Google released Android 3.1 OS and Music Beta at the opening day of Google I/O Developer Conference 2011
Posted on May 11th, 2011 No commentsIn the remarkable Google I/O Developer Conference 2011, Google does not disappoint anticipants with their new and upgraded products and services. At the opening day of this remarkable conference, Google released several long anticipated products and services, including the Android Honeycomb 3.1 and the Music Beta by Google.
Honeycomb is Android’s specific tablet OS which has been considered fairly well, but indeed need updates to be perfect. This new Android Honeycomb 3.1 will fix some of the minor problems we had with Honeycomb, like not being able to scroll through recently-opened apps or not being able to re-size widgets.
Music has long been a weakness of Android’s–its stock music app is jarringly bad, both ugly and confusing, and without a native music purchase system like Apple’s iTunes or Microsoft’s Zune. Music Beta by Google (or, Google Music) is a Cloud music service, which is not a store like iTunes, or a subscription service like Rdio or Rhapsody, but more of a specialized chunk of online storage. You upload your music (20GB, at first) to this storage locker online, and then can access it from your Android device–as long as you have an internet connection.
Other new things of this conference are just like what I predicted before. The Ice Cream Sandwich plays an important role in this conference. One we did not expect to emerge is the Android@Home, an open-source project that’ll let developers create home automation apps with any appliance that’s plugged into an Android@Home receiver. Google also announced the Android ADK, a sort of collection of tools to allow hackers and developers to make new stuff with Android and an Arduino microprocessor.
The conference is still on the way, and we think that there must be more new surprises to be announced. Just wait for the latest news about the conference.
