Download The Official Google I/O App For Android

In seven days time at Moscone Center in San Francisco Google I/O would kick off. We are all eagerly anticipating the conference since a lot of new features and devices are expected to be announced. We may see the Siri competitor from Google and also there are reports of seeing the new Nexus line of devices and obviously
the Nexus tablet. However, for those who wish to stay updated with all the happenings of the Google I/O which is Google’s annual developer conference, Android Play store now has the Official Google I/O application.

The application is much better from how it was last year. It also now has built in integration for Google Plus. Also included is the ability to go for a conference directly from the application. The entire list of features in the application are listed as below:
