Google Inc. today introduced some hardware, some software & some things in between. There are now 2 new Nexus phones, a Tablet, updates to Chromecast & added features for some of its apps.Chromecast Audio is a small device that plugs into your existing speakers, so you can stream your favorite music, radio & podcasts over WiFi, similar to Chromecast. It works with tons of apps, including Spotify, Pandora & Google Play Music.
Google also made a few updates to Google Play Music & Google Photos. Google Play Music will offer a new family plan later this year. Up to 6 users will be able to use 1 account for a shared fee of US $14.99 a month (instead of US $9.99 per person). Sharing is a theme of today’s Google Photos updates, too. Google has added Chromecast support, too.In the US, you can now add private labels to your photos to make it easier to search for specific pics of people with things, places or other people—say, that photo of Mom at the Grand Canyon, or of your daughter with her pet bunny. & soon you’ll be able to pool all your photos & videos with friends & family in 1 place, & get updates as soon as new photos are added.
