Google I/O starts 25 Jun

Google’s biggest event of the year begins on Wednesday

Quote:

This year, expectations are high for Android, the phone operating system that’s taken the world by storm. It seems pretty clear that Google is looking beyond the phone, with plans to put it on your wrist, your TV, and in your car. But Android is just one of the many things Google works on. There’s Chrome, there’s search; there are web apps and internet-delivering balloons and mysterious plans to get humans to live forever.

There’s no way that Google can cram all of that into June 25th’s two-hour keynote, but the year’s biggest nerd party will nonetheless be an assault of new technologies and, hopefully, new products. Here are 11 things to watch out for at Google I/O this year.

It was a bit underwhelming I guess but Google Cardboard was interesting specially as it tweaks facebook nose for their purchase of Oculus Rift. With making your phone into a virtual reality headset for $5 why would anyone want to pay $300-$400 for an Oculus Rift.
Someone will probably come out with ready made phone holders in the next week or so that no need to make these yourselves

Now that I read more about the stuff at google io I have to amend my statement a bit about it being underwhelming. They didn't announce any new amazing device but the number of things they have announced for developers who the conference was it was a good first day.
I am interested in the cloud save api they announced. They mostly talked about syncing game position between different OS as well as devices. But reading apps could use this to provide a reading position sync between multiple devices and os. So you could read on your Ipad and continue it on your android phone. As well as syncing settings between different devices so the preferences that I set in one device the other devices could have the same without having to set them manually.
