Google has released another update to the Google Photos app for Android, bringing with it several new features aimed at giving you more editing functionality on your Android phone or tablet.  I’m personally a big fan of Google Photos and since the major update to it announced at I/O in June, it has become my first source for storing and editing photos.  If you haven’t given it a try I would suggest you do so.  I don’t think you will be disappointed.  This latest update, build 1.2.1.99143001 for those keeping score at home, allows you to edit your albums and photo descriptions all from your mobile device instead of having to go to the web to do it.

Oh glorious bird day!  It has taken several years and many sub-genre of games later, but today we finally have the sequel to Angry Birds.  Angry Birds 2 is available now in the Google Play store and the team at Rovio state it is the biggest mobile game prizes ever.  The opening cut scene of the game is brilliant and all the birds you are familiar with in the original game are back with each having their own special purpose or power.  There is however an updated theme song in Angry Birds 2 and the overall game imagery is far superior to the original game.  If you are expecting to see the same game, think again.  This new Angry Birds is not the same as the original.

Google continues to quietly improve Google Now and the latest change is one that users of 3rd party messaging services will appreciate.  Google has now added voice support for 3rd party messaging applications like WhatsApp and Viber, meaning you can send a message with these services without actually ever touching your Android phone or tablet. You have been able to do this with Hangouts for a while with Google Now but adding support for 3rd party solutions really shows how mature this feature has become in Android.

Earlier today Motorola made several new device announcements, chief among them is the new Moto G 2015 model.  The mid-range phone has reasonable specs for a phone that starts at only $179 and it can be completely customized using the Motorola Moto Maker service on their website.  The Moto G 2015 is the latest update in a successful series of devices for Motorola and this new Moto G comes with some nice updates.
