Google I/O '21 excitement

 

I should probably put my expectations in check but I am already excited for Google I/O. With Google deciding to skip I/O altogether last year I guess there is some legit build-up for us that happen to be fans of their platforms. At least me...


I will definitely be watching the keynote and starred a bunch of sessions and events just to see what's new.  If you’re interested I will have a list of what I have starred below. Things seem different this year but I assume all of the talks will also be available through the normal channels on Youtube. Well, hopefully…


So why am I so excited


I have no idea what’s coming besides the usual software updates for Android, Assistant and the like. But this year feels like the first time in a long time that Google is not in complete transition mode so we should see some pretty significant things as Sundar Pichai mentioned recently in Google’s earnings call. I won't speculate on what will be announced at I/O however I don't foresee any hardware announcements. I guess I could be wrong but I believe new devices will be coming in the third and fourth quarter of the year. 


With less than two weeks away from the event I hope to be surprised so no leaks leakers. Here's to a huge event that will hopefully set the stage for the rest of the year for Google.


Let’s go!

JBL Live 770NC review | An all around performer

The JBL Live 770NC headphones are a good choice for those looking for a combination of noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. Check out the video below for my thoughts on the Live 770NCs after a few months of use.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 review after 1 month | Google's Premium Earbuds

Google follows up the OG Pixel Buds Pro with version 2 and I must say that the Pro 2s are better in just about every way. The stand out feature to me really isn't a feature it's more about the fit. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 is 27% smaller and it shows. This helps with the fit and the wing tip is there to make sure things stay nice and snug. The rest of the package is very similar to the previous model just better. Check the video for my thoughts and see if the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be a good fit for you. No pun intended.
