Google Now Widget Shows Up In Nexus Support Pages

Now, widgetized. See what we did there?

Hey, remember that Google Now thing that we mentioned earlier this morning? Well, it turns out that there’s gonna be a widget, too, as revealed in the support documentation for the new Nexus 4 and 10, as well as the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung’s entry in the series.

Several of Google’s official support pages show an image and a description of the new Google Now widget that “displays a summary of your current Google Now cards, either on a Home screen or on the lock screen.”

Touching a section of the widget will apparently bring up the relevant Google Now information on the touchscreen, as well. The reference can be seen in the support pages for the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10, but not for the Nexus 7, for whatever reason. Details are thin as to how the widget will show up on supported Nexus phones, whether as a download or an Android OS update, but we’ll keep an eye out and let know know when we do.
