 It didn't take long for Philadelphia Police to catch a suspect after a woman boarded a bus and punched an unsuspecting passenger 10 times in the face, head, neck and shoulders.

While most of us with iPhones simply accept the built-in weather application for what it is, WTHR looks to improve upon the idea with a version of a clean-cut weather app. The Beautifully Simply Weather App is currently available in the App Store for $1 USD, and provides users with current local weather and seven day forecasts (in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on preference). By the looks of it, the app appears to be even more simplified than Apple’s own version by providing users with text telling them the weather rather than simply displaying it.

As expected, Google used its I/O conference to shed some more light on its Project Glass prototypes. And in doing so, it pulled out all the stops, equipping skydivers with the glasses and streaming their perspectives as they swooped down at 135 mph, eventually onto the roof of the Moscone Center, where the conference was ongoing. After the divers arrived, Google co-founder Sergey Brin announced the device’s price tag: $1,500 a pair, available beginning next year to developers only—presumably to afford them the opportunity to create consumer apps before the devices have a full, commercial release.

Today Google unveiled a highly rumored Nexus 7 Tablet.

Furthermore, the Google Nexus 7 will run on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Those in the market can expect orders to begin shipping mid-July 2012.

Google shows no signs of slowing down in terms of releases today as it also unveils the Nexus Q alongside the Nexus 7 tablet. In some ways functioning with the same ideas as an Apple TV, the Nexus Q operates as a bridge between Android devices and its user’s television or entertainment system. Made for Google Play and YouTube, the Nexus Q allows you to stream music or movies from the cloud directly to your entertainment system. Additionally, it is built with a 25W amp that gives you the ability to power a set of speakers or hook it up to an AV receiver or HDTV. The orb-like streaming media device runs a version of Android 4.0 and is slated to hit market with a retail price point of $300 USD. Enjoy.
