Turns out that everything else got updated and the device in question was basically a Samsung Galaxy S4 with stock Android. This has therefore started new rumours, one of which being that we may be seeing a refresh of the Google Nexus 7 tablet and that it may come with Android 4.3.

These include Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, CNN and Evernote covering a range of social media, news and note taking applications. Granted, what you can do with each app is still rather limited but this should grow as the developers mature the apps even further.

While many were expecting the announcement of a new Nexus device (most likely for LG to do a Google Nexus 5 smartphone) Google are instead offering the Samsung Galaxy S4 minus the Samsung TouchWiz interface.

Google's wearable computer Google Glass continues to make new discoveries at the hands of its intrepid explorers, but while they are trying out the Google Glass Explorer Edition, all of the apps currently being used are from Google itself. That has now changed as The New York Times has announced it's app for Google Glass in which they supply news alerts and updates. Article summaries can even be read aloud or in this case just for the Google Glass owner's ears only.

All those pre-order Google Glass users who bought the Google Glass Explorer Edition for $1500 are starting to talk about their experiences with the wearable computer. Brandon Allgood, CTO of Numerate said that it was very lightweight and changed many of his habits. He no longer needs a clock or watch as just tilting his head back displays the time. According to him, his favourite feature remains Google Now as with it he is able to keep track of sports all night. His complaints for the device include the fact that low light shots aren't very good and while you can say "ok glass, take a picture" to take a shot it does not in fact allow you to frame a picture beforehand. The bone-conduction system on the other hand is great as he can now hear and feel sounds through his bones.
