Google I/O 2011 starts today with the keynote scheduled for 9:00am PT. We have an idea of what to expect, but you never know until it actually happens.
The much expected Google Music service is expected to be announced. Google has been negotiating with the record labels, but things haven’t been going well. They have decided to launch this service without their approval. It will be much like the Amazon Cloud service, but the plan is you will be able to upload as much as 20,000 songs for free to stream to your Android phone or desktop.
We should also hear a lot about NFC and Google’s plans over the next year. We reported that Google is predicting that between 40 million and 100 million devices will ship this year with NFC. Expect some talk about this.
Then there is the next version of Android called Ice Cream Sandwich. Will this be ready to show?
Then there is Google TV. Will Google unveil something new?
Only time will tell. We are about 1 hour away from the keynote. Stay tuned to TalkAndroid because we will be reporting you the news as it breaks.
