It\u2019s been a busy week for tech news, so we wouldn\u2019t blame you if you\u2019ve had a hard time keeping up. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve rounded up all of the big stories you may have missed, whether it\u2019s Amazon\u2019s new 30-minute delivery option in select cities or all of the big updates coming to Android phones. There\u2019s even some good news for Wordle fans: a game show based on the popular word game is about to start filming.<\/p>\n

Ready? Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

Even though Google I\/O 2026 doesn\u2019t start until next week, Google gave Android fans an appetizer with the latest Android Show on Tuesday.

To kick things off, Google introduced Gemini Intelligence, which lets the AI assistant perform multi-step tasks across your phone. See a travel brochure and want to schedule your own trip? You can snap a picture and ask Google to book a similar tour on Expedia.

Gemini will leave you in control, though, only teeing things up for you to make the final decision.<\/p>\n

Google also showed off a huge revamp coming to Android Auto, with fresh design tweaks, customizable home screen widgets, and the ability to watch HD video on your car\u2019s screen when you\u2019re parked. Gemini Intelligence is included here, too, allowing you to do things like have it order food from Doordash on your way home from work.<\/p>\n

While Google did not announce any specific devices, it did share a teaser of what a new Googlebook laptop could look like.<\/span> (Google)<\/span><\/p>\n

While we didn\u2019t get a ton of details, Google also introduced Googlebooks, which are an evolution of Chromebooks built with AI at the forefront. Focused on the premium hardware, it appears that Googlebooks are the end result of Google\u2019s…<\/p>\n
