BTW, the JRebel for Android guys are apparently going to be at the expo. Their product does something that Android developer tools sorely need right now - real time development.

I'd normally think that it is just a sample phone image to show screenshots, but they're clearly showing a Nexus 9 for the tablet screenshot, which exists.

And a Nexus 6 for the phone images.

I still like my Nex4 but if those rumors about a new Nexus phone are true I'll probably get that as soon as I'll be able to buy ;_; Please be true
.
and affordable
I have found out, that people hate every update. Everything Google/Android/OEMs do, is the worst thing ever and they "make it worse with each update/product."

I love Lollipop. So much better than everything Android before it imho. Can't wait for what they come up with next.
Lollipop was/is pretty bug ridden. Play Services is getting real, real bad on battery life usage. People are starting to get a little pissed as they move from Kitkat. Hey, its understandable in some ways, y'know? Apps killing themselves in the background.
All I want from tomorrow, and I know we're not going to get it... is a new Nexus 5 from LG. Seriously. I mean, I've seen the leaks, but I think its probably not going to be shown tomorrow.
M seems to be coming in pretty hot too.

I feel like there will be a heavy emphasis on wearables and auto tomorrow. There was an Android Wear/Google Play Services update a while back allowing for your phone to connect to multiple Android Wear devices...I feel like that is a huge sign. Probably Glass 2.0 or some sort of VR/AR as well but it'll hook into your phone as a wearable device.
Timing also seems right for auto as a bunch of Android auto reviews just hit and it's part of the new Hyundai Sonata.
Other than that, I hope we get some concrete information on the Nexus program, some tidbits on Android M, and a surprise or two, perhaps related to Chromebooks.

Second year in a row that I didn't get selected to go; I said "fuck it" and took tomorrow and Friday off of work so I can "remotely" attend. I needed some time off anyway...I don't take enough. Will be nice to have a couple full days to work on my app and watch I/O. Though I'm afraid it will end up that I sleep in far too late and waste my time watching Hulu or something for two days.
Fingerprint integration and Android Pay are what I'm excited about. Anything to get payment tech moving forward, though Apple likely has a far bigger effect on that. Love the fingerprint reader on my iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6, so having it built into Android makes me excited that there will be GOOD readers in most future phones.

God yes. Asus-made Nexus 7 2015. I love my 2013 to bits, but it could do with a specs bump.
So true. As far as I'm concerned if you didn't use Donut/Eclair (or even earlier builds) you don't know what the worst thing ever is as far as Android is concerned. Lollipop is the slickest, most stable OS in the world compared to what I put up with when I got my first Android device.

New Moto 360 plz.
Damn it junior, you have the same avatar as me. I need to find a new one now.

Pretty sure if there's any hints of Moto 360 2, it won't be shown off in the keynote. Maybe a new Android Wear feature might sneak in that requires new hardware so it ends up being talked about at a long shot, but it's going to be mostly M.
Hoping to be proved wrong though. They've got until the end of I/O before I grab a G Watch R.

Its got to be the least hyped IO I have seen.
Maybe its in my head but I remember other Google IO events having generated much more anticipation.

Not really. I think there was some hype around one where Glass was relevant, but there's barely ever any pre-empt. At least none I've noticed.
I really doubt we'll see a new Nexus phone today, maybe a Nexus tablet if we are lucky.
I/O is developer conference, it'll be about software.
Yeah, it's awful on my GS5. Just look at some of the other threads on here. My phone is slow, it freezes, locks itself when I've just unlocked it, and worst of all, the texting app says that conversations aren't available periodically which requires me to restart my phone.

So where's the best place to watch the keynote?
That surely can't be a lollipop thing right? I've had 3 phones on lollipop and not encountered anything like that. Or any big issues for that matter.

Already then, I'll see you guys in 5 hours

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Sony watch is the best hardware, no doubt. NFC, GPS. No heart tracker but those are rubbish for real use.
Maybe, I'm not sure why though. They have a ton of neat stuff in development. The OP has a pretty formidable list and doesn't even touch on self-driving cars, Chrome OS, their work on robotics, Project Wing (drone delivery), Android TV or their life sciences division.
Ars Technica seems to have these things well covered looking at their previous liveblogs.

I just bought a Nexus 6 last week, so don't announce anything way better plz.
The recording usually goes up on YouTube afterwards.
They probably won't announce new Nexus devices until october ? Although current rumours (5" phone by LG, 6" phone by Huawei) are looking pretty good
They'll more than likely have 808 or 810 CPUs, so they couldn't be way better by default. Even the MediaTek isn't way better than an 805 and Intel phones are still eh. You're safe for another year!

This is the damn truth. It's incredibly annoying when hands down, Lollipop is the best android update ever.
I love Lollipop, but since they haven't fixed the memory bug yet, people with under 3GB of RAM have legitimate complaints. They mitigated it in 5.1, but I still need to reboot every few days or get a slightly sluggish phone with UI redraws coming out of the ass.
I don't normally flash dev previews, but I might make an exception for M if it has that one bug fixed. I'll take app crashes over the memory leak.

WAKELOCKS, WAKELOCKS, WAKELOCKS FOR EVERYONE!!!
Best update? Yeah..no, but in a few hours we'll all forget about it again, because Googy is gonna show us something new and shiny that's gonna come with even more newer shinier bugs. YAY!
