Enchanting. That first impression when I saw the HTC Butterfly. Her whole screen is dark, with a rosy color cast on the back, presenting a promising elegance.

However, design is not just created to pamper the eyes, but also determine the comfort when using these smart mobile phone. She is the entrance to attract anyone.

Google Now an exclusive application that previously only existed in Android Jelly Bean with similar capabilities in iOS rumored Siri will be available soon on the iPhone & iPad.

This conclusion can be drawn after engadget find promo video on Youtube (video has been withdrawn) that shows the features and capabilities of Google Now on iPhone & iPad. The video has a voice narration with video promo which it demoed earlier android application integration with Google search in the iOS Now.
