Isikhethi se-apula Engqungqutheleni yayo yaminyaka yonke ebizwa nge-I/O, i-Google yethule imikhiqizo eminingana emisha, eminye yayo ezojabulisa ngisho nabasebenzisi be-Apple, ikakhulukazi i-Google Apps ye-iPad emenyezelwe izokwenza abanikazi bamathebulethi badumale ngamamephu we-Apple. Ukuntuleka kwanoma yiziphi izindaba zehadiwe kungaba ukudumazeka okuncane.
Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Hangouts
Njengoba kulindelekile, i-Google ihlanganise izinsizakalo zayo zokuxhumana ezintathu futhi ekugcineni inikeza isisombululo esisodwa esiphelele sokuxhumana kwe-inthanethi. I-Google Talk, Chat ku-Google+ kanye ne-Hangouts kuhlanganisiwe futhi kwenza entsha ebizwa ngokuthi i-Hangouts.
Insizakalo inesicelo sayo samahhala se-iOS (indawo yonke ye-iPhone ne-iPad) ne-Android. Ingafakwa esipheqululini se-inthanethi se-Chrome futhi ngenxa yalokho ungakwazi futhi ukuxoxa ngaphakathi kwenkundla yokuxhumana ye-Google+. Ukuvumelanisa kuphathwa kuzo zonke izinkundla futhi kusebenza kuzo zombili izaziso nomlando wemilayezo. Ngokusho kokuhlangenwe nakho kokuqala, konke kusebenza kahle. Ngokushesha nje lapho umsebenzisi eqala i-Chrome futhi exoxa ngayo, izaziso ocingweni ziyaphazamiseka futhi azisebenzi futhi kuze kuqedwe ukuxhumana ngaphakathi kwe-Chrome.
Ngandlela thize, i-Hangouts ifana kakhulu ne-Facebook's Messenger. Iphinde inikeze umsebenzisi amandla okuxhumana nabangane noma nini nanoma kuphi, ukuthumela izithombe futhi, ngokwezinga elilinganiselwe, nengxoxo yevidiyo. Ukuvumelanisa nakho kusingathwa ngokufana kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, inkinga enkulu ye-Google okwamanje ilele kubasebenzisi bayo, i-Facebook enayo ephakeme kakhulu. Kuze kube manje, ngaphandle kwemizamo emikhulu ye-Google yokuyiphromotha, inkundla yokuxhumana ye-Google+ idlala kuphela i-fiddle yesibili esigabeni esifanele.
I-Google Maps ye-iPad
I-Google Maps cishe iyisicelo semephu esidume kakhulu kuwebhu, amawebhusayithi kanye nezinkundla zamaselula. NgoDisemba wonyaka odlule, inkampani yakhipha uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Google Amamephu lwe-iPhone. Manje i-Google isimemezele ukuthi uhlelo lokusebenza lwemephu luzotholakala futhi kumathebulethi anezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-iOS ne-Android ehlobo, lapho luzosebenzisa khona ngokuyinhloko indawo yabo yokubonisa enkulu.
Kodwa-ke, ukuxhumana kwewebhu kwamamephu avela ku-Google nakho kuzobhekana nezinguquko ezinkulu maduze nje. Ulwazi manje seluzokhonjiswa ngqo kumephu ngokwayo hhayi emaceleni ayo, njengoba bekunjalo ngaphambili. UJona Jones, umklami oholayo womqondo omusha wemephu, utshele i-TechCrunch: “Kungenzekani uma besingakwazi ukudala amamephu ayisigidi, ngalinye lisenzela umsebenzisi ohlukile? Yilokho kanye esikwenzayo lapha.” I-Google Maps manje isizojwayelana nezithakazelo zabasebenzisi, ibonise izindawo zokudlela ezivakashelwe umsebenzisi noma angazithanda, futhi izogxila kulokho abangani bakhe abakwenzayo.
