What Google hasn't revealed at I / O 2014
The main show of the big Google event has passed and we have Android TV, Android Auto and a new Android version. But besides, if you remember, many previous rumors have not been revealed. Here's what Google hasn't announced at Google I / O 2014.
New version of Google Glass
Prior to the I / O event, Google Glass suddenly launched an upgraded version with 2GB of RAM. Many people expected Google to announce new things to Glass at the event but that didn't happen.
This $ 1500 glasses is still in development, perhaps Google has its own plan and will announce it this year.
Youtube Music
A YouTube-based online music service has been leaked for a long time, but during the event, we didn't hear about it. Currently big services are blooming online music like Amazon or recently Apple, so this is quite a pity for Google.
Android Silver
A few months ago, we heard rumors about the Nexus line being killed to replace it with Android Silver, Google's new program that provides standards for hardware manufacturers. Although Google does not say anything about this program, if you cleverly rearrange the pieces you will see this happening.
By launching " L ", Google is gradually leaving its reliance on Nexus and bringing its original Android strategy to manufacturers in the form of Google Play Edition. In addition, we have Android One, many people predict it will bring a different look to Android cheap ( under 100 USD ) with standard hardware and smooth experience.
New hardware
Google did not introduce any phone or tablet device at the I / O, unlike traditional at previous events. Instead we have some other smart watch devices.
It seems that Google feels quite enough with Android phones or tablets and it is time for them to switch to smart wearable devices. Hopefully Google will create new thrust for their device this year.
New name for Android version
Google has " rolled the ball " by announcing a new version of Android L , followed by a series of changes in the interface, design language, . But they haven't revealed what its name is, much who thought it was called Lollipop and the number was 5.0. Until they announce the name, maybe we will continue to call Android "L".
Smart home
Google has acquired Nest as well as Dropcam to invest in a potential future service: Smart Home. Apple was about to prepare for this when they launched their solution at WWDC. Besides, Google has many plans to put ads in household devices, so the absence of SmartHome at I / O is also a confusing thing.
Project Tango
The device has the ability to scan to create a map that is a strong impression. Google previously announced Tango and moved to many developers. Tango does not appear at I / O but many people are still quietly developing it, hoping we will see results soon.
Phone chart: Project Ara
The partially removable phone, Project Ara , is one of the " toys " that Google has released this year but again, they didn't reveal anything about it at the I / O. Turning smartphones into assemblies is a creative but challenging idea, Google shows that they are serious about launching this device.
We will need to continue waiting to see what Google will do with this device.
Hangouts, Google Voice, Google+ services
Google Voice and Hangouts were not mentioned at I / O, which is confusing for many people as they are expecting Google to announce a new upgrade that will help Hangouts work with Google Voice to become the most powerful chat. compete with other OTT services.
The Google+ social network once thought to be a Facebook killer is not mentioned here. So maybe Google+ will be nothing new, at least at this time.
Google I / O has not finished yet, it is just beginning. Many programmers are present at the event to chat on the sidelines, so let's wait and see what information is revealed in the future.
