[I/O 2014] Overview
-
Google I/O launched this morning with a really exciting Keynote. Among a few other things, Google announced a new design paradigm, the L version of android, 3 new niche android experiences, and a few small updates to current google products.
The message of I/O 2014 was dominantly unification beyond phones. Google is pushing for consistent UI, contextual awareness, and voice/gesture controls across every aspect of technology in your life. As you’ll see, each of the new products google is rolling out has a familiar design while still adapting to specific devices and use-case. Google’s ecosystem is rapidly expanding, and, unlike Microsoft, they seem to be doing it correctly.
This thread is mostly to coordinate by providing a table of contents and anything else that applies to all of my I/O threads. See each of the topics below for more info!
