Other than the photos part, what are they really innovating?
And the photos part is probably a way for them to data mine everything about your life and family. No thank you.
Fairly dull set of announcements, really. Good to see they’ll have an improved app permissions model, though.
It is Google Pay not Android Pay because Amazon doesn’t
get it for free.
They finally copied Copy-n-Paste properly.
Now they are stooping to copying terms like Glances and Moments.
Next year they will copy Force Touch but call it Force Play.
Call me old-fashioned, but it just ain’t a proper Google I/O without Vic Gundotra rallying the open-source nerds by cracking passive-aggressive remarks about iOS. But seriously, folks.
“Mobile developers have a handful options to drive revenue, but for many, the most important is still advertising.”
Because so few Android users actually want to pay for anything?
It appeared to be much the same thing as they literally just cut and pasted names of Apple’s features onto Android.
And because they’re still seen as “ethically superior” by their fans, “great artists steal” will continue to be heard.
It’s so pathetic. Their are using Apple as their RnD dept. I hope Tim goes for the jugular.
