least 30 minutes. It is a much more practical use of the technology than Samsung’s high-flown heart rate.

Conclusion

So what to do now as Android fan? If you want to see where Android’s smart watch platform currently revolves entirely, anyway I recommend the Samsung Gear Live on. It is one less than the Moto 360, stylish device but you can just use it all day long and you do not get to technical hitches. He is also a lot cheaper. What Motorola, I hope that the company has the perseverance to try again. Except maybe the LG G Watch R there is nothing in the prospect of Android Wear that as the Moto 360 a few months ago.

looks promising
