I am happy to watch the Google I/O 2014 event live on YouTube via CNET through my Chromecast on my television. My notes (I will update as I watch, just found the link at 1:45pm EST, I wish I turned it on at noon when available):
- Chromecast will be able to mirror your Android device. It will roll out to Nexus, Samsung and LG models first.
- Recently, Chromebooks are able to be unlocked by your phone. Chromebooks will be able to have the exact same applications as the Android applications. Flipboard is going to look great!
- With the next version of Android, business and personal data may be separated on the same device.
- Native Google Docs editor within Google Drive so it may continue to be saved as a Word, Excel or Powerpoint files without having to convert.
- Google Drive has unlimited storage for $10/month.
- App developers:
- Duolingo to help learn a new language.
- Hello Navi to help the blind walk with voice guidance.
- Google Cloud Platform to build and scale your projects.
- Cloud Save - share information to utilize a number of ways.
- Google Debugger - allows cloud debugging for HTML
- can share with others to recommend changes to code.
- Cloud Tracing - shows how changes affect the application speed
- Cloud Monitoring - (going a little over my head at this point with HTML code, but I know it is helpful if I ever get to that point) - no setup including a variety of open source packages
- Cloud Dataflow - create data pipelines
- Google Play
- Appurify - allows demonstration of how apps perform on different platforms and is included FREE.
- Google Fit Platform - available in a few weeks with one set of APIs
- Google Play Games - fastest growing game network of all time. Many new capabilities.
- LG watch or Samsung Gear Live, and Motorola 360 given to guest as soon as it is available.
