Google I/O 2014 – What to Expect!

1. Yeah, Apple’s premium devices are expensive. Apple will probably never sell billions of cheap phones to users in poor countries. But with Apple you get what you see; there’s none of Google’s fake altruism.

   Lots of the products shown at Google I/O were clearly copied from Apple. Android’s new Material design UI looks like iOS 7 with shadows; Android now supports 64-bit CPUs; Android TV and Android Auto are straight-up clones of Apple TV and CarPlay.

   The only original thing — details about the new Android Wear platform — appeared unfocused and underwhelming. Showing off myriad functions of wrist-worn computers just demonstrated that, like Samsung, Google still hasn’t figured out good reasons why you’d want to wear a computer on your wrist. We’ll see what Apple comes up with later on this front, but the long-rumored iWatch will likely focus on health and exercise.

   Tellingly, most of Google’s presenters wore smartwatches — but not one of them wore Google Glass, which may or may not signal that Google is about to kill the headgear of choice for “Glassholes.” Those wearing Google Glass in the audience looked like they didn’t get the memo.

   At the end of two hours, everyone was flagging. And as the keynote rounded its second hour, someone joked on Twitter: “Will no one stand up and yell that this is going on for too long?”

   At this point, the most revealing moment transpired. Eric Schmidt was introduced, but instead of Google’s chairman, an unknown engineer walked out. It perfectly encapsulated the WTF aura of the event.

   In the end, the lineup of products looked like a hastily thrown-together imitation of Apple’s pipeline; any unity was marred by protesters; reporters had fallen asleep; Tim Cook had gone hiking in Yosemite; and somebody had already mocked up a T-shirt that captured the mood at the end of the ponderous presentation. “I sat through a 3 hour Google IO Keynote and all I got was a crappy watch.”

   That and an unfiltered peek at Google’s unfocused, unoriginal and slightly soiled soul.

2. Moto x+1

3. Great videos as usual. All I would like is to finally see the Android Wear devices and for Google to explain the switch to Android Silver from Nexus.

4. I hope samsung announce new galaxy tab s-2 8.4

5. I hope I/O brings up the Android Silver concept. It seems AS has gone under the radar. :/

6. I want project ara

24. what to expect from Google I/O?
    all the new features of iOs 10!

25. Google take advantage of your car relations and convince them to all turn to Google maps it is probably the best navi there is its easy to use. We don't want the ones car companies make they are all counter intuitive. Make a platform for cars since they are all moving to touch free control make different levels of it economic to top of the line it would be a great thing in my opinion

28. Who the hell are you lahn¿

29. You have a Spidey poster! Cool

30. Lollipop, Lemon Merengue, Lamington,
    Litchi… Whatever is going to be called, we need it to be on the Note 4, Nexus 6 and whatever else you can throw at it! My contact is almost up and I'm excited to see what Google is going unleash on us. A Nexus 10 successor would be what I want must of all.
