Google I/O 2012 Keynote Liveblog

posted by Ray S. / Jun 27, 2012, 10:58 AM

Want to know what's going on at Google I/O's opening keynote and be among the first to know about the new announcements? Then you're a true Google fan, and deserve a liveblog! We're giving you just that. It's now pretty much official that we'll finally see Jelly Bean - the latest Android iteration, but what's even more interesting is the Nexus tablet that's also expected to be unveiled. The tablet will probably be produced in tight partnership between Google and Asus, and, to tell you the truth, we can't wait to see if all the rumors about a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and a game-changing price tag of $199 will turn out true.

Tune in your Chromes to PhoneArena.com a few minutes before 9:30AM Pacific | 11:30AM Central | 12:30PM Eastern | 6:30PM Central Europan time, to make sure that you don't miss a thing from Google I/O 2012!

13:47	Bringing your this amazing live-blog experience was me - Ray. See ya fellas! :))
13:46	Aaand that's a wrap, guys. Thanks for being with us. Don't forget that we have some cool I/O coverage coming, so stay tuned to PhoneArena!
13:44	Google is one generous company.
13:43	I should have listened to my mom when she said I should become a programmer...
13:42	"Android Developer Pack" for all 6000 attendees: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean, and Nexus Q.
13:41	They will be doing their first Google Plus event tonight, starring the Google I/O attendees.
13:39	Hey guys, how does that sound to you: "iGlass"? Just kidding!
13:38	A new video rolling, this time about the beauties of Google Plus.
13:38
13:37	Sergey apologizes to Vic for interrupting his beautiful Google+ presentation.
13:36	Devs seem a bit saddened.
13:36	Here's the price for the Project Glass Explorer Edition - $1500
13:35	Google Glass Explorer Edition - Developer pre-order for US-based IO attendees is now announced. Not a consumer product yet.
13:34
13:32
13:32	It's a mom, wearing a semi-stylish white Project Glass, taking pics of her baby.
13:32	They are rolling a video about Glass. Another one of those videos...
13:31	If you are at a place, and want to know more (or anything) about it, without detaching from the environment, Project Glass will be suitable.
13:30	Glass will also let you access information on the web... some day.
13:29
13:27	We really hope this isn't all that Glass is about.
13:27	,,,But they are still far from achieving their goal. They are almost entirely concentrating on the 1st person photo-taking feature.
13:26	They are trying to convince us that it's actually perfectly fine to wear this device on your head all the time...
13:24	But everything went fine in the end. By the way, Project Glass will be connected to the net via various radios.
13:23	In case you're wondering, her speech isn't going very smooth.
13:23
13:22	The latest Glass prototype weighs less than "many sunglasses".
13:22
13:21
13:19
13:19	There's a touchpad on the side, a powerful processor, storage, mic, speaker, gyroscope, compass...
13:18
13:18	One of the Glass designers is now on stage to talk a bit about the Glass.
13:17	The skydivers are also in. It's like the ending of an epic action movie.
13:15	It was an epic demo.
13:15
13:15	And they are in the hall! Crazy round of applause!
13:15
13:14	The bikers are also wearing Project Glass, so it was cool watching the guy drive and do some tricks.
13:14	A few bikers will bring the skydivers to the hall, because the roof is quite big.
13:13
13:13	Yeah, they landed on the roof of Moscone Center.
13:12
13:12	When was that Project Glass coming out again?
13:11
13:11	They jumped! We're looking at live video from the free falling...
13:11	They seem a bit hesitant about the jump...
13:10
13:10	They'll jump, stream the video of the jump through Project Glass, and eventually come here in Moscone. WOW!
13:09	They are capturing the video from Project Glass. Looks like those guys will be jumping from the plane...

Speech recognition in offline = death so Siri, since the response on Siri is not instant due to network speed. :D

Project Butter = new BOSS of mobile OS's at this point its a "no brainer" who's the best or more advanced... if you like iOS nothing is wrong with that... but trying to compare it to android just aint a fair argument anymore...lol Damn Google stepped their game up! lol

28. biophone

If you say so

yes i DO say so... its a change of guard in a sense... like Magic Johnson handing the basketball crown to Michael Jordan... iOS will always be legendary... but at this point in the game android has surpassed it... and now that its OS will be a much smoother and optimized experience it kinda kills the "lag" argument... not saying its worth selling an iphone/ipad to switch over but you have to recognize that this young OS is leading the pack... i have no problems giving it props just by seeing what jelly bean is offering...

Mad props to jellybean its a great OS I hope all android users enjoy it fully. This is more of a Lebron and Durant situation. The two best dueling it out each trying to one up each other.
