With its upcoming Android M operating system, Google revealed a major UI breakthrough for smartphones. It’s called Now on Tap. An extension of Google Now, you simply tap and hold the Home button inside any Android app, and a card appears on the bottom of your screen suggesting a number of apps that can help carry out the next thing Google thinks you want to do on your phone.
So say you’re texting a friend about seeing The Avengers 2. Tap home, and a card with the movie will pop up, with links to reviews on IMDb, trailers on YouTube, and a way to purchase tickets like the Fandango app. Google has predicted a small handful of places you might want to go, and offered instantaneous bridges to get there.
[paste:font size="5"]Google Now—that supermind that can already suggest a route to a nearby Wendy’s because it knows you’re hungry and knows you love Frosties, or pull up your flight reservation because it spied your Travelocity reservation in Gmail.
