Nokia
on Tuesday, along with the
announcement of the "first Nokia-branded
Android tablet" dubbed the
Nokia N1, has also released the "predictive
Nokia Z Launcher" as a beta app on Google Play. Previously, the company
had released the
limited
pre-beta version of the Z Launcher app via the Z Launcher website in
June.
The Nokia Z Launcher also ships with Nokia N1 Android tablet
as custom UI on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. For other devices running
Android versions ranging from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to Android 4.4
KitKat can download the Nokia Z Launcher Beta app from Google
Play (notably, the app is not available on Google Play India yet).
The
company says that, "Throughout the day, Nokia Z Launcher is learning
how you use your phone and promoting your favourite apps so you can get
to them faster." It adds that over time, the "Z Launcher learns what
applications are in use, and predicts and highlights the applications
consumers are expected to want based on time of day and location."
Just
like the pre-beta version of the app, users can 'Scribble' the first
letter of the search on home screen and it finds the related app,
contact or task. Nokia says that with the Adapt feature, the launcher
over time "learns to promote the right stuff at the right time."
