The Stock Android Galaxy S IV Announced at Google I/O is The Talk of The Town

Google had a great deal going on at the I/O  conference a couple of days ago, included was a three hour keynote to explain the plans they have for the following year. On the list of all the news was the announcement of a Samsung Galaxy S IV running pure stock Android. You heard right, you will soon be able to buy a GS4 without the Samsung Touch Wiz UI sitting on the surface, and you will have the goodness of the pure untouched Android experience.

Google stated that the Galaxy S IV running stock Android will undoubtedly be sold unlocked at the Google Play Store for $649 around June. It will be the  GSM LTE version, meaning it's only AT&T and T-Mobile compatible so Verizon users must consider switching if they want to use the device on their network. It will come with Android 4.2 pre-loaded and, just like the Google's Nexus line, updates will arrive directly from Google. It will even have a completely unlocked boot-loader.

The Galaxy S IV launched about a month ago and features a 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED PenTile screen, either an octa-core Exynos 5 or quad-core Snapdragon processor (depending on the country where you're purchasing the phone), 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel shooter, a 2-megapixel camera front facing camera, 16GB or 32GB of storage, and a large 2,600mAh battery.

Gmail Will Let You Attach Money Payments to an Email Not Long From Now, Another New Feature of Google Wallet

Sending dosh with Google Wallet wasn't a very difficult problem before today, but Google has now dug up an ingenious new method to part you from your capital. 

"Throughout the next few months," Google will roll out a fresh payments feature within Gmail, allowing you to attach money in the same way you'd a picture or document. After clicking the newest "$" symbol within the composer window, you'll key in an amount and select the origin of the funds. Then hit Attach, click send, and bid farewell to your cash. It's as simple as that. 

You are able to probably get a great feel for how this  all works just from taking a look at the image above, but given the array of announcements today, we won't blame you for needing an even more comprehensive explanation. Uncle Google provides that as well. The demo video waiting bellow can clarify things more in depth.
