    The Official Google I/O 2012 App Is Now In The Play Store

    Posted by in Android OS, Applications, News

    Come one, come all [Google I/O attendees] - the official I/O app is now available in the Play Store. It includes maps, event schedules, the conference agenda, and detailed information about all sorts of devvy stuff. Oh, and this year you can play back various "I/O Live" talks and events straight to your 3.0+ tablet. Awesome. In addition, Google will be open sourcing the whole app once I/O has ended.

    Another new feature comes in the form of Android Beam support for 4.0+ devices, allowing you to "bump" session details between two NFC-enabled Android 4.0 phones.

    Google I/O Schedule Is Now Live, Get A First Look At All The Cool Android (And Other Google) Session Topics

    Posted by in Google, News

    In case the parade of trade shows and device announcements in the first half of the year aren't enough to keep you excited, Google I/O stands as the centerpiece of Android and Google hype. If you're just too eager to see what's going to happen late this June, then here's something to whet your appetite: The Google I/O schedule is now live at Google's developer site.

    2012-05-17_12h27_26

    The schedule includes information for all tracks, including Android, Chrome, Google TV, YouTube, and all your other favorite Google products. As always, we can expect some great announcements at the keynote sessions, which will likely be the highlight of the event for most of us.

    Google I/O Moved To June, And Now It's Three Days Long

    Posted by in News

    Okay, I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good: Google has decided to extend next year's I/O convention to three days instead of the usual two! That's more time to spend hitting the booths, attending sessions, and chatting it up with the Google devs. Awesome.

    Oh, the bad news - since the event is now three days long, the dates for the event have been pushed back a couple of months. Instead of happening April 24-25, it will be going on June 27-29. The venue, Moscone Center West in San Francisco, is still the same.

    Another interesting bit of info to come of this is that Google is advising against making travel arrangements at this time.
