With Jelly Bean, we took a hard look at search and redesigned it from the ground up.” A big call given what Google does in its day job! Makes life trickier for alternative launcher developers though. All this emphasis on doing stuff “without opening the app” is playing to Android’s core differentiators: customisation and home screens that look very different. Foursquare and a music app also get called out for in-pane actions. If someone shares a photo on Google+ now, for example, you’ll be able to +1 it and repost it all without going into the app. You can now just make a call from the notification pane for example, and you can also read your messages, emails and calendars from that pane too.


In Jelly Bean, notifications will apparently show you more informative and interactive notifications. Touch devices for the sight-impaired have always been tricky. Jelly Bean has improved support for Arabic and Hebrew, and 12 new input languages are being added including Hindi and Thai.Touch and swipe gestures are now supported in Jelly Bean for blind users, and it now supports external braille input and output devices connected via Bluetooth. It is a great area for Google to focus on - the need for a connection is a big restriction for Siri. “Words appear even though I don’t have a connection,” our demo guy says. No data connection required for voice typing now. Google has shrunk its voice recogniser to work on devices now. Forget a device that guesses what you’re trying to type right now, apparently it’s going to guess what word you’re going to type next. Though I bet Australian accents (and Scottish!) will still challenge it.

Much more excited to have offline for the voice dictation. Improving the keyboard is welcome, but I don’t think Swype et al will disappear just yet. An interesting heatmap of where Android gets activated. Note the growth from 100 million last year.

Start the clock: how long until Apple refutes that number? 1 million new devices are being activated every day according to Barra. We’re about to get all the numbers, I suspect. It looks slightly phallic, unfortunately. There’s something hidden under a sheet on a plinth. Not quite as hyped as a WWDC crowd, but people seem excited even though a lot are still filing in as the video starts. Somewhere in California, Kindle Fire execs’ brows are sweaty again We’re seeing the video for the Nexus 7 and pictures of something called the Nexus Q leak out already. It looks like Google is jumping the gun on its own announcements. That would please me, but I ain’t holding my breath. There has been a tendency at previous IO events for there to be a strong North American focus. I’d like it if we get hardware announcements that are actually global. We already know that the company is bringing the Nexus 7 to us today, but I want something awesome under the IO Christmas tree this year. Google is always good at pulling things out of left field.

So the thing I’m most looking forward to is hearing what’s in Jelly Bean, and whether Google has any tactics to deal with the trauma of update hell. “This live event will begin in a few moments.” Assuming Google’s live streaming holds up, IO is good to go. Good morning Googlers! We’re here enjoying the usual delay that accompanies big tech keynotes, and we’ll likely be getting underway shortly.
