Sundar Pichai, who is the VP of Google Products & Executive in charge of Chrome & Android development has announced Google I/O for June 25th and 26th. The Google I/O event is scheduled to be organized just like it was last year at Moscone West of San Francisco, reports techtrends.
Unlike MacWorld or CES trade shows, those with registrations will be selected by a draw on a date close to early April.
This year's activities will focus on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, the most recent OS released by Android last October. The most recent HTC flgaship smartphone M8 hosts the KitKat, while other smartphone heavyweights like the Samsung Note 3, Galaxy S4, Nexus and LG among others are in the processing to the latest OS in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Google I/O topics will include Google Glass, which is touted for release by the end of the year. The delay might be due to the recent unveiling of Android Wear, which is Google's smartwatch collection competing with Sony's smartwatch, and Samsung Gear 2, and 2 Neo along with the anticipated iWatch, which might launch with the iPhone 5.
Google's Language Dart, similar to JavaScript has been an intense focus of the Mountainview firm since a year and Google watchers expect a rendering of the Dart at the Google event as well.
However, there is some skepticism behind Google Glass since the early appreciation for the head-worn wearable tech seems to have taken a turn for the worse. In particular, reports indicate that many private organizations are not pleased with Glass since it waves negative attention to the wearer and could end up with unfavorable consequences when dealing with a client. Other execs have expressed concern over users to engage in cheating, stealing or tricking other clients.
According to gambling site https://www.thecasinocity.com/casino/, Google Glass is officially banned from casinos, cinemas and strip-clubs in the U.S., due to privacy and confidentiality concerns.
In reality, there is no proof regarding a player's ability to cheat at a casino table. Nonetheless, casino owners are taking the precaution of banning the head wearable in their game stalls.
In general, electronic gadgets are frowned upon at casinos since such establishments prohibit filming or photographing. And while wearing Google Glass, there's no trigger for taking pictures so even video cameras would not be able to determine if a Glass user was photographing at a casino table.
In Atlantic City and Las Vegas, digital spectacles are not allowed near casino games and casinos.
Several other gambling establishments including Casinos in Cincinnati , Cleveland among others have prohibited Google Glass on their sites.
Google’s infamous digital glasses is restricted from use at theaters and strip-clubs. Seattle is also joining the bandwagon to a ban on Glass, citing client privacy concerns.
