Some people have jobs and can't watch the live stream at work.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So is todays keynote the main one with nexus tablet and jellybean and all that. Or is that tomorrows?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

^ I don't know what's being put in what keynote but I would think the longer one is Android and the second-day one is Chrome. Could be wrong though.

Also the first keynote is tomorrow, June 27 at 12:30pm EST.

Pills?

We're all addicted to Android.

This. Plus I could "Watch" but can hear, since I don't want people to know what I'm watching.

You just need a cool techy job. I watched Microsoft's E3 keynote at my last job and it was fine.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Yeah it's not like it's porn or something

Not everyone has the same job as you sir.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Neither do I, anymore lol.

 

[SimleuqiR]

Yeah it's not like it's porn or something

Though no one can see what I'm watching, I have upper management pop in my office at any given time (many times during the day) - I don't think they would like me to seat and watch a one+ hour keynote.

 

[brotkasten]

Yeah it's not like it's porn or something

I'm sure it is for some.

And Jelly Beans are up!

Sweet! Can't wait to play around with it in the SDK/emulator. Here's Ars's liveblog

I wonder if the Nexus S will get 4.1



Might be time to move to a custom ROM just in case.

Its about time I learn how that works anyway.

 

[SimleuqiR]

I'm sure it is for some.

Only Steve Jobs got me hard.

Supposedly there are other uses for nfc, but yeah, you'd have to be on WiFi first.

They'll need to justify putting nfc into a WiFi tablet in order to deflect questions about why they didn't trade nfc for sd slot or rear camera.

I was talking specifically about Google Wallet support. Who the hell is going to take out their tablet, CONNECT TO THE WIFI, and then bump it against the NFC scanner at the register to pay? I will throw a fit if I see someone wasting 5 minutes in front of me doing that.

And were some of you seriously complaining about the GS3 capacitive keys fading out when not in use? Not sure if it was serious or sarcasm....

You don't need a data connection to pay with the wallet, only to provision and initialize it. The data connection then synchronizes the information when you connect again. Your card information is on the secure element. The transaction happens on the merchants end, not yours.

really hope they bring this natively to jellybean (I would pick up the Nexus 7 Tablet in a heartbeat Day 1)

http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/

multiple re sizable window for all apps

hope it's on phones and tablets that are 1280x720

would be awesome even though apps like stick it and overskreen does something like this already.

it's just the next logical step in multitasking

Depends on how many hours it takes you to read the OP.

Android app says..21 hours and 5 minutes.

Ah ok. I hope devs get it working for my AT&T Galaxy S2 then. I don't have data and always thought that was why I would never be able to use GWallet. I still think it will be awkward using a tablet to NFC a payment at the register.

the clocks in the OP are accurate when you view them. so there is...

[kehs]

Probably the same way a keyboard only works on one text field at a time in windows.

 

[Emily Chu]

like it does on windows ?

the highlighted one goes back ?

 

[Futureman]

I assume there's an active window, right?

Loving ICS, just got an LTE Nexus the other day. Can't wait to see JB. FINGERS crossed JB on ALL Nexus varieties tomorrow (yea right).

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Depending on the popularity of stuff like Chameleon, 5.0 may introduce split windows, but 4.1 almost definitely won't.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What's in this version:
* NEW! Receive push updates to announcements and the conference schedule from the Google I/O team
* NEW! View full conference agenda
* NEW! Watch I/O Live streams on Google TV
* Fixes a crash on small screen devices
* Fixes several synchronization and Google Calendar integration issues
* Fixes missing logo images for developer sandbox companies
* Improves spacetime decompression algorithms; 29 total hours per day are now available to Google I/O attendees within Moscone West

 

[kehs]

So if they're gonna be pushing JB source code soon, I can't see them doing another major release of code later this year. That'd be less than six months in between, which they said they would move away from.

No new nexus later this year maybe?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

They said they'd move away from it but Google rarely changes like that. I believe 5.0 will hit later this year with the next flagship Nexus phone.

 

[3phemeral]

I really do like the idea of Chameleon, so I'm super curious about how well it'll work in practice.

 

[SimleuqiR]

 

[RobotChant]

*slow clap

iirc Att disabled NFC for the S2. There is a work around that re enabled it (ICS roms have nfc enabled by default), but the S2 lacks an embedded secure element which makes it incompatible with Gwallet.

 

[kehs]

It so weird, it looks unfinished. It needs a packaging label or some sort. I can only expect there to be jokes about how filled with variety Jelly Bean is.

So do you feel Jelly Bean is just going to be an incremental/stop gap update sort of ICS/Jelly Bean Froyo/GB until 5.0?

 

[Technosteve]

When is googy going to drop the bomb, might buy a high quality 7 inch tablet if it's only 199

 

[Zeppu]

Tomorrow, most probably.

 

[brotkasten]

They're certainly not under pressure from Apple or Microsoft.

 

[3phemeral]

Ah, so much better than that toppled-over jar.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

So do you feel Jelly Bean is just going to be an incremental/stop gap update sort of ICS/Jelly Bean Froyo/GB until 5.0?

Yeah. I think the big feature of stock 4.1 might be Google handling the updates. A huge, huge feature to us geeks but not really a glamour feature worthy of a full version bump.

Jellybean is practically confirmed to be 4.1 so I think they're probably holding back (the original idea for the sweets-named releases was so they could develop features in parallel without necessarily assigning a version to it.)

That countdown clock ain't viewable on my iPhone sorry. But thanks.

 

[Technosteve]

ICS isn't even the most popular android release and the only way they can iterate and have significatant people on the newest release is to do a 1.0 release every two years

 

[Dead Prince]

it'll represent the state of jelly bean when it is released.

Yeah, JB will probably be a refinement of ICS, much like how GB was a refinement of Froyo.
