I/O Recap: The open web moves forward, Froyo delights developers and TV meets Web

With over 5,000 developers, more than 90 sessions, over 180 companies in the Sandbox and a steady stream of major announcements, it’s been a busy two days at Google I/O here in San Francisco. For us, the best part of I/O was getting to meet and talk with developers and see all the amazing things you’re building. Getting to drive the Mondo Spider at the after party was pretty awesome too!

Vic Gundotra kicked off the Day 1 keynote which featured the future of the web with HTML5, WebM, the Chrome Web Store, Google App Engine for Business and much, much more. Read the full Day 1 keynote recap here or watch the full length video below:



Day 2 kicked off early with a keynote featuring Android 2.2 (code name: Froyo), sneak peeks into the future of Android, mobile app monetization, and the official announcement of Google TV. Here is the Android part of the Day 2 keynote, and we will update this post later when the Google TV segment is ready. (UPDATE: You can find the Google TV segment here.)



Many teams prepare their products to announce at Google I/O, so there were lots of announcements beyond the keynotes as well, including

• Google Storage for Developers
• Prediction API
• Web Font API
• Google Buzz API
• Latitude API, and
• Adsense for Ajax.

We have been blogging and tweeting non-stop, so feel free to read up on all the exciting new launches on our Code blog and @googleio Twitter feed.

To see live notes of the keynotes, see Matt Cutts’ Day 1 live wave and Day 2 live buzz. For live notes of all sessions, see the embedded waves on our session pages or go to the main Google I/O wave. Videos from all the I/O sessions will be posted soon to the Google Developers Channel on YouTube.

We’ll end with a photo slide show of some of our favorite moments from I/O:



Thanks to everyone for making the last couple of days so much fun! Hope to see you next year.
