Google Maps is getting a brand new user interface, across both Android and iOS. The leaked screenshots were pretty spot on, with the simple UI. There is a single search bar floating above, with new UI elements popping up when necessary. When searching for something, a small card pops up at the bottom. When you pull it up, all the information shows up…. Read more
Google+ has long been the underdog, but it seems like Google is once again pushing the service. They have redesigned the user interface with a new “cards” layout. The UI will adapt to the size of your display, with one to three columns of posts. Important posts can actually take up multiple columns. Each post will have automatic hashtags. Depending… Read more
If you think that the interface for Google Maps has gotten a bit stale, we may have some good news for you. Google Maps works, and often very well, but this facelift would be awesome. These screenshots were leaked and are claiming to be the new Google Maps under development. This user interface does away with the standard omnipresent UI elements,… Read more

If you were wondering how to use Google Glass, probably because you aren’t part of the Explorer program, Google has released a short video describing how to navigate through the UI.

As Android grows, so does the tablet market. And the tablet market is exactly where Android lags behind. Luckily, it’s catching up fast, just like Android as a whole was a few years ago. Google knows this, and they have been trying to push tablet optimized apps for a long time. Their newest effort is a screenshot system that only displays the screenshot… Read more
First of all, the company behind the OUYA has released a screenshot of the user interface, or “what it might look like when Kickstarter backers get their consoles in March.” So this might not be the final UI, but if it is, I can’t say I dislike it. It’s reminiscent of (read: nearly identical to) the Metro UI on the Xbox 360 and other Microsoft products…. Read more
The long promised native Facebook app is finally out. Facebook traded the HTML-based interface for a native one, increasing the speed of the app considerably. Facebook claims that things will load at least twice as fast now, and iOS users can attest to that when their native app came out (a long time ago). However, it might not be as great as you… Read more
The Netflix app has been updated with Android 4.2 support. Yes, the app worked with 4.2 before, but now it’s actually supported on 4.2 (which is important). It also comes with an improved player UI, making it easier to control your favorite shows. With a bigger volume slider, a scrub bar that changes the background as it moves, and a 10 second skip back… Read more
The Amazon Appstore has been updated today, and just like many app updates recently, the main fix is an Android 4.2 compatibility issue. Before the update, if you switched user accounts in Android, it would ask you to log into the Appstore again. This update fixes the issue along with a battery drain issue that’s been plaguing some people. One thing… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4TZKiDIGY0U The last time we showed you webOS on the Galaxy Nexus, the most we could say is that it booted. And that was a huge feat, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t exactly functional. However, this video shows how much progress they’ve made. It shows off UI scaling, and besides the lag and some… Read more
