To kick-off their annual Google I/O developer's conference, we are expecting the company to unveil many of the projects they’ve been working on behind the scenes for the past few months.

You can watch the entire keynote here and we'll follow up soon with detailed posts on the biggest announcements and takeaways.

Correction: bring on 64-bit Android!

Disappointed that they didn't show off the Nexus 8... a real shame. The Nexus 10 is really showing its age and needs a replacement. I wonder if there is a Nexus 8 in the #cardboard.

And no 64-bit either, not before next year. Apple is releasing 2-nd generation 64-bit mobile platform in two month, Google fails to launch its first one. Lame.

Why? The day a phone will need to be more powerful than a 32bit computer it will cease to be a phone imho. It is beyond silly to me as the biggest advantage is removing the 4gb cap and over 99% of users will never need that.

That day has passed, my friend. 64-bit is here already, and it is not just about memory capacity, but also memory access speed and future-proof. World paces beyond immediate needs

I forgot that in two years snapchat will require 8gb of highspeed ram. Instead of looking years down the road they should target needs for today such as battery life.
