http://www.talkandroid.com – Yesterday on the Google Official Blog, Max Ibel, Director of Engineering, announced several changes to Google products. Included was the news that Google is officially pulling the plug on the Google Listen app. Launched in August 2009, Google Listen was a way to access podcasts. According to Google, there are many other apps for finding and listening to podcasts available through Google Play, so Google Listen is no longer needed. The app will continue to work for listening to podcasts for users that have it installed. However, after November 1st, podcast search will no longer function. Users (IT news)

Google Listen in Jelly Bean 42 weeks 4 days ago

Hi all,

i am using the jelly bean version of panroid android and i would like to use google listen for my podcasts. But google play doesn't offer it to me. Alternatives i don't want to buy, because i change the sd-rom very often (i like playing with it :). Is there a possibility to install google listen on jelly bean on hd2?

Thanks in advance Heiko

As expected, one of the Google products to get some attention at Google I/O is the Google TV platform. Google continues to increase consistency across product lines and Google TV is no exception. The UI has been updated to provide access to the Google Play store that is similar to that found on other Android devices. Consumers can purchase movies, music, and TV shows through the store.

Google Voice is one of those Google apps that seems to be ignored by Google, and I often wondered if it might suffer the same fate as Google Reader. With the news that Google is readying a new unified messaging service called Google Babel, I became hopeful that Google Voice would be included and might not be doomed after all.

Google Now isn't playing music 22 weeks 4 days ago

Hi guys. I use PowerAMP as my music player and I tried the command "Listen to <song name>" via Google Now and the text is heard correctly but it just does a web search. It's like it doesn't recognize the keyword.

Yes, I am running JB. My phone is the SGS3 (AT&T), not rooted. Commands like Navigation etc work, but not 'Listen to' or 'Play'.

New Google Play announced 6 weeks 1 day ago

Today, in Android´s Official Blog the new Google Play was announced.

A fresh new look for Google Play

Whether you’re in the mood to listen to Justin Timberlake’s new album, read Harlan Coben’s latest bestseller or discover a new game to play, you want the experience of finding and making your purchase to be quick and easy.

Google’s Vic Gundotra just announced that, about a year after the service went live, 400,000 people have now activated their Google+ accounts. More importantly, though, Gundotra also notes that Google+ now has more than 100 million monthly active users.

  Google’s managing director of Google Canada, Chris O’Neill, started a new blog today. An individual starting a blog may not be newsworthy, but when it is an official blog for Google, that gets our attention.

One of the great things to come from the world of apps is user reviews. Sure, users have been able to review products forever, but with apps, it has become one of the main methods by which the merits of an app are judged. And now, user reviews on Google Play are getting a little more personal with a new update from Google.
