Re: Google I/O 2013
#2What are the odds that Google can pull off an orderly registration this time? Considering prior years IO registration, and the recent Nexus 4 fun, I would say about nil.

#3The question is how long we have to wait until Google introduces a 'desktop' view of Android with multiple windows.
I'm saying later next year, but it could easily be at IO.
All the groundwork is there and there's little stopping Android being adopted as a 'real' OS.

#4Huh. I'll be starting an internship at the Mountain View office a few days after I/O. Will be interesting to see what the dynamic is coming down from the I/O high.

I would say that the biggest barrier to that is Chrome OS. Or, rather, where in the market Android stops and Chrome OS starts.

#6I don't see a point in releasing the dates 6 months before the event. I think we all know the approximate dates. It's not like you can block those dates and go out purchasing flights and hotel. Nothing is for sure until a pass is bought. And something tells me they are already sold out.
One thing I noticed is they released a hash #io13 to follow on Google+, may be they are just pushing us to use Google+.

My opinion regarding this is that Chrome OS is now ready to be ported to Android. All of Google's flagship devices now ship Chrome instead of 'Browser' and afaik Chromebooks are all ARM now (although Android is cross architecture)

I was an intern this past summer and it was pretty unique to see the event unfold from the inside.

#9It's great that the dates are known.
Indie devs can book flights and hotels to visit San Francisco regardless of whether they have an I/O ticket or not. If they don't get a ticket they can organise their week around other events e.g. work at coworking spaces, attend tech events, meet friends, some sight-seeing etc.
Companies could arrange a similar schedule for their employees. Just being in San Francisco to network and meet potential partners and clients is as valuable as attending I/O sessions.
An added bonus of knowing the dates early is that you can now plan your family vacation or company off-site without worrying about potentially missing out on a tech conference.

Do not book your flights yet. Remember Google IO 2012... they announced some dates, then a few months later they changed the dates of the event (shifted it a few weeks later). Be careful when you book flights until they officially put tickets on sale.

initially announced on Oct 17, 2011. Changed on November 28, 2011. Dates of the event shifted from April 24-25 to June 27-29, 2012.
