“Waze” maps and navigation app seems to be one of the craziest Google purchases of the decade.
Right from the start “Waze” was an exceptional application where users were able to captured and reported car crashes, speeding radars and on-road hazards. Later on, Google Maps update rolled out bringing most of the same features in the app.
Such notice was published in August 2011, whose prospect was quite simple: Despite Google already working with third-party manufacturers on Nexus, company wanted to become a solid player in smartphones business. The idea was to run Motorola as a separate business entirely from the Android project in purpose to compete with Samsung and HTC – two most powerful manufacturers of Android powered phones at the time.,
After seeing Apple’s success with the iPAD tablet in 2011, Google needed to get on the same train and they had to act quickly, as other manufacturers were preparing to launch their own tablets without a clear OS model.
And so it happened…

Users were able to have a landscape mode, discover new notifications and updated display settings. But most importantly, “Honeycomb” rolled out with enough space and freedom for application developers to customize OS bringing their own features into it. The updated Android design with variety of new themes quickly caught smartphones users attention.

One of the main huge inventions that forever highly improved whole gameplay was Android operating system release and everything that went along with it. As well as its integration and bunch of applications across platforms that changed the way we use our smartphones till this day.
