coolness, what have u done

 

Icon Set is Minimal MIUI (it's been taken down from the Play Store for some reason). The toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, Music etc. is the Power Toggles widget. The widget on the 1st page is Google Currents, on the 2nd page is Down Clock and on the 3rd page is Google Now. Launcher is Nova with a grid size in 11x8. Also, I got the wallpaper from the Wallbase app.

Try putting a favorite football team in , it will show you its upcoming games and results of their old ones.

 

There is an events card which tells you any concerts etc. of your favorite artists .

 

You can set up jogging/cycling routes so that it tells you how far did you go .

 

In case you are visiting abroad you can set a currency calculator , a time at home clock and a language translator .

 

There is a cool flight and movie ticket feature which doesn't work properly in India :(

Syncs with your Google search. So say you looked for a cafe on GMaps, Now will update to show the location of the cafe and the estimated time it will take for you to reach there under current traffic conditions.

Say you search for a flight, Now will update to show the latest flight info (for that particular flight) including time of D/A etc.

Try this - http://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2839499?hl=en&p=gqsb_cardlist&version=210020410&rd=1

 

 

Also , the main attraction for me is the brilliant voice search , its sooooo responsive and quick , Siri feels like an old haggard after this .

The best feature for me is the card that pops up for the time needed to travel to office and back home. It's integrated to your home and office settings in Google maps. Also if you search some place else on the maps it will pop up with the calculation. The time varies according to the traffic at least in Bangalore.

Google Now will become intelligent over time. It takes in information from your Google Search/Maps/Mail/Youtube and displays relevant and content specifically tailored to you. Give it some time and you'll see the results.

 

One really useful feature is map search. If you're logged into your google account and do a google map search on your notebook/desktop, Google Now will soon start showing navigation to that searched location on your mobile.

 

I also find it really useful whenever I'm traveling and have booked flights that've sent a confirmation to my gmail. A day before the flight I start seeing the weather card of my flight destination. On the day of the flight it shows me the flight card for my flight with accurate gate information and flight status. It even automatically sends a push notification based on traffic to tell me to start driving to the airport to be there 2 hours before departure time for international flights.

 

It's awesome and it keeps getting awesomer over time!
