hello I'm Sumi das joining me is Rafe Needleman editor-at-large for Cena Rafe thanks for being with us okay so Rafe is going to be at the google i/o conference that's taking place later this week Rafe tell us you're planning to attend yeah what can we expect from this year's conference it's going to be big and flashy I just talked to the Google guys and they're saying we're going to whatever was last year with all the screens going on it's going to be even bigger this year so they're trying to get a lot of buzz going for the show and it's interesting because it's a developer's conference the audience are people who build products on the Google platforms Chrome Android the tablets the phones and all that but they're trying to make it a big media splash so attract attention beyond the developers obviously right well the debate starts with developers the developers have to build things but they're building them for Google's new products so we expect to see a new google tablet hear the rumors of the the nexus 7 the 7-inch tablet google-branded tablet not done with partners but branded by Google like the Nexus phones are okay and anything different besides the flesh from past conferences any major differences um we don't know yet we are very excited to hear more about google glasses we don't know what they're going to be doing with glasses at the show but i can't imagine that they're going to have a big developers conference like this with a splashy new product that they say they're going to bring to market this year without giving people a hint maybe a Tryon of these new goggles so somebody besides a Google employee perhaps might get to try them on after this conference maybe I hopefully me but I don't know we'll see and finally you know Larry Page the CEO typically attends every conference so this year though it seems like he may not be there why and tell us what kind of impact it may have well he sent a note out to staff saying that he's unable to speak for a few days so he won't be giving any speeches at at Google i/o and that's a bit of a downer i mean you expect the leadership of the company to be there of course they're sergey we expect to be there we don't know who yet is going to be giving the keynotes there's one on Wednesday morning one on Thursday morning probably the condola of Google+ because that's so core two googles mission now the social angle google stock went down on this news we think so it's kind of a big deal that Larry's not able to make it okay all right and we will have more updates throughout the week of course we will be live blogging the keynotes it's a three-day show will be covering the heck out of it we've got a whole team going we'll be looking at the new products both for consumers and for the enterprise any new hardware announcements the whole thing Google cars maybe we don't know Rafe thanks so much for joining us for seen it im sue me does thanks for watching
