Google has recently introduced Smart Canvas features to simplify template creation, document reuse, and YouTube video embedding. Now, it adds a polling feature that can be useful for shared Google Docs. With polls, it might help with making collective decisions more easily. Google allows users to add polls to documents using Smart Chips, a similar feature already available in Google Slides. You can vote by clicking the emoji next to the option you prefer and see the number of votes per option.

The company expects its users to utilize this polling feature to compare ideas, get feedback, and rank ideas based on popularity. And now, you don't have to use alternative apps to poll collaborators. You can already do it within the document you're working on. Google is rolling out the feature gradually, and it's only available for some customers, including Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Nonprofit-tier Workspace.

Samsung is expanding its Pokémon-themed products with three new Galaxy Buds 2 cases inspired by Jigglypuff, Ditto, and Snorlax. The Pokémon Packs also include stickers and a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 or Galaxy Buds 2 Pro headphones for KRW 129,000 (around CAD 130) or KRW 199,000 (~CAD 200), respectively. 

The South Korean company has been collaborating with the popular Japanese franchise since May 2022, when it launched Poké Ball cases for its Galaxy Buds 2 series. The cases were a huge hit, selling out in an hour, as did the Pokémon edition of the Galaxy Z Flip3 smartphone in September 2022. Samsung has also released Poké Ball-themed accessories for its Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 devices. The new cases are only available in South Korea for now, but they might show up on eBay soon for eager international fans.
