Almost here: Google I/O 2015
Posted By: Unknown On Sunday, 3 May 2015
During this event, as
usual, the company will take this opportunity to launch several new products with various improvements for its
products and services and maybe announce a
bunch more that will come later. With Android being the most popular platform,
it might take the lion’s share of attention again. Last year
for instance, among many reveals, Google used the conference to showcase its latest version of Android, Android 5.0 Lollipop simply named Android
L. The company also unveiled its platform for smartwatches and
wearables, Android Wear, its Material Design mantra, Google Fit, Google Glass, Android Auto and Android TV among others.
In
the L release, a new Battery Saver mode gives
a detailed statistics on what's draining your battery thereby improving
performance by making the ART engine the default. We were also introduced to Android Auto. Google
took some of its best features to the car. It allowed the user to plug in their
phone into their vehicles and the display provides simplified, car-friendly
controls for key apps. Some killer new features for the Chromecast
were also announced. This included the allowing anyone to cast content to their
TV without actually having to connect to the same Wi-Fi network.
So what’s exactly is
coming this time round? We are not so sure, but Chrome and the larger family (like the Chromecast) will
undoubtedly play a major role.
In addition to the actual conference taking place at San Francisco, Google will hold there I/O Extended event right here, at the Dedan Kimathi University’s DeHUB. There will be live streamed sessions, local developer’s demos, presentations and many more. Everyone is invited to attend. To be part of this great event, kindly register here, it’s absolutely free.
