Google I/O - Christmas comes early...

Google hosts their annual developer conference ‘I/O’ at this time of the year and the latest event was yet another festival of goodies for gadget fans, technology freaks and IT professionals.




The list of revelations included:

- Long awaited first products sporting Chrome OS – Google’s own operating system.

- Google @ Home – a home automation system utilising Android at its core

- Ice-cream Sandwich – the next iteration of the Android mobile operating system

- Honeycomb 3.1 – a swift update to the just released Android version for tablets

- Google Music – cloud storage and streaming of 20,000 of your own home to a multitude of devices (initially at least).

- Google TV reboot – a new push for their tv integration system.

Perhaps most intriguing is their Chrome OS rental approach detailed in the video below:



Either way it made for happy days for Google fans and an intriguing few months of releases...
