What is Google I_O New OS 'Brillo' & HTC H7 Tablet - Android Weekly

The Google G4C Stylus and Other Android Devices Make Waves in the Tech Industry

The Google G4C Stylus is a smaller version of the G4, but not a mini. It features a 5-inch 720p display, an unspecified quad-core system on a chip, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, and microSD card support. The device also comes equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. LTE data and a 2,540mAh hour battery complete the list of specifications.

In related news, Google has set its sights on the Internet of Things (IoT) in a big way. The company has already made moves into this space before with the failed Android Home project and more recently with several key acquisitions, including Nest. Now, according to a new report from The Information, Google is getting ready to release a new platform that will take things to a whole other level. Dubbed Brillo, the new platform is said to debut at google.io 2015 and is reportedly designed to work with devices offering as little as 32 or 64 megabytes of RAM.

Brillo's development falls under the Android Group, which suggests that it may be based on Android, although this has not been confirmed. The information also indicates that Brillo is not yet a full independent operating system. Instead, it appears to be part of what Android M is all about.

In other news from the world of tech, rumors have begun to surface about an affordable tablet from HTC. Leaked information suggests that the company is working on a 7-inch tablet code-named H7, which may feature a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and space for not one but two SIM cards. While these specifications are not confirmed, they do suggest that the device is designed to be budget-friendly.

HTC's last attempt at an affordable tablet was the high-end Nexus 9, which launched last year. The company may be looking to fill this void with the H7 tablet, although it remains to be seen whether this device will succeed where its predecessor failed.

In a nod to entrepreneurship, Edward Army recently asked readers to share their own websites or businesses and would feature them on his show. Jace from Domain Advertiser responded by offering 15% off domain name and web hosting services when using the coupon code "Android" at domain.com.

The intro from yesterday's show was not without controversy, however. Edward Army made a joke about men being more knowledgeable about technology than women, which upset at least two viewers. The host subsequently apologized for any offense caused and confessed to having more shoes than his wife, who loves to point out the fact that he is always geeking out on phones or technology while she is happy with her footwear.

Despite any mistakes made, Edward Army remains committed to making sure that each episode of his show is unique and entertaining. He aims to balance humor and information without overwhelming viewers, and welcomes feedback from all parties involved. The host is also grateful for the support of his brothers and Android, who serve as a valuable source for information about all things Android.

In conclusion, Google's G4C Stylus and other Android devices are making waves in the tech industry. Meanwhile, Brillo represents an exciting new development in the Internet of Things space. HTC's H7 tablet is also generating buzz among tech enthusiasts. As always, Edward Army's show promises to be a fun and informative experience, with no two episodes ever quite alike.