Inguqulo yamanje yamamephu imile futhi ilindele isicelo esithile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, entsha ilindele futhi inikeza. Uma uchofoza endaweni yokudlela, isibonelo, kuzovela ithebhu enezilinganiso zabangani bakho ku-Google+ nabagxeki abavela kuphothali ekhethekile ye-Zagat, i-Google eyayithola ngaphambilini ngokuyithenga. Ukubuka kuqala kwezithombe ezivela ku-Google Street View noma izithombe ze-panoramic zangaphakathi, i-Google ebilokhu ikunikeza kusukela ekwindla, nazo zikhonjiswa ngokuzenzakalelayo.
Ukusesha umzila nakho kuzoba okunembile. Ngeke kusadingeka ukushintsha phakathi kwemizila yemoto nabahamba ngezinyawo. Ngokushesha sithola zonke izinketho ezihlukaniswa kuphela ngombala womugqa. Isinyathelo esikhulu esiya phambili yikhono lokuvele uchofoze ezindaweni ezimbili kumephu ukuze ubonise umzila ngaphandle kokufaka ikheli ngokuzikhandla.
Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Google Earth nakho kusha, ngenxa yokuthi ukufakwa okuhlukile kukhompuyutha ngeke kusadingeka. Ukususa lesi sidingo kukuvumela ukuthi uxhumanise ukubuka kwemephu yakudala nokufinyelela okulula ekuhloleni kuqala ku-Google Earth. Uma uhlehlisa uMhlaba kusixhumi esibonakalayo se-Google Earth, ungafika ku-orbit, futhi manje usungabona nokuhamba kwangempela kwamafu. Isici esithakazelisa kakhulu yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi "Ukuvakasha Kwezithombe", okuzohlinzeka ngenhlanganisela yezithombe ezivela ku-Google nalezo ezithathwe abasebenzisi endaweni ngayinye. Ngaleyo ndlela sizothola indlela entsha "yokuvakashela" izindawo zezivakashi ezaziwayo ngemali ephansi futhi ngokunethezeka.
Ngisho namamephu ayo, i-Google ibheja kakhulu kunethiwekhi yayo yokuxhumana nabantu i-Google+. Ukuze yonke into isebenze ngendlela efanele, kuyadingeka ukuthi abasebenzisi balinganisele ibhizinisi ngalinye ngalo, babelane ngendawo yabo nemisebenzi yabo. Ngamafuphi, umqondo wamanje we-Google Amamephu udinga ukuhlanganyela okusebenzayo kwabasebenzisi ekuthuthukisweni nasekuthuthukisweni kwabo. Ngakho-ke umbuzo wokuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwangempela lwenkonzo yonke luzoqhathaniswa nesampula.
I-Google Now nokusesha ngezwi kwe-Chrome
Umsebenzi we-Google Now wethulwa yi-Google impela unyaka owodwa odlule ku-I/O yangonyaka odlule, futhi ngenyanga edlule uphinde wavela kusibuyekezo sohlelo lokusebenza. Usesho lwe-Google lwe-iOS. Inkulumo imemezele amathebhu amasha amasha azovela kumenyu ye-Google Now. Okokuqala, kunezikhumbuzo ezingasethwa ngendlela efanayo ne-Siri, i.e. ngezwi. Ikhadi lezokuthutha zomphakathi nalo lingeziwe, okungenzeka liphakamise ukuxhumana okuqondile nezindawo lapho i-Google icabanga ukuthi uya khona. Okokugcina, kunamakhadi okuncoma ahlukahlukene amamuvi, uchungechunge, ama-albhamu omculo, izincwadi nemidlalo. Nokho, kungacatshangwa ukuthi izincomo zizoqondiswa ku-Google Play, ngakho-ke ngeke zivele enguqulweni ye-iOS.
