The keynote of Google’s IO Event lasts about one and a half hour. The talk includes some of the Development news at Google including:
- GWT
- Ajax and Apps API
- Gears
- App Engine
But the most exciting part for me was the presentation of Steve Horowitz, from the Android team, showing first Android applications on a mobile phone. For example it is possible to virtually walk around US-cities. For this application Streetview photos are used. The navigation is done via a touchscreen and a build in compass.
The used phone (no logo which indicated the manufacture) has a touchscreen from Synaptics where the user can log in with an user defined gesture.
