Title: Google I/O 2010 Keynote
Post by: dystopia on May 20, 2010, 09:21:32 AM
I'm at the Google I/O conference right now.  They already gave us free droids. (I already had 2 droids before that)

They just announced they're giving all attendees the sweet Sprint HTC EVO 4G phone too.  [sm_shock] 
EVO 4G! [sm_shock]

What about a freaking built-in video player (i.e. for playing your own MP4 for FLV files--not just streamed YouTube videos)?  [sm_cussing]

Nice.  Google TV going to be open sourced.

They demoed a neat Android app on Google TV grabbing the close captioning and sending it to google translate and getting translated closed captioning.

Yow.  Heavyweight CEOs on stage now for this.  Intel, Sony, Logitech, Dish, Best Buy, Adobe, Google CEOs.

Launches in fall for Christmas buying.

Actually, I've seen a lot of iPads around.  And a huge number of devs here use macbooks.

As for me, (during the conference) I'm packing a Nexus One and Droid in the pant pockets and the iPhone is in the backpack. (for impromptu demos)

Sorry.  I just sold one droid and am going to give one to the wife.  The new EVO 4G now demotes my Nexus One, though.  Maybe I'll put Windows on it...


Nexus One runs Windows 3.11