Ukusesha ngezwi kuzobe sekunwetshwa kumakhompyutha kusetshenziswa isiphequluli se-inthanethi se-Chrome. Kuzokwazi ukwenza umsebenzi usebenze ngenkinobho noma ngomshwana wokwenza kusebenze "OK, Google", okungukuthi ngomushwana ofana nalowo osetshenziswe ukwenza kusebenze i-Google Glass. Umsebenzisi ube esefaka umbuzo wakhe wosesho bese i-Google izama ukusebenzisa Igrafu Yolwazi ukuze ibonise ulwazi olufanele ngendlela efana naleyo eyenziwa nguSiri. Njengomsizi wedijithali we-Apple, abasebenzisi base-Czech baphelelwe yinhlanhla, ngoba i-Knowledge Graph ayitholakali ngesi-Czech, nakuba i-Google ingakwazi ukubona igama elikhulunywayo ngolimi lwethu.
Ifana nesikhungo segeyimu ye-Android
Enkulumweni yokuqala, i-Google ayizange yethule inguqulo elindelekile ye-Android 4.3, kodwa yembula izinsizakalo ezintsha zonjiniyela, okungenzeka ukuthi kwezinye izimo kungaba umona wozakwabo abathuthukela i-iOS. Amasevisi wegeyimu ye-Google Play aphindaphinda kakhulu ukusebenza kwe-Game Center. Bazosiza ikakhulukazi ukudalwa kwabadlali abaningi abaku-inthanethi, ngoba bazonakekela ukuthola abamelene nabo nokugcina ukuxhumana. Phakathi kweminye imisebenzi, ngokwesibonelo, ukonga izikhundla ngamafu, ukukleliswa kwabadlali kanye nezimpumelelo, konke esingase sikuthole ngendlela yamanje ye-Game Center (uma sibala iCloud ukuze silondoloze izikhundla).
Phakathi kwezinye izinsiza, i-Google inikeze, ngokwesibonelo, ukuvumelanisa kwezaziso. Isibonelo, uma abasebenzisi bekhansela isaziso ocingweni lwabo, sizonyamalala esikhungweni sezaziso nakuthebhulethi, uma kuyisaziso sohlelo olufanayo. Isici ngokuqinisekile esingathanda ukusibona naku-iOS.
I-Google Music All Access
I-Google yethule isevisi yayo yomculo okudala ilindelwe ku-Google Play Music All Access. Ngo-$9,99 ngenyanga, abasebenzisi bangabhalisela ukusakaza umculo abawuthandayo. Uhlelo lokusebenza alunikezeli nje kuphela isizindalwazi esikhulu sezingoma, kodwa futhi nethuba lokuthola abaculi abasha ngezincomo ezisuselwe ezingomeni esezilalelwe. Ungakha "umsakazo" engomeni eyodwa, lapho uhlelo lokusebenza ludala uhlu lwadlalwayo lwezingoma ezifanayo. I-All Access izotholakala kusukela ngoJuni 30 kuphela e-US, kamuva isevisi kufanele inwetshelwe kwamanye amazwe. I-Google izophinda inikeze isilingo samahhala sezinsuku ezingu-30.
Isevisi efanayo ye-"iRadio" nayo ilindeleke ku-Apple, okubikwa ukuthi isaxoxisana nezinkampani zokuqopha. Kungenzeka ukuthi le nkonzo ingase ivele ngaphambi kwengqungquthela ye-WWDC 2013, eqala emasontweni amathathu.
Ezwini eliyinhloko lokuqala, i-Google iphinde yabonisa ezinye izinto ezintsha, ezifana nenethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu ye-Google+ eklanywe kabusha enemisebenzi yokuthuthukisa izithombe noma amafomethi ayo ewebhu e-WebP kanye ne-VP9 yezithombe nokusakaza ividiyo. Ekupheleni kwenkulumo, umsunguli we-Google u-Larry Page ukhulume futhi wabelana ngombono wakhe wekusasa lobuchwepheshe nababukeli abangu-6000 abakhona. Usebenzise isigamu sehora sokugcina senkulumo eyisihluthulelo yamahora angu-3,5 emibuzweni yonjiniyela abakhona.
