Google has announced an exciting new virtual event titled “The Android Show: I/O Edition,” which will take place on May 13. As always, this event will be your first look at all the exciting new developments in the Android ecosystem. It will tee up the much-expected Google I/O, the company’s annual developer conference, happening May 20-21.
Rumors that Google plans a separate Android event before Google I/O now seem more credible. This decision represents a significant change in emphasis this year, underscoring the expectation that artificial intelligence will make an even bigger impact at the flagship conference. In short, Google wishes to give developers and enthusiasts a good look at the future of its mobile operating system. By keeping the Android dev stuff distinct from the overall Google I/O keynote schedule, the company makes that clear.
