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.
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."
On Monday, the Finnish
telecommunications giant Nokia unveiled the N1 tablet with Android 5.0
Lollipop. It features a 7.9-inch (2048x1536 pixel) IPS LED-backlit display
