you are here, already arrived, another year of I / O . The big day does Google, Alphabet? again, as every May to open its developer event, and incidentally announce several releases and projects
Android
for the first time in a long time, we reached the I / O hardly mystery of what will the next version of Android, as Android N is among us in the form of preview for developers.
That preview does not make us lose hope to see developments interesting
in the preview , and subsequent updates, we saw a veneer of what will be Android N once the final version to the terminals arrives: multiventana split screen, center vitaminado notifications, night mode or Vulkan, the new API heiress OpenGL ES to optimize gaming performance with increased demand for graphics.
of course, not just phones and tablets live Android. Hopefully they get news of a Android Wear as last update was in February, and although it came to significantly improve the way we use our clock, is still expected something more than Android Wear a next big step for the second anniversary of the platform. Other routes as Android TV simply no signs, all you can get is a surprise in every way.
The future of Chrome OS
Chrome OS was born as a great idea that allowed milestones such as, for example, sell Chromebooks to $ 99 for the education sector. Lately, with attractive rarities like the Pixel C, it has consolidated the idea that Google prepares laptops first. The problem is that the operating system hardly justify certain prices, however well it is your screen or its design.
The latest moves point to the union of Chrome OS with Android, probably in order to give a emoujón prestige and sales platform, which has begun to stay in no man’s land.
virtual Reality without cardboard
to be honest, what made Google with Cardboard is very valuable to the extent that opened the ban on a cheap and almost universal solution for anyone could virtual reality experience. And being honest, is logical to expect that Google goes beyond a die-cut cardboard to put their flag in the virtual reality .
In recent times we have seen more and more proposals, more and more complete. HTC, Facebook / Oculus, Samsung, Microsoft, Sony. Many great really worried, making efforts to position there. Google did something interesting with Cardboard but needs more, both hardware and software especially, in order to get into the fight. In its favor is to have the most used operating system in the world.
Trivia
-
Project Ara . We took a lot more time listening about him seeing advances in modular smartphone sheltered by Google, anchored in a delay after another. The last time you had a deadline was to hit the market in January 2015 for about $ 50. Eighteen months later …
-
Project Tango . It is assumed that the first terminal of this project is one of Lenovo, which will be announced on June 9. We could have news about it, the more information the project, or teaser what would take three weeks to see the light.

YouTube , which has devastated entire online video (only Facebook could toserle), has gone beyond services such as Network or Music, but it is rumored the next: Unplugged , pay TV Internet response to traditional cable, going beyond the Netflix model. The report points to a monthly service for $ 35, and naturally limited to the United States indefinitely. The launch, around 2017. Will we see an advance?
-
Android Auto . Having reached the level of technology integration we have with new vehicles are coming to market, and seeing how car manufacturers have come a long way in a short time for their cockpits not disappoint a generation hungry for connectivity anytime and anywhere instead, it would not be surprising to see developments in the adaptation of Android to the car. At the end of the day, Google has enough capacity to move one point ahead of the manufacturers in this regard.
-
Integrated Messaging? the rumor mill pointed to an app with which to try to rescue the best of the past experiences of Google, Hangouts around and try again learning from mistakes and bad decisions. Seeing the recent launch of Google Spaces, it makes no sense to think of another new tool.
