New Android & A New Nexus!

Earlier this week Google introduced us to some new things! Below we will give you a quick look at Google's new toys.

Android 4.3:

We expected to see a new version of Android at Google's I/O event this year, yet they decided to show us Play Store updates instead.
Finally we get to see a new version of Android. This is not a complete upgrade of the OS, and is not the long awaited Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, but an incremental update to 4.2 named 4.3.





Below are the additions to the new version of Android:

• You can control user accounts with restricted profiles, on tablets.
• The ability to create restricted user profiles that can limit user functionallity. Great for families.
• Dial Pad auto complete
• Auto completion of contact's names directly in from the dailer.
• Bluetooth pairing with low power devices
• For devices like smart watches and fitness equipment.
• Refreshed Open GL:ES 3.0
• Major improvements for graphics in games.
