Now that Google I/O is over, I finally have time to catch my breath, sleep, and then post all the updates I was able to scoop, as well as answers to some of the questions you guys have been asking.

Before that, though, I wanted to show you the best of the shwag that I got at the conference. Here it is, with the awesome AndroidPolice.com shirt in the background:

Google Shwag And Secret Messages Encoded On The Google I/O T-Shirts

I meant to post this in the morning but ran out of time, so this may be a little old news now. Apologies if you've already seen it.

Yesterday was day 0 of the Google I/O conference. During this day, presenting developers set up their demo stations, known here as sandboxes, register, check in, and last but not least - receive shwag, also known as "free crap".

This year, the official shwag included:

  • a Motorola Droid or a Nexus One
  • an official Google I/O t-shirt (displayed below)
  • 2 little Android figurines (displayed below)

After playing around with the figurines and throwing a party for them on my laptop (good times), I turned my attention to the t-shirt.
