Best Tech of 2012

Google Now

Google Now is one of the best parts of the new Jelly Bean operating system that is arriving on many Android phones and is available out of the box on devices like the Nexus 4.

Google Now uses your search history and other information to alert you to traffic, events, sports scores and more before you know you need them. Google Now delivers information on cards on the Google Now screen and learns from your actions.

The Google Now service lets users search by voice, similar to Siri for the iPhone. Google Now can't open apps yet, but it is smarter than Siri in knowing what information you want at your fingertips.
