Google I/O

Google reveals schedule for I/O, there will be just one keynote this time

We eagerly await each Google I/O as it usually brings some exciting new development for Android and Google’s other projects. Except this year things will probably be different – the schedule is out and it shows that the keynotes that usually span two days have been cut down to a single 3 hour session.

Last year at Google I/O was announced along with Google Glass and the ill fated Nexus Q.

With Glass launching recently, we guess it will be part of the keynote. But we doubt Google will cram in a groundbreaking phone like the rumored Motorola X in what time remains.

Will we at least see a new version of Android? And if yes, how significant will it be – Android 4.2 brought some cool improvements over 4.1 but it’s still labeled Jelly Bean as the changes weren’t that big.

We’ll have our answer in a couple of weeks – the Google I/O keynote starts at 9am on May 15.

Android Chief: Google I/O Will Be Different This Year

The Google I/O developer conference is less than 48 hours away and everyone is wondering if this will be another year of major product launches and skydiving Google Glass wearers. The short answer? Probably not. New Google Android head Sundar Pichai promised that this Google I/O will be different, so don't expect many new products or a new OS.

Samsung Galaxy S4 ‘Google Edition’ to be announced at Google I/O

Google’s big developer conference, I/O, is often the stage for new products, and this year is promising to be bigger than any other. Despite shifting from two smaller keynotes to one larger keynote, Google is ready to put on quite a show tomorrow. Part of the big day will be to announce a new version of Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S4. While Samsung’s phone is an incredible piece of hardware, many users find themselves less than pleased with Samsung’s version of Android. To resolve this once and for all, we’ve learned that a pure AOSP (Android Open Source Project) version of the Galaxy S4 is being prepped for launch and will be unveiled during the I/O keynote.

Dunno where they get their info from but it seems like a bit of a lame announcement.
 
For anyone that wants to follow it it will be starting at 6PM our time.
 
I'm covering it for NAG, should be interesting to watch. Apparently its three freakin' hours long!
 
Def watching!..

Last one was epic, this one will probably have some cool shyte in it as well.
