    I/O is at heart a Developer conference, just like the WWDC. They did announce two new Smartwatchs though.

    I'll admit I expected the HTC tablet to be announced as it is a Nexus one, but ah well.

    Well that's it!

    No new Nexus tablets.

    They announced Android Auto, Android TV and of course Android Wear to name a few.

    What are you most excited about?

    I'm not really sure what I think of the new design to be honest.

    At one stage one of the presenters' tablet was running Android Jelly Bean!

    Anyone see the random girl in the middle making faces or the guy saying something about robots killing people near the end?

    Great event Google! :)

    TV and mainly car. I would definitely be looking for the car stereo thingy. Watches not so much. Already have a Chromecast so not too pushed on TV. Where's my new tablet? And it's looking like the one plus one for me if they get their act together.

    Wasn't expecting any phones or tablets, but I was hoping for more on the 360. Absolutely no interest in the two announced.

    It's not a known brand, it's for third world countries, to get like a Nexus Device experience for minimal cost.

    Sundar said that it's an Indian exclusive at the minute.

    No they didn't, I'm sure it will be in a couple months at the new tablet launch. BTW I dont think Google "sold" the naming rights to android for KitKat.

    Here's hoping for ladyfingers or as a lad in work said maybe "LIGA"

    maybe they didnt sell it, but it was a cross brand tie-up thingy. promotion for nestle and google. it was key-lime pie up until the last minute.

    No proper name for L too which is disappointing.

    Also I think 2 of the presenters were Irish!

    One had to have been from the North given the way he said Now like Nyow.

    Then the guy demo'ing the Android TV sounded like he was from Dublin 4 and then he failed at the basketball game and blamed it on being Irish! :pac:
