There are a depressing number of non-Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) handsets in the wild, so it could be that many are unfamiliar with Google’s impressive virtual assistant, Google Now<\/a>. While other virtual assistants require that you talk to them, Google Now\u00a0passively\u00a0collects data on you and learns a\u00a0surprising\u00a0amount.<\/p>\n For example, opening Google Now on my recently hacked-to-run-Android HP TouchPad reveals a card reminding me that it’s time to go to work. Not only is there a reminder, but there’s a map to my office. Same thing pops up at quitting time, only with a reminder to swing by the school to get the kids. Keep in mind that the TouchPad has no GPS \u2014 it learned my daily routine from multiple Android review devices and shared it via my account.<\/p>\n
