Auto Android application on any smartphone hit the jackpot – Antyweb

Since the first presentation of Android Auto pass two years. At the debut of the application we had to wait until nine months – from June 2014 to March 2015 which was quite worrying sign. Part of the blame lay certainly on the side of car manufacturers, who have to (get) to see Googlers solutions, implement them in a complex production process. To this day, many car models introduced in the market by brand, whose logo appear on the official website of Android Auto, do not support this platform. Could Google said that it can not wait any longer?

Regardless of what drove Google in decision-making, we should rejoice that finally it happened. Perhaps he played a role in the activity of independent developers who decided to create their own applications modeled on the Android Auto – as even tested my AutoMate. Small concerns may raise still nieogłoszony make public the exact date of Google, but the company is closer to release new version of Android Auto than ever before. Testified above all the presence of a dedicated stand at the Google I / O, which can be read with an early version of Android Auto in the form of application.

at the moment it is somewhat limited, which was not so noticeable when we had to deal with it as a platform car. Text messaging, phone calls, playback control and routing in Google Maps is really all they stand currently Android app Auto. Its development will have to wait for the moment when the third party application developers as instant messaging, media players become interested in adding support their services. However, if you feel that you do not need anything more than basic functions, the Android Auto should meet your expectations.

User-friendly interface with large buttons and labels, and support for voice commands make it much easier to use the phone while driving. Still, more than indicated will connect your phone to your car audio system – whether using Bluetooth or AUX connector – to better hear the navigation commands and possibly current music / podcast / audiobook.

As I noted, Google does not split up yet the exact date on which the present in Google Play Android app Auto will gain new opportunities. The only mentioned term is “this year”, which unfortunately is not optimistic, because as we know, slides Time happen quite often.

Android officially hit the Raspberry Pi to conquer the Internet stuff – dobreprogramy

The list of operating systems running on the Raspberry Pi
 It looks quite impressive – besides various distribution

 It’s a rare thing, providing a serious commitment of Google. IN

 primarily google’owe Nexus. So you can see that someone “on

There is no secret that for our times Raspberry Pi 3
 capabilities not stun. We get komputerek processor
 Broadcom BCM2837 (four 64-bit ARM cores clocked to 1.2 GHz

 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.1 controller and I / O with four USB ports
 2.0 and one Ethernet socket 100 Mb / s. To this course
 HDMI, 40-pin GPIO bus and a few other joints.
 The official price of the plate – $ 35. Meanwhile, for 50-60 dollars
 we can buy today, Chinese smartphones with more efficient processors
 and up to 2GB of RAM, and this occurs after the display, camera,

Samsung Pay Mini in June will hit the machine with the systems … – PCLab.pl

Samsung is preparing to launch a new version promoted by yourself mobile payment system Pay. From the materials published on the network that the platform will be called Pay Mini and next month will be made available to the holders of devices with systems Android and iOS. Unfortunately, all indications are that it does not offer solutions, which can benefit users of high-end smartphones Koreans.

Samsung Pay has been officially presented during premieres phone Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. The system quickly roused considerable interest in the network, because with technology MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) using a traditional terminals that read the data from magnetic stripe cards. It’s a big advantage that allows you to use solutions in a very large number of stores. The platform is still, however, is only available in some markets, and payment for its help can make only holders of high-end devices company.

The latest reports indicate, however, that Samsung plans to introduce to its offer as a special version discussed in the text of the system, where they can also use the holders of smartphones supplied to the market by other electronics manufacturers. The platform is to be called Pay Mini and the Prime Minister should take place as early as next month. Interestingly, it will be available both on Android devices as well as phones with iOS.

Unfortunately, disappointed all those who hoped that the system will allow the use of MST technology, or NFC modules. The solution is no focus on purchases made over the Internet. First of all, it will allow so fast ordering products and services via the network, and in addition will will keep data on our payment cards and transaction history. The whole has to be protected while using a 6-digit code or biometric data user.

The exact date of the debut Pay System Mini is not yet known. Currently only known that the use of the platform will be required to have a smartphone with Android or iOS Marshmallow 8. In preparation is reportedly also a version for personal computers, but it can appear on the market, even at the end of this year.

The Indians want the Android N borrowed its name from … Neyyappam – Tabletowo.pl

Each new release of Android borrows its name from some sweets. This question always causes a lot of interest, but the Indians this time decided to take matters into their own hands and fight to the successor of Android Marshmallow was baptized as … Android Neyyappam.

