Google I/O 2014 will kick off June 25 and run through June 26, Google has announced. It may two seasons away, but as Sundar Pichai noted on Google+, it's only 126 days till the mega dev conference kicks off, days that are sure to fly by. This is the seventh Google I/O and as always, interested parties will be able to attend in person (if they successfully register in time) or follow along via broadcasts beaming from of San Francisco's Moscone Center. More details are due next month, including registration info, Pichai said. Google's doing something different this year by allowing folks to submit their interest in attending I/O. Applicants who make the cut will then be randomly selected and notified of their admittance, so no need to scramble to meet the second registration deadline. What to expect from Google IO 2014 Though light on hardware, Google didn't leave consumers out in the cold during IO 2013. We saw a redesigned Google Maps take shape, Google Play Music All Access, and a full-court press on Google+ photos. We also went hands on with Google Glass and met the stock Android Samsung Galaxy S4. Though it's still early, some top contenders for Google IO 2014 include Android 5, an 8-inch Nexus 8 tablet, a Chromecast update and a deeper dive into the ear piece-wielding Google Glass 2. And with its recent pick-up of Nest, we'd put cold hard cash on Google spending some time talking about the home. Slightly more far flung but certainly within the realm of possibility, Mountain View may choose to unveil the rumored Google watch at the conference. As the company expands its focus to robotics and AI, we wouldn't be surprised if there is some very future-y flavor to this year's meet-up. Source
