Ever since it was announced during Google I/O 2012, Google Now has been a pretty big part of the Android Experience. Google now was introduced to us with the Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) update, and has been growing ever since! With Google Now you have all of the information that is important to you right at your fingertips in ways of cards or voice commands.
