It would appear that the Samsung Galaxy NX is all-but revealed now that press photos have leaked in full, right on top of tipped information on specifications for release later this month. At the June 20th event in London we’ll quite likely be seeing this machine up close – for now we’ll have to make
Today, Google announced it’s making some improvements to its social network, both on the web as well as on the Android and iOS apps. The company’s own Vic Gundotra has — appropriately — taken to Google+ to share that notifications have been improved all around, making them “much easier to use across mobile and desktop.” Additionally, these notifications now tout a new bell icon which lets users know when stuff is waiting to be glanced, plus there’s a tray that manages read and unread items — in other words, they’ve become a lot less obtrusive and cumbersome.
The Android application, meanwhile, has been updated with the option to delete pics from within the “Photos” view, while other under-the-hood improvements were added to the menu in order to make it “more consistent with other Google apps.” The rejuvenated notification system is expected to be rolling out over the next few days, however the Android app is available now at the Google Play link below.

If you were thinking that the Galaxy Camera NX was going to kick out the original Samsung Galaxy Camera at the London event later this month, you might have to think again. What we’re seeing here is a leaked photo and a bit of info suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy Camera will not be replaced
The Attorney General of New York and District Attorney of San Francisco are teaming up with police and government groups to cut down on smartphone-related muggings. George Gascón (SF) and Eric Schneiderman (NY) will announce “Save our Smartphones” at a summit in New York later today, after meeting with representatives from Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft. The scheme aims to introduce a universal “kill switch,” similar to iOS 7’s Activation Lock, that’ll render stolen phones worthless across all makes and models — preventing this sort of thing from becoming a hazard of modern living.

Gesture lovers and polyglots rejoice! Yesterday, Google updated Gesture Search for Android phones and tablets, making it compatible with even more languages. The app provides quick access to music, contacts, applications, settings and bookmarks — to name some — by letting users simply draw characters on the screen. It now recognizes over 40 languages and even handles transliteration, which comes in handy in Chinese, for example, where some native characters require more strokes than latin equivalents. Gesture Search started life as a Google Labs project back in March 2010 and received several tweaks over the years, including tablet support last fall. So go ahead: download the latest version from the Play Store and swipe away.

Google’s Cloud Print has landed on Android, bringing official support for the wireless printing system to smartphones and tablets. Previously supported only through third-party apps, with Google keeping official Cloud Print access for Chrome OS, the new app basically allows Android users to pick a file on their phone and push it to a compatible
Blogger clearly benefits from a larger screen, yet Android tablet owners haven’t had a native editing space since the Blogger app launched on their platform. Thankfully, Google is rectifying that problem today: the Android release now occupies a tablet’s full screen space while users compose and review their posts. The refresh also offers WYSIWYG editing for current entries, regardless of the screen size. However much they’ll use the improved workspace, would-be Android auteurs just have to swing by Google Play for the update.

The official Cloud Print app has finally been released on Google Play, possibly rendering the third-party apps you’ve relied on over the years superfluous. Using the standalone software will likely be a familiar affair if you’ve ever printed via mobile devices in the past. Just choose a file saved on your phone, tablet or the cloud, and it’ll make its merry way to your Cloud Print-ready device. Note that your photo or document still has to be funneled through your computer if you use a classic, wired printer. Head over to Google Play via the source link below to give Cloud Print a spin.
