Some users have already seen the revamped Google weather card in search, but now everyone can expect to get the new look very soon. Google has updated the Inside Search blog to announce the new UI and give a rundown of its features. It's a bit cartoony (okay, a lot), but there's much more detail than you get with the old card. The background of the card will change to indicate the time of day and weather conditions. Along with that card, there's a little cartoon frog that experiences the weather along with you. The new card also includes hourly forecasts, severe weather alerts, extended forecast, air quality, UV index, and more. Google's weather card will show conditions in your current location by default, but you can add favorite locations as well. These will show up as a drop down in search. Google hasn't said when the new UI will roll out to everyone—my weather card appears to be the old one still. It shouldn't be long, though.

In December 2015, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, speaking at a college in Delhi, suggested that Google is considering holding a poll to allow users to decide the official name of Android N. The comment came after Pichai was asked why there has not been an Android version named after an Indian desert. He commented that he would ask his mother for suggestions, and an online poll might make it a reality. We're betting that Android N will be called Android Nutella. / ©  ANDROIDPOLICE Android N: what we already know Android N release date We already know what the Android N re...