Dessert consists (very simply) with rice and sugar, and the whole is fried in deep fat. Interestingly, one of the arguments for choosing this dish as the name of the next release of Android is that it comes from the Indian state of Kerala, which in turn is adjacent to Tamilnadu. And the latter is derived the current CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai.

CEO even last year, during the session of Q & A at the University of New Delhi, with great enthusiasm accepted the idea of ​​Android N bear the name of some Indian dessert. He even suggested that the survey will be carried out so that everyone willing can submit your proposal.

And so it proved, as on Android, you can enter your idea (link to source). The Indians, however, went a step further and created a special website to promote Neyyappam selecting a name for Android N. encourage it to use hasztagu #AndroidNeyyappam and follow the official Twitter profile.

Personally, I doubt that the action brought Indians some effect because there is one fundamental problem, actually two. First, the word Neyyappam is quite difficult to pronounce correctly for anyone who has never had contact with Hindi. Secondly, Google always uses English names, so it is unlikely that this time decided to borrow it from another language.

Still, I invite you on the occasion to send their proposals to podlinkowanej source side of Android.

Samsung did not give up Android Wear. And I think that should – Antyweb

I use two smartwatchy – Samsung Galaxy S2 (in sport) and LG G Watch R. The first Tizen drives from Samsung, the second Android Wear. I’ll write it right away – when it comes to functionality and comfort wins for me Tizen, which LG is worn far more rarely. After replacing the leather strap on the black bracelet I assume it only when more visually fit into my clothes. It is very interesting that much more will watch on the bracelet massive than the smaller appliances on the rubber strap. In this case, however, wins comfort.

I understand that Android Wear – just like a normal Android – a platform designed for a variety of watches, so that none of the companies is not able to perfectly adapt it to its proposal. I unfortunately feel – tested several smartwatchy on Android Wear, and basically for any would not work ideally. He can cut the Moto 360 (first and second generation), as well as on the G Watch R and Huawei Watchu. This is not a budget watches, appliances holding only a standard – so like what AW would work perfectly?

the watch is able to disconnect from the phone and the only thing I can do about it, then his restart, reconnect with the application does not help – and it does not matter whether the equipment is hooked to the same network as your telephone. Information that the system has performed an illegal operation occurs approximately every two days, the equipment can trim the closing notification and menu settings show the incomplete and decipher only a few seconds. Yes, I look optimistically to the new look of the system, afraid, however, that it will be installing new software on old hardware, and further worsen the comfort of use. There are of course problems that occur routinely and prevent the use of the watch, but there are also hard not to notice them. Wine SmartWatch? I celowałbym in underdeveloped system.

In particular, that such problems do not occur with the S2. The watch is not disconnected me from the Galaxy S6 even once – I can easily connect with him when he is at home, hooked to a WiFi network. Notifications are working fine, absolutely nothing cut – Tizen S2 acts like a rocket, he does not hang it once. And if I speak of any trust wearables, most just hope this hardware. And sometimes you have to, especially when the phone is somewhere in the other room and just watch it informs about important SMS, messages with Messenger or phone. The equipment works well also as an alarm clock or a stand-alone or an extra screen via which I can set off the alarm in the phone. Well, not poured notifications like crazy, which watches with Android Wear is sometimes annoying.

Two completely different systems, which comparison is a little unfair. Samsung has its own equipment, it works a bit like Apple offering both device and system and applications. Android Wear is to work on multiple devices and allow external software. But I was interested in action and in this topic Tizen almost crushes system Google. If only be able to move the system from Samsung to the watch looks like a G Watch R, the equipment would be ideal. The device LG visually I like the most (especially black metal band), but Tizen is a great system.

That’s why Samsung should focus completely on your own system and forget about Android Wear. He had with this system one adventure – the Galaxy Gear smartwatchu of 2014. Once was enough, it makes no sense to go back.

Samsung will give up the platform Android Wear? I do not think … – PC World

 
        
 
 
  
                

Is Gear Live is the first and last SmartWatch Samsung uses platform Android Wear? Korean manufacturer claims that it does not intend to resign from the Google platform for wearables.

 
 
 

->
 

Service Fast Company reported that Samsung intends to resign from the intended primarily for “smart” watches platform Android Wear. Korean manufacturer would focus exclusively on its platform – Tizen OS – which is also used in devices such as Smart TV, or “smart” refrigerator. The reason for such a decision would be, among others, superiority platform Tizen over the Wear in terms of energy management (working time is an extremely important parameter for smartwatchy).

Samsung denies

In response to these reports Samsung issued a statement in which he writes that it announced the resignation of Android Wear and did not change any obligations in relation to the currently used platforms.

Android Wear in Samsung

it should be recalled here that the Korean manufacturer has introduced only one device using the Android Wear: SmartWatch Gear Live. This took place two years ago, and that the gadget is no longer manufactured. All subsequent Smartwatch Samsung – models of Galaxy Gear, Gear 2 Gear S and Gear S2 – use this system with Tizen.

Despite the declaration Samsung can not help noticing that in his case the platform Android Wear is now “dead” . But maybe that will change, because the last I / O conference, Google announced Android Wear 2.0, which is the biggest update to the operating system for wearables (ie. The device ubieralne) in 2014, which will bring together, among others, following the changes:

– the placing on the dial widgets from any application

– the action based on independent applications (SmartWatch will not need pairing with a smartphone)

– add handwriting recognition drawn finger on the watch face

they make especially the second one, that the platform Android Wear will become much more attractive to users. Is Samsung is able to ensure that the Tizen OS not only will not come off from it, but it will be better? Hmm, it’s hard to be achieved …

Android TV is gaining momentum – appetizer of Xiaomi, support … – Antyweb

Let’s start with the launch of the hardware, which can make the Android TV will settle soon and more viewers. The group of TV manufacturers starters joined the Chinese Xiaomi reflecting an increasing toll on the market of mobile devices, especially smartphones. Mi Box 4K, because that is the name of a new set top box, is a small black box with dimensions of 10 x 10 x 2 centimeters. There is a device drawing attention to himself, as Nvidia product, but probably many people will be responding. In the package you get remote control with built-in microphone cooperating with an attachment using Bluetooth, and powered by two AAA batteries – This is another difference to the Shield TV because both controllers Nvidia (pilot and pad) have built-in batteries and micro USB ports. It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi also prepared their own falls into games.

This is what the Xiaomi Mi Box 4K is delight, you can already read the name of the device. Chinese manufacturer will not be the first company to offer such features as introduced to the market almost exactly a year ago Shield TV also offers ultra high resolution 4K. Besides, it is planned to support for HDR video and playback at 60 frames per second and the presence of the port HDMI 2.0a. For efficiency Mi Box 4K will correspond to 4-core Cortex-A53 processor 2.0GHz to a pair of graphics chip Mali 450 750MHz. The whole will be supported by 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, and the user will have a (nearly) 8GB built-in memory. The specification is not currently mention of the slot for a microSD card, but no problem we can use the extra USB storage, such as USB flash drive or hard disk.

Xiaomi is famous for preparing good equipment at a low price, so it should be otherwise, and in the case of a snap Mi Box 4K. Sorry, we do not know yet when the starter goes to the markets, but we can be sure that at last it will be marketed outside China – previous versions of the set top box Xiaomi were not available anywhere else.

The second novelty is the emergence of Spotify application for Android TV – long awaited by me. It is hard to believe that so far it was not available, especially considering the rapid response team at Spotify appearance Chromecast audio, for which the support was quite quickly added to the application. Spotify for Android TV works exactly as you would expect it – it is possible independent of other devices to play music and control it, and the second of the options available is to use the services Cast and control everything from your smartphone, tablet or other gadgets. If you have a solid set of audio video, which is more than the built-in TV speakers is a way of listening to Spotify you can appeal to.

And what news will appear in the same platform Android TV at Google I / O? Probably the most important feature is picture-in-picture, which allows viewing of two materials simultaneously. Of course, one of them will be displayed in a smaller window in one corner of the screen. My expectations for the Android TV, however, are slightly larger, and besides expanding portfolio Google Play I wish, for example, the introduction of use webcams and USB applications of Hangouts or Skype. Apparently simple, convenient and engaging way to conduct video calls is not, however, currently on the list of upcoming features.

Already on the Polish market are TVs Sony and Phillips operating system based on Google, so it is worth noting, that Android TV in the near future will go on TV the following companies: Beko, Grundig and Vestel – products of these three manufacturers will be sold in Europe.

Android N of the auto-update feature – Onet.pl

Android has for years been criticized for excessive fragmentation of the market, to which it contributes, in part, Google itself, and partly also the manufacturers of mobile devices. The result is that while there are many different versions of the system, and users of smartphones have to wait months for an update for equipment owned by them.

