Google Keep Becomes 'Keep Notes', Rebranding Limited to Android for Now

Google Keep, the widely popular note-taking app by Google, has received an update that renames its identity to "Keep Notes". Google hasn't yet rebranded the Keep app on iOS. Its Web app is still called Keep as well. However, the search giant has silently renamed the Google Keep app for Android devices to Keep Notes. The updated Google Keep (version 5.0.371.03) shows the rebranding on its app icon as well as the App info page. The new change comes a long time after Google brought its Keep app to G Suite.
With the Keep Notes branding, Google is apparently trying to emphasise on the note-taking ability of the Keep app. The new name is yet to be implemented for the iOS and Web versions of the Keep app. The side panel on Google's G Suite, including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs, is also still referring to the original name.
The new name indeed highlights the key features of the Keep app. The app lets users add notes, lists, and photos. It also allows you to record a voice memo that will be transcribed directly on the app. Similarly, there is an option to even draw some stuff while on-the-go.
However, the rebranding makes it a little confusing if you suggest someone to use Google Keep Notes to write notes. Google could use "Notes" instead of Keep Notes, but again, there are several apps with 'Notes' in their title already available on Google Play. This would make it difficult to distinguish Google's offering against the hundred odd apps.
In spite of the latest rebranding, Google hasn't brought any new features or tweaks to the Keep app. The overall experience is identical to the previous version.

Hotstar Announces On Air with AIB Season 3 Release Date in New Trailer

Hotstar  has announced the release date for On Air with AIB season 3 in a new trailer: it’s out September 24. The news comedy show is hosted by the  All India Bakchod  sketch quartet of Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi, and Ashish Shakya. As before, the show will release new episodes every week, though it’s unclear how many there will be given the shifting nature of the series in past years. After trying out a dual-language approach with the first season in 2015 – Bhat and Khamba in Hindi, and Joshi and Shakya in English – where two episodes tackling the same topics were released each week for a total of 20 episodes, On Air with AIB moved to a new format with its second season in 2017, releasing three episodes a week. Season 2 had 40 episodes in total. While one main episode, usually about 20 minutes in length and released every Monday, discussed topical news and dove into issues it deemed prevalent (the segment was called ‘Deep Dive’), a second shorter ep...

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide Walmart  said on Wednesday it will  pay $16 billion (roughly Rs. 1.07 lakh crores) for a roughly 77 percent stake in Indian e-commerce firm  Flipkart , the US retailer's largest-ever deal as it competes with  Amazon.com  in an important growth market. Shares of Walmart fell 3 percent. The company warned it expects the deal to reduce fiscal 2019 earnings by 25-30 cents per share if it closes in the second quarter. It also expects Indian investments to shave 60 cents per share from earnings in fiscal 2020. Walmart's acquisition opens a new front in its battle with Amazon, which had expressed interest in making a competing offer. Amazon holds about 27 percent of India's burgeoning e-commerce market, according to Euromonitor, where Walmart only operates 21 cash-and-carry wholesale stores in the country that sell to businesses. The deal probably will not do much to change market s...
