The Google I/O mobile app for Android is back for 2011 and looking better than ever before. We’ve added some new features to make it easier for you to connect with the I/O session content on the go, even if you don’t have a ticket into Moscone Center.
For the 2011 edition we redesigned the app to support Android tablets, taking advantage of the extra screen space to offer a realtime activity stream for Google I/O as well as a tablet optimized layout. For the first time, you’ll be able to stay up to date with I/O as it happens, regardless of whether you’re using your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Our most popular features from last year are making a comeback for the Google I/O 2011 mobile app as well. Browse through session content and schedules, orient yourself with a map, check out the Sandbox, and take notes to get the most out of your experience at the conference.
Speaking of Android, please remember that if you have an old, unlocked Android device, you’ll be able to donate it at the Android for Good booth at I/O to support NGOs and educational institutions in developing countries.
Get the Google I/O 2011 mobile app today by scanning the QR code above or by visiting this link from your computer or your Android device.

To answer the obvious question, we plan on open sourcing the app shortly after the conference.

ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, Roman. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteIs this app open source?
ReplyDeleteIt would be most useful to open source it now, so people can customize it however they want, and share those changes.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask: why afterwards?
ReplyDeleteSo is there just a single version that is supposed to switch into tablet mode? It looks like a stretched out phone interface on my gtablet.
ReplyDelete@Solomon — the tablet layouts are invoked only on xlarge-screen, Honeycomb tablets. There were some technical reasons that we didn't show the tablet layouts on the GALAXY Tab.
ReplyDeleteGood Job, Roman! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteNice work as always Roman! Glad to see this released and the source coming soon.
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice to follow-up the IO with the help of this app.
ReplyDeleteThe map is using Korean language?

ReplyDeleteThe Virtual G-Show app in your pocket - groovy! So, can you say what real time level of A/V conference proceedings will be available?
ReplyDeleteThanks Roman,
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIs the data cached at all? Hopefully so since data might be limited around town.
Will there be one for Bootcamp as well?
ReplyDelete@Michael— unfortunately live video didn't make it into the app this year.
ReplyDelete@Theory— data should be cached, but expect last-minute updates before and during the conference :-)
@Moose— no Bootcamp app this year unfortunately.
Is there any source code anywhere?

I guess it isn't compatible with the HTC G1. Doesn't seem to be able to install for me. Is there an older version that might work?
