[Vanillalite]

Perfect analogy for me

 

[Toki767]

I think this keynote is basically over now.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

I find it really exciting actually. They're really making things easy for devs.

 

[kiguel182]

This is a developer conference. It will have things for developers.

 

[snacknuts]

Ficus Kirkpatrick is one of the most made-up-sounding names I've ever heard.

 

[imBask]

Original name there

 

[TheAbsolution]

WOAH, this is big.

 

[raphier]

This is a developer conference. It will have things for developers.

They speak like they're trying to sell the concept to plebs. they use buzzwords and all, like it matters.

 

[BahamutPT]

Downloading the Beta already, that was quick and easy.

My 6P is also downloading it now.

Instant Apps sounds amazing!

 

[Lnkn52]

Wow, impressive.

 

[Zaph]

"Let me be COMPLETELY honest"

 

[Chris R]

Why would I want to open the buzzfeed app when the buzzfeed website should work on my phone?

Ugh google not like this

 

[SRG01]

Oh what the... INSTANT APPS is spooky!

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is dope.

 

[Vic]

This has potential...

 

[imBask]

that's pretty cool

 

[Toki767]

Facebook is going to find some way to make their mobile site a battery drain like their app now.

 

[Hasney]

That's actually pretty cool.

 

[snacknuts]

What the heck version of Android is she running? Look at those nav buttons.

 

[……forgetit]

This is magic

 

[Mesousa]

This is brilliant

 

[Ensirius]

Holy shit!!

 

[Hasney]

What the heck version of Android is she running? Look at those nav buttons.

Oh shit. She's a Gingerbread fanatic.

 

[RoadHazard]

What Android version are they running? It has the pre-L navigation keys. Weird.

 

[Randdalf]

This isn't really that amazing when you consider what can already be done in a browser. It's basically a nicer native presentation of a web page.

 

[kagete]

Watch mobile ads get even more intrusive.

 

[KingSnake]

This is awesome.

 

[kiguel182]

This is pretty clever. Really cool stuff.

 

[BahamutPT]

OG Nexus 5 Wallpaper <3

 

[santi_yo]

This is game changing.

 

[panzone]

They speak like they're trying to sell the concept to plebs. they use buzzwords and all, like it matters.

Yeah, because a lot of "developers" don't buy buzzwords, right ?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yeah, uh...this seems kinda big. Very interesting.

 

[Asgaro]

Why are they showing KitKat?

It's KitKat exclusive, isn't it.

 

[Zaph]

Why would I want to open the buzzfeed app when the buzzfeed website should work on my phone?

Ugh google not like this

Yeah, I feel like this is going to be the next evolution of those annoying banners on websites urging you to view this page in their app.

 

[mrklaw]

Here is google AMP - loading pages 4x faster, using 10x less data.

Here is Google Instant Apps. Load a webpage but actually loads bits of apps using 10x the data.

It is cool though, especially for those apps you don't use often so you don't bother installing them. Good for the app developers and the experience could be better for consumers so it could improve their image of the associated brands.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Really, really, really cool. And I say that as an iPhone guy that doesn't care for Android.

 

[raphier]

Yeah, because a lot of "developers" don't buy buzzwords, right ?

It's more like for aspiring programmers rather than seasoned crowd. First year college. Apple level of marketing done here and nothing else.

 

[kiguel182]

"I don't have time to download the parking app!"

Such a Sillicon Valley problem.

 

[Bad_Boy]

No chirp

 

[Ensirius]

This is crazy.

 

[Lnkn52]

BOOM

 

[Hasney]

Oh shit, they did KitKat on purpose just to show it working and actually backdate an app.

 

[SRG01]

The mobile payments one is the biggest one, especially for the parking scenario they just showed.

 

[Toki767]

Compatible at Jelly Bean. Nice. That's like what, 90% of the Android userbase?

 

[Netherscourge]

Android will be using Vulcan as it's API?

Well, isn't that interesting...

 

[Kinitari]

No chirp

They showed Android home earlier.

 

[TheAbsolution]

All they way back to Jellybean? GODAMN.

 

[Hasney]

Compatible at Jelly Bean. Nice. That's like what, 90% of the Android userbase?

India loves their KitKat.

 

[Interfectum]

Instant Apps is pretty megaton for both devs and consumers.

 

[mrklaw]

"I don't have time to download the parking app!"

Such a Sillicon Valley problem.

there are tons of situations where an app is the best way to interact with something, but you can't be bothered to go and find the app and install it, because you don't use it that often.

And I bet nearly half the car parks in the UK have the ability to pay via phone app, so it isn't just a fancy silicon valley thing.
