Supposedly play store in chromeos is a thing. Google just didn't talk about it

Lol at that keynote. Glad my expectations were low. I always leave Google events more confused. What's coming when. What's replacing what. What's real and what's coming way in the future. Etc.

Their pacing is all off at i/o cause they try to juggle to much shit.
They do better at the Nexus event.

Unless it doesn't have the dynamic theme that changes per app. I love that feature.

So would these be their first Android devices with Google services, or have I just been out of the loop all this time?

The session was great. I am so looking forward to getting a new Nexus device this year. The improvements is really a lot of the stuff I've personally wanted.
Smoother. check
Dumb security updates done in the background and out of the way. check
Android is upgrading screen is gone. check
App sizes getting smaller. check
Super refined.
There will be a battery management session in about 2hrs and 10 min. I know ALL you guys better watch that shit. Always asking for more mAh and shit. But what it really comes down too is software optimizations.
I think the phone they just came out with has Google Play services. I know they are a chinese company so I don't know about their older devices. I don't really pay attention to Xiaomi

so confusing, christ. I guess I'll keep using hangouts because there is a chrome/web app.

I don't use Hangouts at all, so I'll give Allo (and maybe Duo) a shot when it's out. The built-in chatbot/Google search functionality looks really dope.
Cool, thanks.

announcements were not very exciting at all.

WTF Google announced Family app sharing
Mother fucking Google... Sundar you are the stupidest person for leaving out all of the shit people might want to know about and instead spent 40 mins talking about Allo and your Cam2Cam sex appeal.

the crux of the matter is google comes off as a company that doesn't have a singular vision. They have no one in charge of the big picture it seems. Just a shitton of different teams doing different things for their own agendas. Sometimes the users benefit, sometimes they don't, usually it's just a mess.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Google had exciting announcements.
Instead they spent 45 mins talking about yet another messenger app and some knock knock who's there cam2cam video app.

I love how they announced Spaces, and then basically ignored it all conference. (Yes I get individual session stuff is gonna use it).

Which thread is the one to post in?
Yep, go to the Google Now settings click Voice, then "Ok Google" detection, always on.

looks like on the new N preview if you have a custom launcher your lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change. if you change your wallpaper on the default Google launcher it asks if you want to set it on both lockscreen and homescreen

Need N impressions on 6P.
I don't understand why they'd announce Allo if they won't release it immediately. What's the point?
Called the new messenger app. It is so Google to release more and more messengers.
No new smaller tablet

Android N Developer Preview is available for the Xperia Z3 if anybody owns one. Pretty surprised to see Sony pushing out something like that. Kind of makes me wish the Z3 I bought earlier this year wasn't defective.
Does look nice. And good to see endtoend encryption in there for people who feel the need.
Though it just reminds me of how sad I'll be when sms dies. We're not going to get another open standard like sms and email that everyone supports are we. Just 3 billion silos and we're supposed to keep track of what people use what.
Really want Google Home now.
Hmm doesn't seem to be working for me when the screen is off.
OK another note, I like the Google Keyboard but I hate when typing in a search, the predetermined text box doesn't show up.
Hmm, maybe it doesn't work with every phone idk, I have a Nexus 6p.
