Google IO 2022 date set for May 11 and it will be an online event

Google I/O 2022 goes live on May 11. It will be a two-day event extending to May 12 as well. Going with the tradition, Google had released a puzzle to guess the date and details of its Annual Developer Conference. The four-part puzzle has been solved by now and the company chief Sundar Pichai has confirmed the Google I/O conference 2022 will be free and online for everyone.

Later, in a statement given to The Verge, Google spokesperson Alex Garcia-Kummert said, “This year’s event will be broadcast in front of a limited live audience, and is completely free and open to everyone virtually.”

Although mentions of I/O 2022 being “live from Shoreline Amphitheatre” and “in front of a limited live audience” might have confused some, it was later clarified to Ina Fried of Axios that this limited audience will be mainly Googlers and some partners. Meanwhile, the media and the public can watch it all online.

Here’s the aforementioned I/O puzzle:

Google I/O 2022 puzzle

The four-part puzzle consisted of tangled strings with physical and musical loops. Once untangled, they started playing a tune, which can now be heard on the io.google/2022 website. Therein, you can also see a countdown timer to the event.

Google I/O 2022 Registration and What to Expect

On the I/O website, even though you get a sign-in option, the FAQ section notes, “Registration will be available in March 2022 - check back on this website for more details.”

However, once you register, you will receive key information like the session topics, speakers, and various activities of the event through email.

This year’s I/O is free for everyone. All sessions and keynotes will be available on-demand and in different languages even after the event without any charges. There will be virtual demonstrations too.

That said, the exact schedule is yet to be revealed. The company hasn’t hinted about the products it may announce either. Even if this is a dev conference, we may get to learn about consumer-facing products and features it is working on like say Android 13. Let's see. We’ll keep you in the loop.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses based on a patent from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
