The odd thing is, there is a timer function in the Clock app. You can manually set timers, you just can’t ask Now to do it for you. Android lice has heard from a source familiar with upcoming Search changes that this small issue will soon be rectified. You’ll ask for a timer, you’ll get a timer. The site even posted a couple screenshots (below), but note that these are not actual shots of the software in action. They’re Android lice’s mockups. But this is such simple funcationality, we can’t imagine it’s far off.
