Google I/O 2012, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, is just a week away and Google has just released this year's official conference app in the Play Store. This year's app is looking pretty nice with a visual overhaul, Google+ integration, personal schedule with reminders, and the ability to stream conference video directly. What other features does the app include? Here's the list from the Play Store:
- View the conference agenda and edit your personal schedule
- View detailed session, code lab, and speaker information, including speaker bios, photos, and Google+ profiles
- +1 sessions right from the app
- Participate in public #io2012 conversations on Google+
- Guide yourself using the conference map
- Get a reminder a few minutes before sessions in your schedule are due to start
- View information about companies in the Developer Sandbox
- Keep up with announcements from the I/O team during the conference
- View your schedule on your Android 3.0+ device's home screen using an app widget
- Play back “I/O Live” session video streams on your Android 3.0+ devices
- Automatically sync sessions in your schedule to your Android 4.0 device's calendar
- Beam session details from your Android 4.0, NFC-enabled device to another using Android Beam
The app works great on both phones and tablets running Android 2.2 and higher. Though the app will be more useful for those of us attending the conference (this is my first year… yay!), anyone with an interest in Android, Google, and all their technologies will definitely get something out of it. In other words, if you're reading this, you should get the app.