Android N, the latest version of the mobile operating system, is designed in such a way as to reduce market fragmentation mentioned. Google just announced that the new version will be equipped with auto-update system, which alone will fetch in the background all the available patches, both official as well as from operators. With this solution, each time you start your smartphone, all updates will be ready to use.

This is a much convenient than previously used, and at the same time should be much better to provide users with any new system updates.

Android is huge – more than 600 models in the last year – Tabletowo.pl

Have you ever wondered how many Android smartphones in the world? How many types of phones with a green robot manufactured and delivered to customers? Well now we have the answer.

Once kolekcjonowało a card with cars or favorite players. Google apparently grew out of this passion, because it collects information on almost all devices that appeared on the market with its system. If you missed the recent conference I / O, you probably do not know – Google boasted that the market in the last year, there are more than 600 models of smartphones with Android.

not surprisingly, at the end of Android is currently the most popular mobile system in the world. in addition, growing all the time, which can not be said for iOS or Windows Phone / Windows 10 Mobile. the number of models each year is growing, and soon the project Ara has come into force, which may also somewhat confuse the market.

Google conference I / O boasted a huge number of downloads from the Play Store. Last year users of the official distribution channel for Android app downloaded and installed games, applications and other tools more than 65 billion times.

also increasing number of manufacturers interested in wearable technology. According to Google in the last year, 12 companies were engaged in the production smartwatchy with Android Wear. The market did not grow as vigorously as smartphones.

Motorola “blurted a” system Android O – CHIP

On the one hand, you do not need to be a great prophet to watch the English alphabet, and predicted that the Android version will be followed by N: O, P, R, S … and so on. Varieties marked with “S” rather, we should not expect, like “Ó” and “Ö”, “O”, “o” or “O”. But the other side of the coin is that we are at this point even before the official market entry Android N and we do not know about him a lot of things – including even that we wear will eventually name (supposedly the most popular is the proposal of a “Nutella”). Is it really the right time for this, to talk about Android O?

Well, according to Motorola as much as possible. I can understand this company, because it’s something that is taking place now, and not in the future – promoting model Lenovo Moto G4 Plus. Because in the past, Motorola has been known that approached very selectively to the issue of updating Android phones that definitely it deserved, this time it was decided in advance to ensure that such updates will take place, not only when it comes to Android N, but Android also … A:

This is a bold statement! Let us remember that Lenovo Moto Moto Lenovo G4 and G4 Plus is a smartphone with a good, but not wgniatającą the chair hardware specifications, and at this point it’s probably even Google engineers do not know the end, what will be the hardware requirements for Android O. It may turn out that – if only because of the VR – do not be so easy to meet, if only because of the amount of RAM, screen resolution and processor performance. So keep your word!

What really earn esportowcy and the legends circulating about their earnings have in them even a grain of truth?

I recall the words of parents “teach the child, because as you will be using this machine just sit there, it’s not going to work. ” And I think that if such a man put then that preached not only mine, but other parents, universal time belief that the pleasure that is playing can lead only to trouble, we would be at a different stage of development in this field .

but it happened otherwise. Everyone slowly mature to the fact that the profession of “player” really works and it gives you the best opportunity to live at a high level. So how esportowcy earn? One by one!

tournaments

All kinds of competitions and tournaments are very obvious form of monetization. Players, like football teams, they have many professional tournaments organized by various league such as the ESEA Pro League CEVO the latest league FACEIT – ECS. Qualifiers are played most often for many weeks to the end of the best teams could face competition offline and fight for the impressive sum.

The record date prize pool boasts The International 5 – tournament dote 2 played on the beginning of August 2015. The total prize pool was up to 18 million USD., And for the first place, which coincided with the team Evil Geniuses, the players received a total of more than $ 6 million.! Why are these money? Is it any wonder that the majority come from the same fans … ?! The organization Valve only “has made” to the entire pool (its contribution accounted for about 10 per cent. Of the amount).

The overwhelming majority of the total came from funds obtained from the sale of virtual compendium of the tournament (in two versions – one for 9, 99 dol., the second for 26.99 dollars.), whose 25 percent. value just getting to the prize pool. Buying Compendium gave its owner advantages. It was in fact something of an interactive program that allowed you to follow live proceedings of meetings of the tournament, bet on the results of played matches or become an owner of a digital card with the image of esportowego idol.

In addition, the Compendium offered owners a wide variety of bonuses depending on the how much total money they paid the account of the tournament. As you can see well thought-out strategy of emptying your pockets sympathizers Doty 2 exceeded all expectations. See how it goes this year.

