Google Duo comes to Android Tablets and iPADs

          Google Duo is available for iPads

After Android devices and the iPhone , Google has also released its video chat app Duo for the iPad . It took just over two years until the application also appeared for iPads. Google has made its video chat app Duo available for iPads, as the company announced on Twitter . The app Google Duo, with which you can make video calling with your friends and family, is now optimized for Android tablets and iPads. The update will be rolled out to everyone in the coming days, so it may take some time before it has arrived.

 This also allows users of Apple's tablets to call other users who use the application on their Android smartphone or tablet or on an iPhone. Google Duo, the video provider application of the search engine giant, has received an important update that potentially allows more people to use the app. The software is namely optimized for devices with larger screens, such as Android tablets and iPads.

According to Google, the entire Duo app has been optimized for tablets. What that means is that there is support for both portrait and landscape modes, and Google says the service should be easy to set up on tablets, and easy to understand given the customized user interface. With version 39 of the app, Google Duo can be downloaded from the App Store and installed on iPads. Version 39 of Duo still hasn't landed on Android, so we don't know if it will change things, but you can already benefit from tablet support and a landscape interface on v38, which has been available for a while.

Google tweeted about Google Duo in twitter last night. It’s been two years since the launch of Duo, and not much has changed for Google on the video chat front.

Face to face with just a tap

This is a useful update. But until starting a Duo call is as easy as starting a regular phone call, people are going to keep to turning to another app they have installed that their friends are already using, be it Skype, Facebook Messenger, or something else.

After Android devices and the iPhone , Google has also released its video chat app Duo for the iPad . It took just over two years until the application also appeared for iPads. According to a tweet from Google, the update is now being rolled out to all devices that are eligible for the update. It can still take a few days before it has arrived at everyone, because such an update is usually rolled out in phases.

With its simplicity and ease of use, Duo appeals to a wide array of individuals. It’s not loaded with extra features like Skype and, unlike FaceTime, it works across both major mobile operating systems.

In July 2018 Google duo had also Android tablets made available - nearly two years after the release of Android smartphones and iPhones so. Two more months have passed before Duo finally came to the iPads. With Duo, users can make video calls with other users. The caller is already visible before the call is accepted. If a caller is not available, a video message can be left.

Once you have the update on your Android tablet or iPad, you can always and everywhere, or at least when you have access to the Internet, video calling with anyone who has the same application. Normally you would do that via your smartphone, but now you can also use it on your tablet. The rollout for the Google Duo update has already started on August 22, so you may have already received the update. You can always check in the download store if there is a newer version available.

Google Duo lets iPad users call their Android friends

Since Duo is supposed to replace Hangouts as your all-purpose mobile video and calling app, it's hard to believe there's been no tablet-specific version. Google just rectified that with the release of Duo versions for both iPad and Android tablets. That could entice some iOS users with Android friends to switch, as rival app Hangouts is still limited to Apple's walled garden.

It’s a nice addition, especially since people tend to video chat at home where tablets are around and a larger screen is appreciated.

Microsoft announces Surface Go: the most portable and affordable Surface product yet.

 
Microsoft launches smaller, cheaper Surface Go to rival the iPad

Microsoft announced its new Surface Go on Monday evening. Microsoft announced its own promising competitor, the Surface Go, a lighter, thinner, less expensive version of the Surface Pro. MICROSOFT CORP is going for the low-end of the personal computing market with a smaller, cheaper Surface Go tablet that takes on Apple Inc's cheapest iPads.  Microsoft's new Surface Go 2-in-1 tablet is an affordable, accessible way to jump into the Surface ecosystem.  The Surface Go is an intriguing low-cost detachable for potential Surface buyers who want to launch into Microsoft's well-made, attractive 2-in-1s on a budget.  While the exterior of the Surface Go makes it look like a baby Surface Pro, Microsoft has changed a lot inside.

