Sony Smartband Talk gets update for detailed notifications and better voice search



If you've got one of Sony's excellent Smartband Talk smartwatches/fit bands and were worried Sony had forgotten about it...well, worry not.

Sony has released an update for the Talk's Android smartphone app that automatically also updates the band's firmware.

And it's a pretty major update.

There's a big improvement to how the band handles notifications.

Instead of the notifications disappearing into the ether after flashing on the band's screen for a few seconds, Sony has now introduced a Notification setting on the band that lists all recent notifications and also lets you read them in their entirety.  There's also the option to dismiss them or delete them.

The update also improves the band's voice search function by linking it with whatever voice search you're using on your Android phone, including the very functional Google Now.

Get updating...and breathe new life into your Smartband Talk.
