[Open] Day 2: Win a registration invite for Google I/O!

[kierse]

My favourite announcement was day 1 of Google I/O 2012 when Android 4.1 and Google Now were announced. That day was relevant (to me at least) for two reasons: first, Android arguably came into it's own with version 4.x, and second, Google Now has proven to be wildly useful

As a developer, the more platforms there are out there, the more apps I can develop. This is why my favorite announcement from Google I/O was Google Glass. As a small child I always dreamed of having a head mounted display, and seeing that as a reality is really cool. If I do get to go to I/O I will be able to see where Google is going to take glass and how to prepare myself to create really amazing apps for it.

Definitely Google Glass. That was just awesome!

Love me some Google I/O!

Believe it or not the thing I got most excited about at a Google I/O was Google Wave. I really loved that demo and really do wish it would have replaced email.

io2010 Google tv was probably my favorite io announcement, bad implementation and hardware killed it, but I am hopeful they have it figured out.

Hard one... definitely the unveiling of Google Glass had the wow factor but as a proud Nexus 7 owner I'd have to go with that and new hardware announcements in general.

 

[Chris Trondsen]

My favorite announcement was Google play edition decides and Google glass.

 

[TimeHunter]

The announcement of the original Nexus 7 tablet. It has literally changed the tablet landscape, making the mark for future Android tablets and even moving Apple from their mountaintop to do something different.

 

[ScottJ]

My favorite was the Chromecast from last year as it was completely unexpected.

 

[benvyates]

Regardless of how it ended up, Google Wave from IO '09 was tops.

 

[rjmcnamara]

Google Play Music All Access. I already had my entire collection uploaded, so a single service that offered to fill in the blanks was a no-brainer -- especially for $8/month.

Runner up to Nexus 7 2013 -- it's my "daily driver"

Android at home. It hasn't eventuated with much yet, but little by little with purchases of companies like Nest etc. You know Google is working towards Home Automation and you know how long ago they were thinking about it.

 

[jeffreytz]

Google Glass was my favorite, not only for the product itself but the creative way it was introduced.

 

[Top Chamatsang]

Might sound crazy but I was really excited about the Nexus Q. I love the concept and how it could integrate to home audio systems (maybe that is a dying hobbby...) to allow for simple streaming via Android of my entire music collection in the cloud. I love what they have done with Google Play (and storing my music in the cloud) and I can only hope they revisit the Q in the future.

 

[Skyler P]

Definitely google glass!

 

[DRAZY]

My favorite announcement at Google I/O was the introduction of the Nexus 7.

 

[Juan Pablo Risso]

No doubt the announcement of Google Glass was amazing. Also, the Nexus 7 in that same presentation.

 

[atasteslikeChicken]

Definitely Android Studio.

I really enjoyed Larry Page talking after the Google Map update announcement. He sounded pretty beat from his health issues, but he talked about how we were really all in tech progression together, and that we could get past petty Apple vs Windows Phone vs Android arguments. I respect that.

I do like the (friendly) debate though.