Microsoft's Surface Go is... go

The Surface Go resembles other models of Microsoft’s successful Surface tablet range, but has a smaller 10in screen, is 8.3mm thick and only weighs 522g. But the biggest difference is the price: the Surface Go starts at £380 in the UK and $399 in the US, which is half the price of the cheapest Surface Pro tablet, but still $70 more than the 9.7-inch iPad.  Microsoft comes along with a cloud focused tablet in a similar price range, arguably offering the same features.  The Surface Go is about the size of a composition notebook and runs Windows 10 S software. Like every other tablet out of Redmond, it has a detachable keyboard and supports the Surface Pen. It also offers a few features aimed at students: Portrait mode renders pages much like a textbook and landscape mode renders them side-by-side like an open book.  The Surface Go has Microsoft’s high-resolution PixelSense screen technology, including support for the Surface Pen stylus, with its full 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity and very low latency. The tablet also has its own version of the detachable keyboard from the Surface Pro, and the built-in kickstand that supports up to 165-degrees of angle. A built-in kickstand makes Go more suitable for working or streaming shows on the go, and the promise of a nine-hour battery means you can do both on one charge. Like the 9.7-inch iPad, which works with the Apple Pencil, the Surface Go supports the Surface Pen ($99), a stylus you can use to annotate essays or mark up presentations. Alcantara, a luxuriously soft material Microsoft used to line its Surface Laptop, is present here too, on an attachable type cover ($129) that the company says features "laptop-class typing". 

Additionally, you can sign in with facial recognition, video chat with a five megapixel, front-facing HD camera, and, if you're so inclined, take photos with the eight megapixel rear HD camera. While the Surface Laptop launched at an education event alongside Windows 10 S, the Surface Go appears to be targeted far more broadly across education, regular consumers, and even commercial usage. It’s clearly designed to be a cheaper and more portable Surface that lowers the barrier of entry for those put off by the price of a Surface Pro and its more capable specifications. It’s also aiming to be more than an iPad or a Chromebook. Surface Go also has the ports you need, including Surface Connect for charging and docking; USB-C 3.1 for data, video, and charging; a headphone jack; and a MicroSD card reader for storage expansion. All designed to help you be more productive whether you’re studying in a library, working on a plane, or sharing your content in a boardroom on a 4K monitor.

Surface Go offers a stunning, custom-built high-resolution PixelSense Display that supports Surface Pen with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, low pen parallax, low latency, and precision for accurate note taking, drawing and computer-aided design. The custom calibrated 3:2 display is soft on your eyes while you’re working and vibrantly high-contrast when you want to watch videos, create art, or edit photos.

In portrait mode, the screen was designed to render the page to the scale of most school textbooks, and in landscape mode, it can render pages side by side as if you were holding a paperback book in hand. At the approximate size of a composition notebook, writing on the screen feels natural and intuitive.

“Surface Go is small and mighty, giving you the performance you need to be productive. When we designed this device, we had to ask ourselves what people want and need from a 10” Surface. The answers seem obvious – lightweight, productive, and accessible to more people”, Microsoft said.

What's Difference with iPad

The Surface Go is still more expensive than the cheapest iPad. Apple’s base model iPad is priced at $329. Apple's iPad has always felt like a tablet, Microsoft's Surface Pro has been able to more successfully straddle the line between tablet and laptop.  The latest iPad costs less (prices start at $329), and is slightly smaller (a 9.7-inch display) and lighter (1.03 pounds). In comparison on the OS, iPad  uses Apple's iOS, the same OS used by the iPhone. That means a massive library of apps, games, streaming services, and more. The iPad,  uses Apple's A10 Fusion chip. It's the same system-on-a-chip (SoC) that the iPhone 7 used, and it still offers impressive performance for a tablet. It's a generation behind the A11 Bionic chip used on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. The Surface Go is a prime candidate for Arm-based chips from Qualcomm to provide an experience much closer to iPad in terms of battery life.

It goes on sale on Aug 2 with Wi-Fi connectivity. Cellular versions are coming later.  Surface Go will be available for pre-order beginning on July 10 in the following markets, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. In the coming weeks, Surface Go will be available for pre-order in Japan, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and in China with more markets to follow, wrote on the Windows blog.
