Google I/O 2013


My personal highlights for Google I/O 2013. Not everything, just the things I personally liked :)

Google games

New cloud saves for games and online live multiplayer. The demo failed but it might just be because of the excessive WiFi usage there.

Google play music

Now you can have a subscription service to their entire catalog in addition to your personal library. It is 9.99/month however if you sign up for the 1 month free trial before June 30th you get a price of 7.99/Month.

Galaxy S4 running stock android

Will be available for $650 and comes boot loader unlocked and carrier unlocked with stock android. It will get updates pushed to it right away. It also supports AT&T LTE and T-Mobile.
I am sort of upset I bought my carrier locked S4 from AT&T, however if they unlock the boot loader porting stock android should be really easy.

New Hangout
New and improved chat program supporting text, photos and video chat.

Photos
Now instead of 5GB of full size photo storage you have 15GB!

Improved auto-enhance for photos
- Noise reduction and structure enhancements. Good stuff that it does automatically :)

Now if you take burst shots they will "gif"t it to you lol. Auto-gifs

If you take several portraits they will put the faces together for an "ideal" photo.



This is not all of I/O. Just some thought of what has been discussed so far.
