I know what you mean. Imagine what they will be giving out next year. lol
I am so there. $900.00 is nothing. I will meet you there & I will get us a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red. How does that sound.

I hope they make you code to get a ticket next year so all these freeloaders will go somewhere else and not ruin it for people who actually want to learn

24. nicholassss posted on 27 Jun 2012, 15:28 6

Apple paid out over $5 billion to developers of Apps on the iOS system. The message is you can get filthy rich if you work hard, have a great app, and the app works flawless on iOS.

Let's see..
WWDC - costs 1600$. People get for free... nothing.
Google I\O costs 900$ - people get for free a Galaxy Nexus (200$ worth), Nexus 7(200$ worth), Nexus Q (250$ worth). That leaves entry down to 250$
1600$ - Apple
250$ - Google
Know the difference. :)

Oh - sorry - well that's 53$ then lol. :)

53$
1600. 53.
You pay 30x the price for 1/500 the value.
10. shadowcell posted on 27 Jun 2012, 14:20 1
You still have to fork over the $900 beforehand and ordered a ticket within 20 minutes. -_-

5. Galen20K posted on 27 Jun 2012, 14:06 1
daaaaang, that is a lot of Swag!! best year ever for swag really.
9. CellularNinja posted on 27 Jun 2012, 14:16 2
Wooohhh!! That's insanely awesome! That's alot of money for the tickets but you get alot of the money back that's for sure.

you realize that people who go to google io are android fans and developers. half of them probably have a galaxy nexus already
and i bet some might have motorola xoom
so 2 galaxy nexuses might not be that useful
19. shadowcell posted on 27 Jun 2012, 14:54 0
A free Galaxy Nexus = profit to be made. Plus, as a developer it's severely convenient to have an extra on end just in case of brick or maybe wanting to have two builds installed.
25. OptimusOne posted on 27 Jun 2012, 16:38 0
you make a valid point but still its not as useful
you can usually restore it after a brick, hard bricks are pretty rare unless you flashed the unofficial ics update to gsII

My friend so couldve gone there but he doesnt give a crap about phones or anything related, and he lives in california, while im in pakistan :(
God i wish i had been there...
But we dont count as developers, do we? So we wouldnt get the gifts, would we?
26. valapsp posted on 27 Jun 2012, 16:52 0
The ticket was $900. C'mon you get 3 devices + a t-shirt. That was fairrrrrrrrr.

Man, Google really treats their developers well.
30. InspectorGadget80 posted on 27 Jun 2012, 20:12 0
Google i/o IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN APPLE greedy ticket for 1,200 or so
32. mercorp posted on 28 Jun 2012, 08:27 0
Why not give us the glasses instead,or a galaxy s3?
33. mercorp posted on 28 Jun 2012, 08:28 0
PA,please give away tickets for google IO 2013 next year.
35. robocopvn posted on 28 Jun 2012, 15:01 0
I guess 2013 Google Developer I/O tickets will be sold in 5 minutes :((. Paying $900, get 1 phone, 1 tablet, 1 home entertainment device, and the greatest thing is be able to attend the best event when everyone have to stay at home and watch lolz
