Unfortunately it's become Free Swag: The Conference. If they stopped giving assloads of devices away (last year they gave away a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook, and ostensibly a Nexus Q to everyone) it would probably be a better developer's conference.
The reason is self out so quickly is because people want the swag.
I won't lie, the swag is nice, but I'm also excited for the talks and hands on workshops. I mainly work in desktop development (I'm a software engineering researcher), but I've been getting heavily into Android development lately and want to dive deeper into that.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Sell me your T-Shirt.
Also, answer my question in the Chromebook thread. Please.
edit: Uh, sorry I saw now that you did. I still want the shirt. ;P

This sucks, I can't reserve my hotel room until the end of this month and by that time all the I/O discounted ones will be gone.

Flight and hotel booked! ^o^
Sessions and Agenda have been announced!
Some interesting points:
- There's only one keynote this year instead of two, and it's three hours long (with a break.)
- There's two WebM sessions (one for Chrome and VP9, and one for YouTube and VP8), so they're probably not going to kill it off. There's also a WebP session.
- Sessions that will be livestreamed have a dedicated Hangout icon.
- The Glass track and sessions are oddly hidden by default (as are the Ads, Wallet, Knowledge, and Tech Talk tracks.) It has four sessions scheduled for Day 2, with four more open gaps for possible surprise session announcements.

Hmm, they pushed it all to the second day... maybe they want developers to bring their own Glass... no Andrex, bad! Can't get hopes up...
Are they going to fuck up hardware support like they've done with VP8? CPU decoding isn't going to cut it if they want VP9 to have any sort of relevance.

I'd imagine VP9 hardware support is straightforward if you've done so for VP8. That said hopefully Glass is updated to support it soon.

Edit- Please ignore this post, it was an accidental bump. See thread here.
