The Google quest for world domination continues with the introduction of new innovations that will enhance all aspects of your life. Whether it’s the photos you take (Google Photos), how you drive your car (Android Auto), the music you listen to (Google Music), or how you pay at the store (Android Pay); these new services are bound to simplify your life and maximize your enjoyment.

We were invited to the latest Google Preview event to get a first hand look at the new services coming your way. The main take away is that in addition to revolutionizing the way we all function, Google is on a mission to reach all corners of the world and make life better for every human being on the planet. The company gives back to underprivileged and under served communities in ways most people don’t realize.

Search, the Google app, and Now on Tap – Two brand new features of Google Search let you ask Google contextual questions (“who designed this building?”) and know how busy a business is – such as a restaurant, a gym, a shopping center and more – so you won’t waste time waiting in line.

And Google’s new Now on Tap, available this fall on Android, takes Google out of the search box: with a simple tap and hold on the home button, you can get Google’s help no matter where you are on your phone.

Google Photos – One home for all of your photos – from all devices; a creative way to showcase your history and holiday greetings, plus free, unlimited storage. Available on iOS and Android.

Android Auto – Android Auto automatically brings you useful information, and organizes it into simple cards that appear just when they’re needed. Makes any drive easier.
The App is designed to work with Android phones running 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher.

Android Auto is currently available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. It’s coming soon to new vehicles from the most automakers.

Google Play Music – Let Google Play DJ your moments with expertly curated playlists and free radio. Available on iOS and Android. Select the mood you’re in or the artist you like and find thousands of options. We find this service to provide a wider selection than competitors. It’s free and unlimited.

Android Pay – There is no longer to carry credit cards. Just take Android to the checkout counter and make quick, seamless and paperless mobile payments.
All you need to do is choose your device, add your credit or debit cards, and you’re all set. Wherever you are — at a store or in an app — you’re ready to use Android Pay.

Android Pay is accepted at over one million stores across the US, and will soon be available in thousands of Android apps.