The following graphic shows the breakdown of the prize winners have received specific locations:

Other from esports titles also break records pool their rewards. as for CS: GO, Valve had communicated earlier this year that want to increase (four times!) prize pools in tournaments Major, which is now $ 1 million. it is worth noting also that the winner of the first place scoops exactly half that amount.

Tournaments are not only fighting with pre-provided award. it is also, as in the case just CS GO, profits from the sale of stickers. During the tournament type Major fans can buy through the platform Steam various stickers with autographs of their favorite players or entire teams.

During the ESL One Katowice 2015 sale of so-called. “stickerów” zasilił pockets players taking part in it by an additional 1.5 million dollars.! Given that this amount had to be split into sixteen teams present there, it gives us a 93.75 thousand. dol. per team. Of course, this division is purely theoretical – the more popular teams, whose labels often bought, got a major part of this amount. As we can see, however, must not be underestimated additional profits that result from participation in tournaments Major.

eSports contracts, sponsors, transfers

Although some tight shudder to compare e-sport to sport traditional sometimes the processes occurring in both these areas are absolutely identical. And just like in football, where players sign contracts or are transferred to other teams, so it is with esportowcami.

When it comes to contracts between players and their organizations, they are quite restrictive and that is why the still little is known about specific numbers, which are offered to players for representing the organization. Even after the expiry of the players are reluctant to talk about paid to them during the cooperation of salary or bonuses related to achieving satisfactory results.

In November 2014 Golden Five, which is representing the Russian Poles formation Virtus.pro signed with her contract for another two years. It was said then that it is also the longest and most expensive deal in the history of eSports CS: GO, he had in fact sing on the record, of course, never an undisclosed sum. Incidentally – the contract will expire soon, I am very curious how to further the fate of the Poles. Are the Russians will still want to invest in them their money, taking into account such poor recent form of the Poles?

With contracts closely linked is also about sponsors. Each organization has its – due to the nature of the industry are mostly companies dealing with equipment for the players (eg. For some time has become an official sponsor of VirtusPro company SteelSeries). Sponsors offer their dependents equipment, as well as financially support organizations that care for them. In return, the players stick to their trademarks in all possible ways.

The interesting thing for me personally for a long time was the fact that the players of CS: GO will always play the two pairs of headphones – smaller ear pchełkach and large, surrounding the whole ear headphones . Once I was convinced that larger headphones imposed on flea were intended only further suppress the environment so that the cries of the audience in no way affect the concentration of the competitor. Recently, in an interview I read, however, that larger headphones are exclusively in order to It showed the logo of the sponsor.

If we talk about the similarities to football players and contracts, will be the place for spectacular transfers. In the middle of 2015 years a new team of CS: GO acting under the banner of Team Kinguin wanted to in its composition was Norwegian player – Håvard “rain” Nygaard, who then represented the team LGB eSports and was associated with that contract. At this point TeamKinguin was forced to use the financial argument – the player was bought for $ 40 thousand. dol. And what wages the Rain? That we can only guess. I suspect that to go to another team offered him a correspondingly higher salary than the payment, which offered the previous organization.

Grants for streamach

Streaming is another form of income for professional players, who, by virtue his vast recognition can on it really well earn some extra money. The amounts that you achieve the greatest may be impressive, but it also depends on many factors. How does a professional player earns therefore streamowaniu?

Starting from the subscription channel (in Poland 1 subscription is approx. 10 zł to pocket streamer), through advertising on the displays (minimum gain) after what often brings the greatest benefits – grants audience. And here for a moment to pause. the payments while streams that made existing great impression on him, can be a lot of talk.

Some time amateurs Twitch witnessed huge subsidies for the most popular players Blizzard , made by someone nicknamed Amhai. Streamerzy like Sodapoppin or Azael started to receive from him a deposit of around 5 thousand. or 10 thousand. dollars. Total deposits streamers during the year amounted to a total of approx. 100 thousand. dollars. and the identity of the generous fan mail the game never not known.

Similar situations also occur esportowcom. One of the players Virtuspro – Jaroslaw Feed Jarząbkowski apparently zaskarbiając a sympathy rich viewer. From him he received several payments worth about 45 thousand. dol., as per buck gives less than 175 thousand. zł.

There is, however, surprising – Jarek Pasha, the second esportowiec (the first when it comes to CS: GO), who in their social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Twitch) brings together the largest number of fans. The following graphic shows what community build around themselves professional athletes League of Legends.

