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.

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:
