As I’m using it more on our Nexus 7, I’m understanding and loving the feature better. Only thing is that I can only use it where there’s wifi at this point as it only works with JellyBean which currently is only available on my N7 which only works with wifi. Despite that restriction, I find it a cool feature!
So I believe we have 10 “cards” at this time, with more to come, that help you through your day.
The cards available are:
Traffic
Public Transit
Next appointment
Flights
Sports
Places
Weather
Translation
Currency
Time at Home
So throughout your day, the cards update themselves and are displayed to make your life more easy and fun!
What are some other cards you’d like to see? And if you’ve used this, share your experience.
I love it on my Galaxy Nexus, but most of the card features are currently US only. It will show me my work directions and Traffic condition (i dont think the traffic is updated here) at the time i leave my home (google knows where i work and where i live :( ) and will show me my next appointment on the way to work, i didnt got any flight cards yet, and the sports team one didnt work for me (looks like google hate cricket/football), weather & places works great, currency and translation worked when i was outside my home country.
Its a platform for google to build up, its not a single app like Siri, everything will be done in google servers, so it will be updated regularly, and google is already transforming its complete ecosystem to support Google Now, you can see that on google search itself. Whatever search query has a direct result on google's search page, you will get a card on your google Now. Search for a celebrity, sport team, country, math calculation, time one a particular city etc will show you a card.
