Gmail update arrives with cleaner Card UI for conversations [Download] Sep 25th 2013, 18:20, by Cory Gunther Google has just confirmed this afternoon that they’ll be issuing an update to Gmail starting today which should seriously improve the user interface. Cards everywhere seems to be their new design direction, as we’re getting the same Card-based UI that was first introduced with Google Now, and eventually arrived for other Google apps. We have a feeling Android 4.4 KitKat will introduce a lot more Card UI elements, but for now it’s Gmail’s turn to enjoy it. Starting later today (gradual rollout) users will start getting an update to a slightly new and refined Gmail on Android. The card UI is cleaner, simple, and something we’ve loved since we first saw it with Google Now. The card UI will mainly be in the conversation view, as to not split up your inbox too much, but once in a conversation you’ll see the pretty and easy to navigate new UI changes. We’re all for it too, so thanks Google! The conversation improvements are the biggest part here, as that’s always been one of my least favorite aspects of the recent Gmail app. That isn’t all either. Google ends their announcement and Google+ post by confirming the app will now automatically let the user know if automatic email sync is enabled – or disabled – right in your inbox. So now you’ll never miss an important email because you forgot to enable sync. Update: And thanks to @WinDroidGuy here’s the download.

This week NBC announced their new app for Android with free streaming of their TV episodes. It’s actually pretty decent too, so read on for more details. The all-new NBC app is completely redesigned for Android, although it appears to be a bit more tablet friendly tha for smartphones, and overall it’s actually quite nice. Users in the US can browse shows with ease, and stream their favorite content. Also, this is completely free. Unlike other apps like WatchESPN where you’ll need to sign into your cable provider account for access, this is all free. There is 3-5 current episodes of many popular shows available, at least a good 15-20 for now, and we expect NBC to be adding more shortly. Hey, they even have Days of our Lives, for those who like that ridiculous soap drama. They offer a TV guide that doesn’t work too great but should show everything throughout to week so you can plan your couch or streaming adventures. With a simple and bold tile-based UI everything is clean, simple, and easy to navigate. And the NBC app also offers CC so it’s easy to watch for those who need that as well. Not bad guys, not bad at all. Now all we need is Chromecast support and more shows and we’ll give this 5 stars. We’re also noticing most devices are supported, including the Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, but oddly out of my wide array of handsets the Galaxy S4 isn’t included. You better get on that NBC, it’s a popular phone. It isn’t the most content ever for a video streaming app, but hey, it’s all free.

As we’ve seen in the past, Motorola has just started sending soak test invites out for an update for the AT&T Moto X. While it’s slightly possible this could be something else, all signs are pointing to the device getting the same update as T-Mobile’s variant, just like many other carriers will be receiving. Sprint started getting it this afternoon, and AT&T will quickly follow. Then hopefully Verizon will too at some point. As usual the Motorola Feedback Network sent out emails regarding some new software for the handset, and invited members to sign up for the soak test. We’re not expecting a new version of Android or anything, but the camera features and additional changes should all be on board. This changelog should be quite similar for AT&T. Of course we can’t be certain that this is what the software update will be about, but it makes sense given two other carriers Moto X got the same treatment this week. If all goes well we could see this roll out for AT&T users by this weekend. We’ll update when we learn more. — Thanks for the tips guys!
