BBC MUNDO RADIO
The event was full of announcements, including big pieces of Android news, updates on Google TV, announcements for the super-slick Chromebook, and perhaps most significant of all, the official launch of Google Music.
And it wasn’t all consumer app news. Believe it or not, this developer conference also brought actual news for developers, too. We’ll wrap it all up for you right here:
Google Music Launched
What you need to know: Google’s music service lets you upload any music files you have — including iTunes libraries and playlists — to the cloud. You can access, organize, and play your tunes from any connected device, including computers, tablets and mobiles. Best of all, tunes are automatically synced any time you add new songs on the desktop.
But you can’t buy music through Google Music — not yet, at least. And you can only get an invite from Google directly, so don’t click on any spammy links you see out there on the web claiming to “give away” Google Music Beta invites.
Chromebooks Are Coming
What you need to know: Google Chromebooks, elegant little netbooks that run Chrome OS, are becoming commercially available beginning June 15. Samsung and Acer will be the first companies to manufacture the devices.
Google TV’s Getting More Apps
What you need to know: Google TVs will be getting access to the full Android Market — as well as Honeycomb 3.1 — this summer. New apps might mean better PR for a product some say is in a slump.
A New Version of Honeycomb
What you need to know: Google is rolling out a new version of Honeycomb, its tablet OS. Android 3.1 upgrades will start with Motorola Xoom customers now and will be coming to Google TV this summer. The OS is bringing new, expandable widgets as well as support for USB peripherals, including cameras, joysticks, etc.
The Newest Android OS: Ice Cream Sandwich
What you need to know: Android 4.0 will be Ice Cream Sandwich, and it will close the 2.X/3.X fork. Ice Cream Sandwich will run on all kinds of devices, including tablets, mobile phones and more. Google is hoping this will patch the OS’s overarching fragmentation issues.
Goodies for Developers
What you need to know: App Engine is coming out of preview. Version 1.5.0 will bring Backend support and a fast-compiling runtime for Go, Google’s homebrewed programming language. The company also rolled out a Google Plugin for Eclipse.
Android@Home Does Home Automation
What you need to know: Google announced the all-new Android@Home framework, a set of protocols for controlling light switches, alarm clocks and other home appliances through any Android device.
Google Movies for Android
What you need to know: Google Movies for Android is an all-new app that allows users to rent and play movies on their tablets or phones.
