Google Now updated with reminders, real-time public transit updates

Google Now is getting some I/O love, too. Several updates, called cards, are already available in the Google Play Store. You'll be able to set reminders for nagging pop-ups ("buy milk" is the obvious example). Now will also show you cards for upcoming books, albums and TV shows based on what Google thinks you'll like -- which could either be quite helpful or exasperating depending on how well it knows you accuracy. Finally, real-time public transportation updates will be available in select cities, and Japan will even get a "last train home" alert. Nab these features by visiting the source link below. No word on when the new functionality will hit the iOS Google Search app.

We got a look at the new features in action via an onstage demo. Simply asking Google questions like, "Show me things to do in Santa Cruz" will bring up relevant results, and more specific queries such as "Show me a picture of the boardwalk" deliver the desired images, too.
