Project Loom is a great idea, I have to say.

Was that ever even a possibility?

Best I/O in a long time. I loved everything shown today. I will expand more later after I've calm down from the hype.

I was hoping for a new Chromecast too.

No new hardware announcements. I was hoping for a new N5 :/

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
All those people that paid huge cash just to go thinking they'd get it back in free shit just got played lmfaooooo
I thought Youtube Live was their competitor? I mean it's up now and in Hangouts, it looks like they are rolling out Hangouts on Air which is essentially Youtube Live which is twitch. There's just no push for it.

Hopefully they never listen to you or others with similar opinions.

Yes unless you really want to wait and get a phone 6 months from now.
That's the rumor.
No because it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor.

It's what I'm going for.
It's just as disappointing today as it was yesterday, so sure.
Why? Them pushing developments in 360 video is going to benefit everyone in the VR space.
It also doesn't have a can opener. Somehow I will manage.

Thing is, the cheap, easy alternatives to expensive projects will always be jokes among enthusiasts. Doesn't make them bad ideas.

I'm assuming Google Maps Enhanced Offline is not M exclusive?
Unless there is a massive spec bump from lollipop I don't why not.
Internet forums?
Cardboard still requires a 300-400 phone. It's not feasible for a classroom to buy a bunch of these under the premise that "it's cheap", and the tech crowd doesn't give two shits about poor man's VR.

sad that the best presenter was stuck with the worst announcements. VR lol
Well he works in this dept. so you can't expect him to talk about Now or Android API's.
Yeah it really sucks there's no market for it outside of classrooms and tech enthusiasts
I swear to god, every year this thread gets hundreds of flyby posts saying that this keynote is boring and expecting major announcements.
Like, it's a keynote for developers. It's not a hype event for you. It's a way for Google to tell their developers what tools and features they can start using and developing
Ugh.
Overall, I enjoyed the conference and am looking forward to offline maps and android M the most.

I don't even know what this means.
What I was asking was "will a better phone come out this year at this point"
They could be donated to schools. I think Cardboard VR is an entry point with very little risk on the consumer, Google, or hardware makers. The ideas and products can be applied to the higher end of the spectrum and in the end everyone wins.
I'd expect the Nexus 2015 will include improvements from Android M out of the box.
No confirmation on that, so we don't know.
Obviously yes. There will always be something new coming. But since some beefy hardware changes have been made with Android M, I would suggest you to wait. Usb type C + Finger print scanner is a big thing. Nexus device will be launched with that.

Type-C is the type of USB. USB 3.0/3.1 speeds and it's reversible.
Maybe new Nexus phones in November-ish, but that would be it. So it would basically be down to Z4, G4 and S6 till then.
Why obviously? It's June, aren't most phones coming out in a given year announced by now?
