The Verge Live: Google I/O 2014 and Android L

2014-06-26
welcome to the verge live for Google i/o 2014 I'm Josh Topolsky and i'm ross miller and if you've seen this to us before you know the drill we're going to talk about all the news relevant and irreverent about Google i/o developer conference 2014 all of it and a reverend I see you like that i don't know i don't know how much your Reverend kind of stuff I'm go to bring will do will do again and uh hopefully later on if we can get ahold of them are San Francisco crew who was at the event will be joining us yeah um yeah those I mean if they're still in you know we don't know what kind of condition they're in because the the i/o keynote was long as long it was arduous it was uh with a protester were there were protesters there were long periods of extremely boring coating on stage I know and look I know I don't wanna get into I know their music it's a developer's conference but you know what it really is so much more than that and I think that you guys all know in your heart that this is Google's chance to talk about their new stuff and right how great they're doing in blah blah blah i mean look apple just didn't developers conference there was some nerdy stuff going on yeah and then we reel whirring but they had a flow yeah i mean by comparison like this is like if Apple was a let's say WWE see was like a I think that's strong 8 for an apple for an apple pie intention or a presentation in general relocate relatives all presentation this is like a six five and a half six I wouldn't go to that little boy doin well unless I'm into coding stuff was boring the empathy did your pro front low with a bunch of stuff it's like android android android android l android wear hot choco they not say the name of android no it's okay so let's talk about let's go through some of these okay well i'm getting some weird pirate stuff happening with a sleeve of my shirt it's kind of a billowy pirate situation I don't like that that's a little better i'm gonna tip this table you are dead table okay so here's the thing so uh android l yeah the next version of android and frankly there's this whole refresh a chrome i think google on the web chrome OS google on the web and android have like a whole new visual language which they're calling material design right and we did we actually saw material design leaked just before or just as they were starting the conference I think it's a progression of what Google has already been doing in the Google now yeah well now in Google and frankly with with Android but it is a to me this looks like a completely end-to-end redesign of every element of the interface I mean it's really it really is I mean there are clear similarities but it looks like they've touched pretty much every single thing in the interface here and and sort of painted it with this this new brush and and or new paint I don't know they used a brush and paint at any rate it looks really good I think I mean I feel like this is you know people talk about flat designed this to me feel so much more modern I mean you know how I feel about iOS 7 right I've never been I've never to update that after iOS 8 came out like do you need any changes to that opinion are you a little more warmed up I mean iOS 8 had some very minor visual tweaks but I mean overall i mean i think if you look but if you look at these side by side to me that what Google is doing with design looks so much more forward-thinking and so much more modern and it feels so much more complete in a way right then iOS 7 I mean the iconography the color schemes they're using and frankly some of the interface ideas I just feel like it's a much more lively much more modern take on what a mobile interface be actually what's interesting about this is that it's not just a mobile interface they're looking at this as this kind of holistic it's a web interface it's a tablet interface it's a phone interface and I think that is informing a lot of what they're doing and it actually is improving what they're doing you can actually get a little taste this they have a and and the part of the platform they're building this stuff on it something they call polymer which right which I'm jumping around a little bit but there's actually a quiz they have online right now that you go is well you can go play around with it it works brilliantly in in Chrome I can't people were like yeah this doesn't function in ie8 or whatever but that's probably not where Google is intending for you next but not yeah but to anyhow they have this polymer quiz I tweeted it earlier just look at my feed I just go through my twitter feed I don't like this shot at all what's going off my hair in the shot there's like some weird some like tendrils and tentacles of anyhow not important hey let's go to Joshua to Kodiak Joshua Topolsky on Twitter and check out my feet you'll eventually find the link for the polymer quiz anyhow but so a lot of lots 1 pack but there's also also this is not I mean this is not the craziest event ever okay wait actually let's talk about what happened at the end of it okay really quickly so at the end of this event I'm just jumping ahead at the end of the event uh they were like we're giving all the developers here with this cardboard yeah this google cardboard hell is a google cardboard is a like basically a cardboard craft virtual reality headset you put your phone no you put your phone into okay and uh it you can do the our projects with it okay it's actually really awesome I think that we have a post going up on it or maybe it already is up and anyways a very it's a very odd can we get it up on screen can we get a shot of the cardboard this cardboard you can find it device they're actually it's really quite impressive there's a damn kind of a sub-site for it this is just us or searching for things this is always good this is good TV I mean there we go there we go can you go and is there a source link on this can we just see if there's the cardboard we are literally a backseat browsing right now compelling got well I got the wand but click on click on that check this out so scroll down ya know ok I scroll up slowly scroll to fat yeah you can see how the cardboard is I like how I'm just like controlling a person's man virtually so you can see here how this thing actually gets construct okay and I have to say it's a pretty cool weird thing for google to give out by people and it is easy the phone getting inserted there and it basically this works as as the oculus does is like it's a flat panel and there's two lenses yeah turns out like you don't need it turns out you don't need all that oculus crap just you just need a cardboard box that you can slide your phone right and two lenses of ass why we should all this time money energy its disposal on this when we could just be slide into a car inside to the cardboard and with this you can take outside I mean people look at you funny but you do have a space for the cameras maybe you can take it aaah strap is there something you can use to strap on that you could just build a strata know any all right let's go through the let's go through the announcements okay uh so the first big one the one seems be prevalent throughout most of the IO thing was android l which is the developer preview uh-uh not a candy name yet you know the official one will probably be like lollipop or ladders you know what I like what's going on at Google they couldn't decide you know what they have they've had they've had literally years they're like hey we're gonna use this naming scheme where it's going to be some kind of dessert and we're gonna go through the alphabet so you could have come up with every single name for the for every version of Android day one so what is the issue that they don't have the El name maybe there's called an Android L everything's going to it really see because you know they have simplified the design they had just true up considerably but they have this big and Google hick horses this big long full of candy ornaments I'm like ranaut Olivia Hughes gonna be a huge letter just a huge lead in gigantic owl we're moving to the sesame seaweed styling hair just a giant cartoon letter L I don't know so what do you think is gonna be a lollipop uh lollipop lemon think of some let's think of some some things it could be yeah if they like I mean if the lollipop limited lemon head is it is a trademarked product but kit kat is too um licorice licorice could be one that would be good uh they could just call something like lime just be a just a didn't do key lime pies there's a certain oh yeah they didn't do key lime pie that's true is there an issue is there something going on there's some behind-the-scenes stuff happening or should I be worried what wanted it lorna doone is that an actual dessert it's a cookie apparently are you looking I'm being told that it lorna doone is a cookie way you enter the dramatic hand yeah you're looking i'm getting the report now that lorna doone is an action is actually cookie so you can see here here's a great example of the living of material design yeah and some of these notification enhancements are really interesting they've got at you know they've always had actionable notifications for the past couple of versions of kit kats Aarav android right wait did they introduce them in in KitKat no no no it was before that's Joe gingerbread hell yeah jelly go ahead any raves they have they now have a whole new realm of actionable notifications a life something just a lifesaver they tweeted that may lifesaver be located but so material design is a big deal yeah and then they've got this polymer project where they're showing how you can really build can build one thing across platforms which looks very impressive I thought that it was you know it's actually a nice forward-thinking concept from right google and they've always been sort of playing this game of you know is it native is it web and they're clearly trying to get those things together especially with sundar running you know he was running to the Chrome OS project right chrome and Chrome OS he moved over to Android everybody was talking about how they're gonna bring these things together and they they did get into that during this presentation yeah I mean this is with me with one exception that was all Android event that one android event was really other one chrome thing was oh you can do android apps you can log in with android they're still merging these ideas together right no i mean and you know so so i think the visual refresh is good i feel like that was strong then they announced they talk more about Android wear okay we've already seen a lot about or an Android wear right you basically have these watches that people been showing off and it's essentially it's google now cards on your wrist yes it's a little more it seems a little more context really aware like he knows where you are reminders say I've come home which may be something you want maybe something you don't want right but I'm having a lot of problems this sleeve right now your pirate sleeve did a lot of my virus Lee was causing me serious serious start all the way out I want to today so what I want to do is I just want to loosen up here a little bit okay I don't know I don't know it is working my TV no I feel like this is working okay good here's the highway there's good okay here as long as the hair is intact I'm a happy guy um so so we didn't really see anything new with Android wear but I think the big the big announcement today was that these the samsung is making an Android wear watch no wasn't making it's coming out soon it's coming out soon you can order it right now they were like well I guess we'll do one why not I wouldn't we've got these we've got these uh what is their product called galaxy gear Galaxy together like we've got this galaxy gear the shell ash what's on it throw a droid where audit is is that what it is it's not new hardware at all it's just I didn't get a good picture a good shot of it myself it looks a lot like the gear okay it looks a lot like the galaxy gear and then the LG G watch right just rolls off the tongue what are you getting for Christmas so the LG G watch which it's I'm sorry it's ugly as hell I look it is casio calculator wall I mean it looks like it it looks like a square yeah digital watch right it's not i once it's ugly as hell it's not attractive it's not practice elections are both available those are both available to order today right and do they say when they're shipping do we know we don't think we know when they show exhibits here and then if you want the pretty one the moto moto 360 is going to be available later in the summer and and there was just an audible disappointment in audience when they announced that that was the case but they're giving everybody there they're basically giving away 360s to everybody there right when they are available right not right now today they get a piece of card about sure and a cardboard voucher and cardboard but in the future they'll have an actual device right so that's kind of a big deal they did Android auto might as Blum's barreling through these mica moving differently I don't think the loss of it in Android auto which in Krita now let me get this straight so Android auto the way it works is I'm taking a little bit of setback because I'm not a car person at all so the way it works is you have to get a car that has android auto installed on the head unit is already a part of the ok I mean I don't I'm not sure I fully understand this I'm a mess I feel free to tweeted me if you know better than I sure will be able you need to go get a car that has android android auto in the dash then you sync it you connect it to you bluetooth it to your phone right and it pulls the data off of your phone but only android yeah android no no i don't think i don't i don't think it works with iowa know it must know i guess it doesn't I probably doesn't work with iOS I didn't rate it actually looks really intuitive right and really nice it looks way nicer than car play yes in my opinion I think it's a much more attractive interface and also it's google map so there's a guy in a ver chert in the audience yeah um one of the limited edition for insurance actually but it uses google maps for navigation which is awesome and and and you know now that Google Maps incorporates ways data in it that's super handy so this would obviously be my this is my interface of choice if I had to choose between the two men with all these auto once again this is seeking completely of ignorance I haven't driven a car in about a year um it's wonderful I'm sure it is incredible you going out you just go out a road hit the road see trees which is really awesome in a while um no but like when you buy the car you're buying is like system how do you update it like how do you actually it's a dated it's updated I think so somebody just tweeted at me let me see I mean this could be complete fabrication let me see what they're saying it says the head unit support a display protocol not specifically Android auto runs from your phone plugged in via USB this is what this is what Dylan Staley just said to me and he could be a complete liar we don't know but if that's true i mean here's the deal i just got a new car right okay i can use this an audi audi q5 family have a family but y'all judge he's a family judge me I have a family I'm a family man uh and I needed a luxury vehicle that'll arouse my family it sure looks nice i'm looking it is a nice looking i didn't actually want to get if I can be honest with you it's a crossover whatever they call these small SUVs okay I didn't really want to get an SUV but what I wanted was a wagon a station wagon right the station wagons are cool this looks good but I'm just immediately going down a rabbit hole here is that what you want to do of course okay this well I wanted to get the Audi Allroad which is kind of an awesome a little wagon so the audi allroad is based on the a4 chassis and the a ford chassis has like no leg room very little lady has less it had less leg room in the back then my honda are sorry my than my volkswagen golf okay okay so it would be a step backwards in terms of legroom for the rear passengers AK members of my family right my growing family well one of them will not care about legroom for a while that's true but to any how they grow up they r up fast easy thing and so so uninsured as I and the mine it okay but you don't think you ever really about it this discuss the allroad i did buy i did not get downtown say so this this luxury minivan here you don't think a bill to add not a minivan what is going on what is that all there's a thing right here it's not a minivan it's it's an su a little since okay it's a crossover yes way of saying small as you date okay so anyhow apparently so apparently uh you know I'm hoping see okay so it's now I'm getting conflicting reports software's already in the car I think here's the boat Aaliyah oh my god somebody just mentioned the water glass so if I think about fall and they were they were right they were otter was that right that's amazing anyhow so my complaint is that i can't do anything about android wear and mike or android sorry Android auto in my car right android where i can i can be i can get in my car cuz i can just wear out an Android wear device right when i get into the car but but I said that's a little annoying right so may need to come up with a solution where you can get this into your car without having to get a new car is it just putting your phone on the dashboard is that well I mean so what I do now so maybe maybe that's a problem that Google can solve for us you know but they probably can't solve it immediately so they announced android auto well they had already announced android auto they just kind of gave us more detail on right and jumping again to all civ like that was the only other thing they mentioned there was no self-driving cars and weird google was not here today which was kind of disappointment we're in I oh there's like weird google just like Oh your google ya know eight years weird google wasn't there and I was thinking that doesn't make any sense because sorry event very upsetting to hear but uh but yeah there is not a lot of weird stuff no this is a chilled out in comparison to Apple in terms of wdc this was like a chilled-out laid back not really in your face what was that I didn't like that that you're doing a Larry Page impersonation in my ear a lot of shenanigans going on in the control room right now but yeah they were and then this is a okay so they did that then they showed off android apps for Chrome for pro so I mean no one understands this yet it's you can run you can run android app in a window on a Chromebook right so little I think a little bit back story um you know Andy Rubin kept Android very separate from the rest of Google Chrome was do his own thing at some point these charge emerged there was a Chrome browser for android Andrew was going to laptops a little bit and then around that same time Andy Rubin move over to robots while sundar Pichai got Android and chrome there was talk about put them together he said I'm going to keep them separate but now we are starting to see them merge a little bit with Android being the dominant force here if you say so if you that's what you want to believe oh no but then our jenner is an early version yeah but i will say it is a great idea it makes a lot of sense and i love the idea that you basically can run these you're running these windowed on on a chronic crumble yes so so to me this is kind of a huge deal now I'm I'm assuming and I don't know does this mean I can multi yeah it means well you can multitask obviously you've got a browser here right but can you run several apps at a time can I run like my twitter app and Evernote while i'm running a Chrome browser and you could do you see here here's mine and it's basically running it's running off of a device right or is this being run by the is this being run on on the plot I can't tell this is being mirrored or if it's a part of that that was for a little it wasn't it wasn't clear and so I think that so anyhow but the interesting part is that you've got real native now you have a real native app environm one where weather for a chrome and so this is so wait this is running off of the webcam okay seen there so it is it's running on it means basically running on the platform making sound here it's not just your it's making calls to at least yeah exactly so it's very interesting development I think it's kind of a huge deal it changes i think the app outlook and sort of the usability out outlook for Chromebooks I mean far more I find I think if crumble would be far more useful if I could run android apps on them yeah it's already wildly successful like the cheap laptop market yeah but it's so that's interesting but they didn't really say a lot about it and okay something's actually saying they were installed I mean by the way in the midst of this there were things I missed because we were actually working trying to get in data up so somebody said they were there installed on the Chromebook okay so they are all directly on the Chromebook so they are they're running natively there which is fantastic all right by the way people on Twitter highly highly helpful thank you thank you you were watching much more closely but so that's great but it's early they didn't really have they didn't have a lot to say about I mean they weren't like okay this is coming and it's a this year they weren't trying a new chrome blog there's no Chromebook pixel or anything like that this is no they didn't show you a new chrome and there was no real hardware I mean they show any new hardware at all Nexus is typically they don't show hardware here right they have done in the past they've done I believe they did nexus 7 last year or was that the year before he befriended nexus 7 Nexus Q and so that your ex is here or don't want to get it dharmaiah the nexus q speaking of the Nexus Q they did Android TV yes we did we did a we called it we had an exclusive on I mean we got some documentation that we published on Android TV so we knew this was coming basically they're saying hey we're going to do android for the living room and a full version this is not the chromecast where you're basically just streaming you're basically just streaming from a device to something that's plugged into your TV this is a full version of Android that's being run on your television it's either I mean do they say how it's coming to your TV um I mean we know that we know that razor is doing a razor to the main box razor in suits are making set-top box right Sony obviously Phillips might be also are doing TV the 2015 lineup will include Android TV yum degraded yeah and so so this is all over a so I think that actually the thing thing here is gaming I mean they're gonna they're kind of pushing gaming for the set-top boxes and for these televisions and that's not something we've seen Google do before they clearly see that there's I mean there seems to be some interest at least I mean I don't think leah was a huge success but now clearly like people are going after this more casual gaming space and maybe even not as casual gaming based on some of the demos they show well I mean this is what I think David reader once in the live blog these are android games they're good but they're not mind-blowing it's casual is a little bit what we're seeing with fire TV which is Amazon's you know kind of half-assed addition to the to the gaming set-top scene right yeah i mean i think that so you know we'll catch on do people want these are people i mean they're buying Roku's a little bit they're buying apple TV a little bit there apparently binding chromecast doesn't find a lot of do they want I mean is android TV something they're thinking about something they want something that feels like a vital part of their TV world i mean i'm not sure that it I'm not sure that it does it's tough because I think and this is when we came from the fire TV which everyone was saying like if you have a real coup or Apple TV and you're happy you're set right you don't need it says best seneschal the same function outright if you're starting to scratch that's where it becomes interesting and you're dealing but you're dealing with a new ecosystem you talk about buying from google play exactly they didn't make any mention of presumably amazon can have a nap here i mean google has been far less restrictive than anybody else in this department well certainly less restrictive than Apple so presumably they'll be in an amazon app on here there certainly is on roku right uh and so you know i think that there's some mean this is pretty impressive they like what we're seeing right now i mean the this is i think the the the big question is can they make it into something more than just a TV box can they make games matter for this thing and you know i don't know that's the case and in going back to android l cuz this is running the android l developer platform if you make a game for android TV right probably can work on the android well I think that's the time they were saying I think they're saying that a huge self that it's built it's built once the deploy in a bunch of different places and I think there was some some statistic that came out recently was like it's a mind-blowing the number of people like it's freeware that's the most the biggest thing for that Google's like the games are coming but like iOS is still the big big pusher for games right and it's all the way to well I mean this is how to get ahead of it but I mean this is interesting too as well as you've got this this uh you know you sort of interactivity between tabloids and controller I mean it's a cool idea will it take off to people uh two people want or need this I don't know I don't know that it's really this stuff is caught on at all I mean I know that there are certain look I i have several boxes my living right you probably do way more than actual word but we're not normal people no normal people are just like they're still it caught the complexity of something like this is just not attractive too but the cell is if you do not have a box and you're starting fresh which are gonna be a lot of people especially not us for other people know those people I mean well the Android TV could be a compelling case to cheat box it does the chromecast ups if you have your browser open it just doesn't feel to me it doesn't feel I mean if Apple does something in the fall with TV right that's that moves the needle at all I think it's going to be tough for anybody to be in that space and make an effective argument but that's a big if because we haven't seen Apple hasn't done anything that's necessarily we don't know what Apple's doing at this point there's a lot of room arein and they've yet to do anything that is moving the needle real and the big the big apple rumors have been and apple TV other games of summer TV set and the end by the army and revoir going back even going back from the roku uh the apple TV interface I mean that's gotta change i'm assuming it just is but it is not fun to use it is not an enjoyable experience and i think that that's a place that's a place where google has an advantage this interface looks a million times better than what Apple is doing as far as interfacer and also you can just use your phone right the interactivity with the phone or even a watch you've got one is really interesting I mean this is something I'm interested in the question is how do they sell it to the average consumer right you know you've got all these people are buying smart tvs with software already on them some version of you know it's some variation of what they're doing with Android TV essentially are people paying attention you know are they thinking about this stuff I mean I've done a good job market in the chromecast if they can market this the right way I think it can be a success but it is going to require some real work I from google this is le everything this is a chromecast but also plays games and if you don't have your phone with you you got netflix and hulu yeah and that's that's a nutshell what this is doing so that's android TV and then protesters protesting google announced a series of protesters today ya know they had up they had several people protesting the first person was a woman protesting the event because of the housing situation in silicon valley that wishes I could not hear her to save my libel Eve the first one was about that the bad housing shenanigans there happening in Silicon Valley which a lot of people blame google for among others among others but google seems to be kind of the lightning rod for a lot of the stuff and the second protester that correct me if I'm wrong but was shouting about Google making killer robots I can and I feel me definitely there yes there is and and I can't help but feel slightly responsible I was gonna say this in particular protest because yesterday we published a story the narrative which is can we get that up on the screen which was called hey remember that time Google accidentally made Skynet right and it actually that was born out of it was a little bit of like fanfiction from brian bishop but it was born out of this conversation we were talking about all of us optics is orthotic yet TT does that all the stuff that google was making and I said you know it's weird but they kind of have all of the things you need to build Skynet I mean actually are laying the groundwork for really risk i net is in the Terminator movies and and one thing led to another and then we had a we had a protester at the google event yelling about killer robots and I mean they do they did they are they did by military military robot Gary other things we've told me years how scared the cp's boss and dynamic are that's what's called right positive dynamics yeah it's not the fringe science fiction company that's massive dynamic no you're you're right Boston dynamic is is by dynamics is the company that you're thinking that you're thinking fringe no no I don't know about fringe okay I don't watch I don't watch garbage all right that is not okay i know i just i know people are gonna freak out of me no i actually never seen an episode of fringe so i cant can speak to it here's boston dynamics wildcat here just in normal just something Google needs for its stuff that it's doing let me know let's put android lollipop on that oh yeah no seriously here's the thing this guy ok here's what this guy could be doing you know taking walking tours of cities yeah going into going into shops feeling like shop view and street view doing all that stuff I mean I think you know right cuz what am i amazing you copy that going down to whatever this infer and put some some like googly eyes on it you wouldn't see that terrifying I I don't think it would you'd be like oh look at this ski time now you want to put it in further it's like blue or something so you didn't think it was an actual animal I don't know it's I think this is kind of cute and adorable and I'd like to hug it you just refuse it all I can think about is like that Simpsons episode treehouse heart gotta come in rushing the simpsons I'd like to curl up next to that it with a cute crusty doll that turns 10 the nice little cute smile because I don't know you're tough are you talking about the simpsons right now with the simpsons I don't know what you're talking heads I've watched the Simpsons in 20 years it's been on the air for 50 years and I haven't washed it for 20 of us but but but you know this was it was a weird event for google mm-hmm in that they didn't have anybody skydive yeah they didn't have any weird they didn't have any ending bits with Larry where he talked about Google island or anyway they didn't really I there were no maybe the biggest thing that they announced was this new design language in my opinion yeah that really is the most notable piece of this and I think it's great i'm excited to check it out and real quick just to catch everyone up so I'm what we're hearing yeah your yahoo sorry I'm getting something dieter bohn should be joining us 15 sometimes next 15 minutes 15 minutes want to talk about 4 15 minutes no we've already burned through all of our topics here it's all we've literally been on the air for 10 minutes or something not long at Annette has it been 30 it feels like it's been just a moment with these with this audience with this wonderful audience yeah I can spend all day and all night with them world and manly Boston Dynamics robot that I was just a cuddle of the taco yeah but uh okay so we're gonna get to bring actually speak to dieter who's at the event live in about 15 minutes right um I think that I think we should take questions from Twitter right now what do you want to know what do you want us to talk about right now what would you like to hear while you're asking well the question coming I jeribai the other thing that we're not there uh google glass completely completely missing there was no Google glass right uh I don't know what the I'm not sure what the genesis of the of the issue is with google glass at this point I feel like here's the thing that I've always thought about google glass that they were google did this thing and it ended up taking off a lot more than they expected it to the google glass is one of their way weird experiments and for some reason it just took off and people got very excited about it and I think they felt like they had to keep talking about it and promoting it you know it's not really a central I think it's a really central product to what Google does no I mean it will be I mean it will be you know part of the Skynet system but somebody wants to know why I back with an iphone you know look I I use a lot of different devices okay I like to stay I let you stay fresh and updated how many do you have on urinal I've seen several devices for my vantage right now and you know no I mean but you know you gotta you gotta you to use everything mm-hmm you know NEX it'll be windows phone then it'll be then it'll be a Firefox OS for the phone then whatever they call it and just you can carry a giant whether it's giving me even I'm gonna go back to my asha s40 all right I'm getting some questions here okay let's see if any of them are oh did I test drive the motor 360 um well I if anybody I think some was asking about the Moto 360 I mean let's just say that I've I'm familiar with the 360 I can't say much more about that but it is a beautiful device let me just say can you talk about how beautiful it is and i will say that of all these Android wear devices that we've seen and having seen this up close and personal the 360 is far and away the device that I think people going to want and want to wear compared to these three yeah yeah you know the stuff that looks like a digital watch like you've got to really be interested in wearing something like a digital watch and get to get excited about it the 360 really legitimately looks and feels like a regular watch on your wrist okay and I think that's a big selling point and I think that I think that the the fact that that so many people were were you know sort of upset when they said that it wasn't available immediately is a great example of just how important this that device is going to be for Android wear in general right and remember when he came up with it the story wasn't just Andrew where it was the design and hardware of moto 360 Motorola really playing up that part of it it's like this is we're trying to make a pretty watch that just happens to run android wear yeah no I mean and I think that that hopefully we see other manufacturers do a circular display and do I would like to see other designs that are more traditional but not you know this one's just very very plain very basic ya think you could do a lot with it it's a bit big to I'm interested to see if they can do a smaller a slightly smaller version but that's just one one man's opinion so we asked about Android one which is a project for building the Google's building its own this is the third the third one third will mark it with developing developing countries third world is actually pejorative and has been deprecated guys I'm really just so you know so please apologize to our viewership for developing for developing nations they're working on developing countries they're working on lower-cost handsets that are actually designed for those particular markets sundar was talking about a device for the Indian market that was dual sim had FM radio to certain things that like you're obviously you're gonna think is every country every region has its own needs Google is thinking about that presumably they're also working on I mean not presumably they are also working on building a android to fit pretty much any device that's been an ongoing project for for Google generally but I think they're now aiming really specifically at lower end devices that are much more affordable and they can be you know that you can that can give you a great experience without having to have massively powerful hardware that reminds me Google fit all right sorry for that slightly weird even taco relation is a so Google fit is their health platform yes basically it's it's their health it's yeah their health kit I think it's weird I mean dude our Apple Google talking more I i think there's so much there are so many similarities between the apple event in the grill event it could just be an accident or could just be Google trying to sort of get in on some of the stories around it's like oh well apples rumor have a TV and a watch it goes like oh well here's our TV and watch by the way we're doing the same thing yeah no I mean it makes sense i mean the problem now is you've got everything has to be I just wish everything didn't have to be about these competing these warring platforms you know be great as if if Google and Apple were like hey listen we're gonna create an open standard for exchange of this data because what happens is like you know it's like oh well we're building these devices for apples health thing and doctors are using this right thing and then other doctors will be using the google thing and all of a sudden you have all of a sudden you've got you know look I need to get my glucose levels to my doctor and I can't do it because he's on he's on he's on iOS oh yeah he's on trees on Android or whatever it is i think it's it's you know when it comes to your health there should be some open standard you know we should do let's have the government create an open standard for health data they did such a great job with with healthcare.gov I feel like how that can process is possibly go wrong that second I thought you're being serious well actually there is an argument made that there should be some some group of technology should get together and say let's create an open standard for exchange of health data because it's actually really important was it so the future of humanity my opinion who was the don't doing we don't really have yeah there was one big health from that was a part of health kid was it was it Mayo Clinic yeah Mayo Clinic yeah but I'm saying I know I know you get that Mayo Clinic buys in on health kit and somebody else buys in on all you get me on Google fit next thing you know it's bedlam well TV says it's it's it's total terror total madness um but nike who is long been an apple supporter and obviously didn't call this big nike fan fuel is a part of this health initiatives Google fit initiative you can actually use the fuel score and track that throughout whatever Google fit platform thing majig is gonna do yeah well I mean I just think that all I'm saying is I'm just calling for people to be reasonable right human beings need to get their data out there to doctors and also out into the cloud for hackers to get so they can they can hack their pacemakers right well it's fortunate because my other thing that is the thing my pastor is always my glucose levels so someone does get that I'm verily and also dying wait a second so me just say Google Drive just did a one more thing what is it no it's better be good I don't know how Google Drive can do anything because it's a it's a it's an inanimate I literally just said one more thing oh yeah look at that new home screens on the web okay whoa oh ok so there's kind of a drive redesign that's interesting we're just learning that right now which is material design first hand which is is it material design it looks like it I think so it is it is similar yeah I guess it is sure anyhow I think the design is that to me is the most exciting thing they talked about today right and I feel like it's really fresh like fresh in the kind of slang use of fresh and also so fresh and so clean exactly the fresh also like it's like a you know like you got some celery and you just ran it under cold water that's and you took it out of the refrigerator so it's cold and crisp I'm actually a little hungry this might be but you know talking about you know you bite into a cold piece of freshly washed celery and you're like oh man that is like a refreshing experience if I see no that's more reflective on my dietary problem that's a refreshing experience that is just filling my mouth with a pleasure you'll never feel that way when you bite into celery I'm my own person no no maybe it's a little bit of peanut butter no I no no come on don't wanna mess up you don't mess up a beautiful piece of celery with peanut butter you actually maybe you're five years old or something uh uh on a second I'm gonna let me ask me to tweet the Google Drive link okay uh I mean I'm gonna do it do it do it um alive that's live tweeting right this interesting we've been talking a lot of this look at that beautiful calculator look at that sexy calculator I just want to I just want to make love to that calculator by the way somebody mentioned that Matias today looked like somebody from Panem in The Hunger Games and I have to say like he definitely looks like what is the name of the of the head game guy in the first Hunger Games movie oh right wes Bentley right he kind of had like ten crazy like facial hair going on control room please look up and and he also is wearing like kind of a futuristic you know mattia style outfit it's just no no not that wrong wes Bentley you gotta find wes Bentley patiently talking about you failed me you really fell to be in the control room I got to say that was um that guy is the what he's the TV shows name is like tally something or other you know I I just may like that might not be right it's sleep Stanley Tucci right just do a search for Hunger Games wes Bentley I'll give you five dollars of there if you could do it look at these I can see them furiously type in the control room right now wait wait in my very disappear here we go so can we get a picture of Matthias up just as I am or I do feel look you got it no problem I'm fine google st. can anybody tell me this guy Oh Seneca Crane so we just said this is named Seneca Crane like okay uh so let me just ask they take off my shirt by the way for the people i don't know if this is related to hunger games or not but I'm considering it some one button that just one slope by the time this broadcast is over I will be one hundred percent shirtless don't hold me to that anyhow Seneca Crane and Matias Duarte I feel like there's a little bit of a get the side by side it ever happen I think they're working on it it's happening I feel like you guys really slipping since we've not been doing the verge cast you can tell that they're off their game yeah these guys have like just don't know how to we've been taking get here no wait here in the studio they don't how to do this you get it happening you don't I mean is there still nothing they unbelievable I'm disappointed when I blame Billy dis ting you can email him at Billy at the verge calm tell them how you feel about this some how you feel about this disgraceful lack of graphics on this broadcast uh we will have in a set hopefully in a second Billy I'm going to just let your thing to you hopefully you get um hands on a hands-on from uh from google i/o we can show that soon who's that who's that who's doing a hands-on um I don't know stuff you see here's the thing as we speak yeah there are on the ground there are people on the ground at i/o not us but there are other people human beings mmm from the verge we're home we're furiously working to get you more content we know how much you love content furiously working to get you a bigger better meteor juicier stories I am definitely hungry yeah I'm definitely starving you know this is what happens when you only have a little snack and then you sit through a long Google event it was long I was so long I don't understand why Google can't get this right well I mean that stuff they were doing like some of us that they were showing was definitely in session territory I mean let me just explain to people who don't understand developers conference has sessions that follow the main event right Dave this keynote is a kickoff thing and then they do sessions with developers they break out they go through new things that they're working on they want to share with developers totally a great idea there is a way to communicate what your thing does and why people should be excited about it without having to show the functionality of it straight through yeah and so like I just feel like Google need to get a little bit better at demonstrating those things without going into a full-blown like session style demo do we have the Seneca Crane to the TS Duarte side by side yet because I was just I just thinking about it the back of my mind and getting angry again wondering why it's taking so long this is clear the most important thing to do right now yeah no we also we are just publishing the hands on google android TV okay we've got a hands-on with Android TV it's excited they will hopefully be coming soon by I need to get a hands-on with with this L version of Android does anybody know how I can do that right this second it's developer Fiat now is it coming is there a developer version of it that I can get my I can sink my teeth into sure there's somebody I'd like a delicious piece of celery I mean for all the time it took you extremely bad really bad quality I also say for the time it took you to produce this image on the screen I should have seen more but i will say there is a striking resemblance here striking resemblance and i think we should take note of that we really should have it and frankly and frankly and rightly he'd you know this the possible message right which is you know we've already talked about Google becoming you know turn building skynet could they actually end up creating a panem style situation just want the Hunger Games I'm could they create the Hunger Games I mean think about it actually you know they wipe out a lot of the u.s. citizenry terminators okay and then they subjugate them Google island is actually in Colorado into the city a glorious shining city unto itself and and then you know the rest of America is broken up into into uh whatever what do they call them district district districts and every year we have to we have to go fight the hunger games it's not so far off from reality I think possibly but probably is very far off so anyhow a way I'm way off topic now is there any already snacks does it make me celery here that can be brought in and maybe not silly I'm sure their chips but while we're doing that we do have the android TV hands on which is got posts if we can take a look at that now we take a little look we take a look at the video Z of the android TV hands on I'd love to see this thank you so we're here at Google i/o in San Francisco where google just announced android TV it's a big update to the long-standing Google TV platform it's basically part of their initiative to have Android everywhere and it starts off with a TV interface and a remote app on their phone which is the basic you know d-pad controls and along with that there's a new gamepad controller because Android is showing off lots of games in the TV so with this you can go across the dinner face at the top it has suggestions for content that you may want to watch or view from google play TV youtube travel channel other options like that and if you move down you can see all the apps that have installed you can use the google play store to add more but it has your typical options like Netflix YouTube Showtime as well as other things like eat24 which they showed off on stage and there's a special link for Google Play games the games are broken out into a separate category down here you can see all the games installed the TV and jump into the most recently played games here the TV box itself it's running is a reference platform that Google built specifically to let developers start program with the Android TV and the controller is the same a deal and that's basically it for Android TV all in all it seems like this is probably Google's best effort yet at building a TV interface that people will want to use and it seems to get my ex should be a good way to you know bring casual gaming to the big screen in your living room as well certainly a better effort than Google TV we've seen thus far and given Google's success with chromecast over the last year this could be you know their next big thing here's my question 1 why didn't Google build an actual box and give that box to all the developers there today do we know no they're not giving that box out to developers right that's not coming until like it says like it's come on the fault was developed for you a lot of time to wait I don't have time to wait for the fall okay so the first question is why don't they actually just make a box the second thing that I've got a question I was just thinking they did google TV Nexus Q yeah and chromecast so this is their fourth attempt to do something for television yeah was the Q the Q had a it did do video right mm-hmm it was just an audio device it did YouTube did just er you to just YouTube we have a cue somewhere in this office it's a door it's literally a door stop somewhere I'll need someone's actually using as a doorstop yeah it's on this floor I think so no no no it's it's up on the upstairs someone's gonna find it that's like a rare that's a cool weird thing to have you think it's pretty it lights up nice i mean lights up nice it's up nice well it did happen hack it he probably did all he did there it is but so they made a lot of attempts to do this and and my god i hope they get it right this time here's my question universal search for content does it have universal search know we know oh wait wait does android TV or just cute this is why we need an expert on the ground in San Francisco but unfortunately i don't know that deters gonna go to break away from all this action we've actually just gotten word that leader may not be able to join us for this broadcast he has been punched violently by other members of the team there for canceling on a protest is broken protests broken out protesting the lack of dieter on this broadcast but i think that i think that uh you know the and repeat yourself looks interesting I just I feel like they've again they've only taken it halfway right I know that I know that Google wants it to the thing where their partners make stuff for them but I don't know it might be time for Google to take its take the first party game more seriously yeah that's just my this one has all the way to say um let's start let start wrapping we wrap up is there anything else that we didn't cover oh the somebody a couple you'll mention this airplay the sort of airplay like mirroring yeah yeah to the chromecast I think that's very cool they were already doing tab mirroring from browsers from chrome so from devices kind of makes sense mm-hmm I don't know how that's going to feel in the real world right I'm gonna have to go test it immediately that you can and they showed they showed i will say that that some of the some of the not to go back to the design stuff some of the the performance that we saw in the material design demos and some of the performance that you can see now with the quiz i was talking about on the web suggests a kind of new era for how we think of app design and web design a native Native native versus web and I'm actually really excited about that because it's a really impressive it seems like a really impressive and powerful platform yes to be to be harnessing and it brings all of their products together in a real material way no pun intended but so I think all-in-all here's my here's my take on it yeah because we do have to wrap up its rapin and will end on a supercut but we are we have a super cut already so already um here's my take on it I think design is extremely strong I ring right now for a mobile platform I don't think there's anybody who is as focused and doing as good in terms of design as Google is right now okay especially cross-platform I mean I think there are places in iOS that that work there's a lot of stuff that still doesn't work in iOS a we didn't see any significant changes to that I think the notifications is as an example not not to not to go back to iOS on that but wonder how they're continuing to develop notifications in Android is really impressive and this and some of the in some of the ways of their tying in was that will or won't will not will not sorry some of the ways they're Chinese I just got a message in my ear by dieter and I couldn't make it out it is I'm just going to actually join us or not some of the ways that they're utilizing some of the new API is the calls they're making where you can you can load straight from a web page into an app on Android to me seems extremely powerful right so I think that I think they're making the right moves and that in that space you know I think that they still have this they don't they don't I mean one of the most compelling things that Apple did at WWDC was to show us how connected this family of products can be they really brought together the phones and the desktop and and frankly the clouds yeah the first time in any really meaningful way and you started to see how Apple could do that ecosystem really right and make all that stuff talk to one and even with carplay they show that you could you could do it in a car as well android has that going for it google has it going for it across these platforms right now but it just doesn't feel like it it's as cohesive or clean or clear in a lot of ways on how it on how it's going to all these things will talk and here's here's my here's my theory to wrap a bug because there was so much didn't bring up a tap project ara glass you know a lot of the final deliverables with where and TV there's I would imagine is another event coming this would be a little bit atypical google but like i imagine we'll see something else a long time when like android l becomes lollipop yeah lemonhead or so I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you I'm just laughing some be tweeted the picture a woman eating celery at me and i have to say that celery looks amazing well the celery basically has no caloric content whatsoever so wouldn't really help that much it's a good snack if you're dieting I'm not I'm ready to eat just about anything already go totally ballistic on some food um hey what do we think about the new iconography at the bottom of bottom of Android nice and Purdy we're about the fonts well somebody mentioned somebody mentioned to me that you know if you're confused about the share icon in iOS 7 you know these these icons at the bottom of Android are going to be really confusing but i have to say they're only a slight deviation from the current iconography in android right now in KitKat so it doesn't strike me as tremendously difficult to understand but you do there is a learning curve to begin with when you get android right you have to understand like the back button does this in the home that Home icon takes you here and building loads up multi yeah Oh multitasking let's talk about multitasking really quickly did they just blow a multitasking on Android by the way we need because this interface that they have the new multi tasking interface have you guys seen this it looks like it looks a little bit like the new safari view for tabs in iOS yes but the idea that you would want to stack a bunch of your apps and not be able to see any of them and have to swipe through them to find the thing you're looking for is a little bit insane wait what they have going right now actually makes some sense Kent argument that was like you can see ten you know more apps at once so you can't really see the apps because they're buried behind I mean look at the can we get a screenshot of the multitasking a view before we sign off we can round this out to like a nice hour of us just be a saying if you can find this graphic can you get wes Bentley overlaid on top of them the multi-tenant we be eating okay I get it can I get it I'd like to see wes Bentley eating celery while multitasking with the new version of Android is that possible because that's what I'd like to see today anyhow but if we can get that but but the multitasker it looks like they maybe have ruined some of the multitasking for for android in my opinion it was very clear before oh very let's see it lets see the picture might I don't know I'd love to see the picture this is like a Seneca Crane situation where we may never get it up yeah on screen right now our poor viewers tens of thousands tens of dozens of viewers tens of thousands this visit is it tens of thousands give or take so sorry yeah I'm high ball goes so sorry uh ah are waiting to see this they're dying to see the malta job so you can't find it anywhere i cannot find an image out as we can just put up static a crane while you're looking at very least could we get a picture of west bed Lee well before poor Billy look at him it there for you searches a little heart out real quick look little quick nest no mention of nest nothing no mention of home automation knows no mention of anything about Dropcam which nest just by oh that's right nothing really that even indicated that they're interested in the home I think you know it's weird but I think they're they're aligning themselves to an apple schedule and they're doing very much they're basically copying wdc were those saying like oh here's some stuff for developers this only the groundwork and then they're talking about this fall date Ryan there they're saying you know we're going to show you more stuff in the phone maybe that means they're going to show us some integration they're going to show us some home automation they're going to show us actual products as opposed to these you know phantom phantom that would be very nice really no no can't find them all details on their loss ever literally several people now frantically searching I bet you if I took one second right now I'm not going to do because I don't want to neglect our viewer or in that area pirate is to break away for a literally a single second I could immediately pull up I will never be able to prove this out unfortunately but I know would I be able to pull out the multitasking view all right you know it looks like we're just gonna go there every to get to the Balti tasker you can find it yourself at you can fight you Virg we have several articles on the on the i agree with somebody just take it too long i agree with you we have several articles many many articles today about what all of google's announcements go to the verge calm read all about it we have a bunch of verge update videos probably some more on the way we're doing hands-on right now and uh anyhow it is a big day of news for google but did they did they achieve what they need to achieve today i'm not sure what that was at the very least I'm excited about checking out the new version of Android and I think that's the best you can buy any much tinier comparison yeah shorter really literally am i living a little like a little my son you like my little with a beard Oh dad teenagers teenager you always giving me guff all right anyhow this is a bad and dark way to end their Darla verge live at Google i/o but um that's it no thanks to dieter bohn for not showing up guy was too busy getting you news game but still or no still he should pay some in some way and Ross as always it's been a true pleasure it work it's it's been the thing that happened really was a thing that we did yeah today Oh Anna died I like oh there is as my that's completely insane these guys are high and drunk if they think that's a good way to multitask and they are there seriously smoking some good and by the way they probably are because they're in California where weed is basically legal decriminalized decriminalized the very least um anyhow uh said thank you guys for watching thank you weirdly always would love we love live doing live postgame wrap-up for you and then just around a table talk now I'm gonna go get some some celery so please by the way several several people on Twitter found the multitasking before our guys did so uh gonna be the only several canings tonight when when i'm going to all said and done this is true that's how we that's how we deal winter actually a problem uh yeah please enjoy a 90-minute supercut of the our press conference no another 90 minutes 90 minutes 9 minutes 9 million on that or anything else ok we have a supercontinent we were super cut of the three-hour event if you could possibly watch it stay in nine minutes we've got nine solid minutes of all everything that you would need to know so take a look at this and and we'll see you guys soon we'll be back I'm sure very soon very soon ayos when we talk about our two large computing platforms Android and Chrome we're very excited as of this year's i/o we are over 1 billion 30-day active users they take around 93 million selfies every day the team tells me about 31 million of these are duck faces user experiences are evolving rapidly and we wanted to rethink the user design experience and Android to have a fresh bowl and new look Android Chrome and across all of Google to craft one consistent vision for mobile desktop and beyond and this led us to a way of thinking that we call material design those scenes and shadows provide meaning about what you can touch and how it will move and we've also updated our system font Roboto so that designers and developers can use one typeface designed and optimized for every screen from your watch to your laptop to your television so in another area where we've improved the user experience on al is around notifications I can double tap on a notification to launch the corresponding app or if there's something I don't need I can just dismiss with a single swipe and to unlock the phone well this is just a notification shade so you just swipe it away and you're straight into the device so from here I can keep going or if I want to act on it like non strip or if I'm busy swipe it away and what you're about to see is epics Unreal Engine 4 desktop rendering pipeline running on Android L on the latest Nvidia tablet hardware it was a bit of a flicker here and we've worked hard to make sure that the battery keeps up with the performance so battery saver allows you to clock down CPU the refresh rate even turn off background data to conserve battery so battery saver is really great if you're about to embark on a light long hike or maybe along protest and to say you want the battery to last evil on both with elder leaves and chrome we are bringing a whole set of new experiences too many connected screens around you we're right at the beginning in a new phase in the miniaturization of technology which means that it's finally possible to make a powerful computer small enough to wear comfortably on your body all day long here's a live demo on the LG G watch you can see that it hasn't always on display but at any given time shows you the most important thing we know for you swiping up and on navigate you through this stream of cards which includes information from google no apps running on Jeff's phone and apps running directly on the wearable itself you can see that there's a broad selection of analog and digital designs in a variety of styles to suit your tastes when you swipe away a notification on the watch it disappears from the phone and when Jeff receives a phone call you can either swipe to reject the call from his wrist or swipe up to choose from one of these quick SMS replies now you'll see that Jeff has music controls on his watch you can see what song is playing he can pause the music or skip to the next track Jeff can see how many steps he's taken today along with a step hunt history for the week on devices that supported he can even check his heart rate after a jog pinterest can notify him that he's near one of Susie's pinned restaurants allowing him to quickly glance at the details then swipe to see a map and if he likes it he can start navigation right from his wrist today we're made a fool android wear SDK available it enables you to write code that runs directly on the wearable itself and here I'm presented with a beautiful interface that lets me confirm the kind of food I'd like today let's stick with pizza and then I can quickly swipe to see and repeat my last order just one more tap to pay and the pieces on its way when a watch is connected the wearable portion of the app is automatically installed and kept up to date on that watch the LG G watch will be available to order later today on the Play Store we're very happy that Samsung is joining the Android wear family with the Samsung gear lives and the samsung gear life is also available to order later today the Moto 360 is the first watch to adopt the rond Android wear UI and it will be available for sale later this summer those are just the first three
