Less than 24-hours after Google officially announced a shedload of new products, features and functionality it’ll be adding to its rapidly-growing Android ecosystem in the coming weeks, the search engine giant has now uploaded the first batch of companion applications to the Play Store for us to download and acquaint ourselves with — even though the actual goods aren’t available just yet.
