Daily Precap - Friday 10th August 2018
Hey I’m Domm, it’s Friday 10th August 2018, and this is your daily precap of the latest and greatest technology, startups, and business news.
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Note 9 smartphone and it was a huge announcement, mainly because the device is HUGE with a whopping 6.4” screen. So if you are wanting to stuff a tablet in your pocket this is the phone for you.
Its got the same camera as the Galaxy S9+ and will ship with the second generation of Samsung’s smart assistant Bixby, complete with better language processing, integration with apps like Yelp and Uber, and more.
Samsung also announced they were throwing their hat in the smart speaker ring, and will be releasing Galaxy Home, a Bixby-based smart speaker with a built-in subwoofer, six speakers, and eight-microphones.Pricing and availability yet to be announced.
Google has launched Cameos, it’s a Q&A app for iOS that lets users respond to commonly searched questions about themselves, as part of its Posts on Google platform
The app is aimed at celebrities and other public figures, who are often the subject of Google searches.
With the Cameos app, they can address fans’ questions in their own voice, instead of leaving the answers up to other websites.
The feature is an extension of the company’s “Posts on Google” platform which has been slowly rolling out over the past couple of years, giving some people and organizations the ability to post directly to Google’s search result pages.
Facebook is shutting down Friend List Feeds sometime today, according to a message posted in the Facebook app. The feature allowed users to scroll through only those posts from one of their designated friend lists — for example, family, work colleagues, neighbors, industry peers and so on.
Amazon this morning announced the launch of a toolkit for developers that will allow anyone to integrate Alexa into their cars entertainment system. The “Alexa Auto SDK” is available now on GitHub, and includes all the core Alexa functions like streaming media, smart home controls, weather reports, and support for Alexa’s tens of thousands of third-party skills.Let’s see how many car manufacturers get on board.