Other players CS: GO, such as Jaryd “summit” Lazar, the current stand-in shortness, cheating that during a prolonged Stream of subsidy alone is able to earn about 3-4 thousand. dol. The person who makes payments to his idol, maybe something to it add to the message that was shown to you on the screen.

Viewers Summit, therefore, that the general chat in which they are gathered is heavily besieged and his contact with the teacher Stream is limited, ask him questions or communicate messages just by depositing grants. After some time alone Summit seeing in this an attractive opportunity to earn raised the minimum threshold of grants, thus increasing your income. Clever, huh?

activities Self

Apart from all these sources of income, which are closely linked to career eSports players also looking for alternative, although still close of sector molds increase their income . as recently as a few weeks ago a player Swedish fnatic – Jesper “JW” Wecksell opened his own shop with the equipment and accessories for the players, but also clothes sygnowanymi logo organization he represents. During the opening was also attended by his teammates, who as seen actively supported JW promote new business.

it was not the idea of ​​the original, since much earlier came up to him our compatriots. Official shop VirtsuPro, or brand GOLDENFIVE, operates in the market for a good few months. shop in its offer does not have too much more than the one opened by JW. You can purchase the T-shirts, sweatshirts, ties and other gadgets signed logo VP or related to the game itself.

Due to the fact that the team enjoys in Poland enormous sympathy shop does not suffer more for lack of interest. This year, the booth also appeared on the Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice, and an additional attraction was the opportunity to meet players there VirtusPro, who promoted their products.

The activity which deviates slightly from the eSports can also boast teammate the aforementioned JW – Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer. Olof currently rests, not appearing with his team as it heals wrist injury that prevents him from playing at the highest level.

During a break in training Olofmeister surprised his fans unexpected information – due to its huge popularity, he was offered to take part in advertising, which is, of course, he agreed. It is not known what salary offered fnatic player to convince him to this idea. The end result can be seen here:

As you can see, the professional playing can really bring a lot of money, but the largest sums are fighting only those best. This is connected not only with larger prizes that offer various tournaments, but also the increasing popularity of the players, who are creating and building laboriously your community , gain thanks to the possibility of achieving additional benefits. Star eSports grow to the rank of heroes like football stars, to be sure these amounts are completely at the earnings achieved by the players, but it is easy to notice a certain analogy between them.

Full Android, not Android Auto, as a system for cars … – dobreprogramy

Android will be everywhere, so at least you can tell by observing the actions of Google. This mobile system dominated smartphones, pretty good feel for smartzegarkach, and there are plans to conquer the automotive market. It is not about Android Auto, and a full operating system, which will manage the computer built into the car.
                         
                         
 

r e k l m and a

The new cars are already equipped with the Android Auto. As a result, we gain the ability to pretty good communication between the systems of the car, a smartphone with Android. We get the opportunity to control some functions and applications on the smartphone from the computer in the car. This does not mean, however, that our car is running Android in the middle of running a different operating system.

A week ago we wrote that this will be the main Linux operating system in modern cars. On the use of Linux they have already decided to vendors such as Toyota, Nissan and Jaguar, and soon he has to hit the cars Ford, Mazda, Subaru and Mitsubishi. It is possible that this is not software developed in the project Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) dominate the computers in cars. Competition, it is possible that the stronger will be Android, but the total is also Linux.

Google demonstrated Android running on a large display, which was the main media center in the car. Before we get to the operating system, it is worth noting that this car was a Maserati Quattroporte. Beautiful work of engineering, totally different from the Google cars, eye-catching appearance, above all, not a large screen in the middle of the dashboard.

Android available to get efficient Snapdragon 820. Impressive display resolution – 4K. The interface resembles that of Android Auto, is adapted to operate while driving the car. The elements are large and legible text is limited to a minimum. Maserati Quattroporte did not have another operating system, the whole watch only Android.

The suitably modified Android provide access to Google services, of course, the most important car service maps. There were well-known application of the mobile system, such as even Spotify. At the bottom of the screen virtual buttons are placed to manage the car, here you control the air conditioning, for example.

Please note that we have dealing with the concept. Google did not provide any specific release date. The whole thing is still in the testing phase and needs to be developed. Even if the prime minister will be held in the near future, we can not expect that Android will gain the automotive market. Everything depends on the attitude of car manufacturers, and they do not necessarily like to cooperate and often rely on their own, closed solutions.
