Google Glass was my favorite up to know, best still yet to come

Google Glass. Starting a new product category is always exciting!

My favorite announcement wasn't an announcement at all. It was 'The Demo.' The skydivers wearing glass doing a live hangout while the guys on top of moscone center beamed the wifis at them w/ the big handheld sattelite dishes. Then the big handoff to the bmx dudes who did the awesome backflips over the buildings etc to the guys who repelled down the side of the building and then came riding up into the keynote. That demo was just amazing, it could have gone wrong 18 different ways, but went off w/out a hitch, that was freaking impressive.

Google glass for me was a blow mind, actually changes everything, i told all my friends about it and show videos of glass back then, still i wish i had a google glass but in my county its not possible i would love have google glass for one day , that would be awesome, i had some ideas of glass apps, i made some in GDK but i wish some day i can make some for glass.
I really want a Google IO and see what glass its made it of,i want wear a glass and see what feels wearing it
i really really hope i can win a ticket

my favorite announcement was Google Glass. The live demo with Brian skydiving was exhilarating.

Google Glass was cool, though now I think the cool has now faded quite a bit. Too bad there don't seem to be many use cases as of yet.

 

[wgpeter]

I would have to say when and how they introduced Google Glass. Bringing it from the plane, skydiving then the Bike ride and repelling into Google IO. That was pretty sweet and one I don't think will be topped for a while.

It's a tough decision between Google Glass and Google Play Services: the Google Glass announcement was definitely exciting and awesome; but I started learning more about creating apps and developing on Android using Google Play Services.

My favorite announcement was Google Glass!

 

[Joe Sacher]

My favorite was 2011, when they announced all the features in iOS 8.

Best thing for me was the Android Studio announcement. We were planning on supporting some extra features that required separate builds. I was having nightmares on just how I'd go about doing this in Ant & Eclipse. Now with Gradle & Android Studio I have a total of 48 build flavours. 6 are production builds and the rest enable various debug options. Best thing both in terms of getting me excited during the announcement and looking back.

 

[plasticarmyman]

honestly, the best thing IMO that was announced was the Nexus Q. I think it was launched before it's time like so much tech seems to be. It was amazing, you could possibly use one single nexus Q to convert your whole home into a smarthome.

Would have to go with Google Play Services and how it's gone a long way to addressing fragmentation issue.

 

[androidmiko]

My favorite announcement from a previous Google I/O was Google Glass and the skydiving demo. No announcement from Apple can top this.

 

[TheSonicEmerald]

It was easily Sergey Brin's annoucement of Google Glass coupled with that epic LIVE skydiving. Seeing that LIVE even online was pretty awesome. The developer stuff is great, but that event really defined the culture that Google exhibits.

My favorite was Google Glass

 

[ALCentrAL]

A couple of IOs ago, demoing Google Glass while Skydiving, the BMX stunts, etc. That whole sequence was incredible! Cannot be topped IMO...

 

[True Knot]

My favorite was the official launch of android at Google IO 2008

Nexus Q. Shows you that Google can make big mistakes, and haven't yet fully understood the customer.
