Google I\/O 2014 was held at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, where the search giant announced its latest innovations.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year’s convention was more subdued. There were no Google Glass<\/span> skydiving stunts and some products like the Moto 360<\/span> watch are still veiled in darkness. That won’t matter to Android’s core audience. While some companies struggle to expand into new product categories, Google is moving watches, televisions, gaming set-top boxes and even cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what happened on the conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Android L <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Android L<\/span> is the newest version of Google’s iOS 8<\/span> rival and while it come with the flavorless L name, it’ll nonetheless be eaten up by the Android community. This version features performance and design optimizations of its billion-strong mobile operating system. First up, notifications are being incorporated into the lockscreen. No more having to unlock, swipe down and read. It’s all just right there. That same phone and tablet lockscreen will automatically unlock whenever you’re near it while wearing a Bluetooth-connected device. If it can’t detect you anymore, the screen will auto-lock as a safety precaution.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Android Wear <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Google’s smartwatch platform made its on-stage debut at Google IO with the company calling it a “new phase in miniaturization of technology.” The LG Watch<\/span> and newly announced Samsung Gear Live<\/span> are now available to order<\/span> in the US. Those lucky enough to be at Google IO will receive either watch and, eventually, the Moto 360.<\/span><\/p>\n

      For everyone else, the Moto 360 release date is stalled with a vague summer launch and still unspecified price.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Only now is it possible to make a powerful computer comfortable on the body all day long, according to Google. It’ll make your in-real-life conversations more comfortable too. That’s because Android users typically check their phone 125 times a day, according to Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Instead of getting out that increasingly large phablet like the Galaxy Note 3<\/span>, an Android Wear smartwatch on the wrist will quickly show you relevant information at a glance. Android Wear supports both circular and square-shaped displays.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Android Auto<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Even though driving and fumbling with a smartphone is unsafe and in many cases illegal, people still do it. That’s why Google is introducing a rival to Apple’s CarPlay<\/span>. Android Auto<\/span> casts Google’s smartphone experience to your car’s screen and supports steering wheel buttons, console dials and touchscreen. All of the apps are still running on the phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Android TV<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          We already knew Google intended to rebranded its Google TV platform to Android TV, but the I\/O conference was the first time we saw it demoed on stage with new features.<\/span><\/p>\n

          The smoother scrolling experience of the user interface is coupled with new voice search capabilities. It goes beyond searching for movie titles and TV shows like the Amazon Fire TV<\/span>. The new TV platform is coming this fall and has television manufacturers including Sony, Sharp and Philips are already on board.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Chromecast <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Chromecast<\/span> wasn’t left out in the wake of Android TV’s Google IO debut. The inexpensive app-streaming dongle is officially getting Chromecast mirroring<\/span> of Android devices. To prove that anything on your smartphone or tablet can be put up on the big screen, Chromecast<\/span> was used to mirror the Android camera app, something that typically you wouldn’t want to mirror.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Google I\/O didn’t have very many surprise announcements. It was a more developer-focused Google IO, but the conference did successfully show how the company is trying to tie all of its endeavours together.<\/span><\/p>\n
