Google I/O 2024 is scheduled for a May 14 start, so to get us all ready, Google has posted the schedule of events. If you are a developer or just an Android/Google ecosystem nerd, you might want to pay attention. My understanding of I/O 2024 is that Google is going to show two live keynotes (Google Keynote and Developer Keynote) on May 14 for all to see. These are the big keynotes where we often hear about new OS versions and their headline features from the biggest names at Google. There are years where we get hardware announcements and teases too, so these day 1 keynotes will be worth tuning ..read more

Google continues its push to bring all of its services’ Reminders feature under one roof over at Google Tasks. This week, it’s Google Keep users that need to be made aware of what’s taking place. As announced, over the next year, Google Keep will have its Reminders automatically saved over to Tasks. This move allows Tasks users to see and edit all of their various reminders from things like Keep, Calendar, Gmail, and Assistant. This is Google’s way of trying to help users, just to be clear. Again, Google says this change will begin taking place over the next year and your Google Keep app shou ..read more

Google announced the Pixel Tablet almost a year ago to the date, only to then release it in June at a starting price of $499. That starting price included Google’s weird docking station for the tablet, a docking station severely lacking in features and that most of us would have skipped if Google allowed us to. Unfortunately, the only way to buy the original Pixel Tablet was to get the version with the dock. For 2024, it appears that Google is going to give us the choice to skip the dock, while also making a couple of important accessories available. The first report of a stand-alone Pixel Tab ..read more

Is there an Android game that has you addicted? Are you one of the millions of people who can’t stop thinking about AFK Journey? You may be entitled to compensation. Just kidding, there is no hope. But seriously, there have been a number of Android games over the years that you can’t help but play the life out of. Both of the Alto’s titles were like that for me, as well as Granny Smith. The question we have for you today is, what Android game(s) are you currently addicted to? We ask because not only are we interested, but maybe we’re looking for fun games we can play ourselves. Game discovery ..read more

Back in February, Google announced a new mail-in replacement service for its Pixel Watch 2, for those who needed help with a wearable that can’t actually be repaired.  The process for that mail-in program was a bit awkward to use and required some work on your part through an 8-step process. With a new announcement today, it’s clear that Google realized they could make this whole process so much easier. The new Pixel Watch Warranty Helper program is here to make warranty claims quite a bit more automated. The Pixel Watch Warranty Helper is a simple tool through Google Store support that u ..read more

Late last week, photos of the Pixel 9 Pro began circulating on the web. Now that they have had time to percolate, we have gone back to see how people are reacting to the change in hardware design. Initial reactions to leaked hardware are important. If people are excited by what they see, chances are potential buyers will still be interested enough to spend money on it by the time the actual launch happens. In the case of the Pixel 9 Pro, we may not see availability happen until October of this year, so the fact that many seem genuinely impressed by these photos is a good sign for Google. It ul ..read more

The original Chromecast with Google TV, the $49.99 dongle with a full Google TV experience that can turn any TV into a smart one, is a product that has needed a refresh since the day it launched. Yes, I’m an absolute hater of the dongle with the longest name, because it has always struggled with performance, has a too-tiny remote, and is really only on a single TV I own because it is cheap. We buy it because it’s only $50 on most days, but is often discounted to a level that makes it tough to ignore. This week, a new report suggests a refresh is on the way, likely with a new remote too. Unfort ..read more

Google pushed out a minor update to the first Android 15 Beta today to fix a few big bugs. The new update arrives as Android 15 Beta 1.1 and will land on your devices shortly over-the-air. The main focus of the update appears to be on NFC, since that was super busted in the first beta build. The first bug fix listed says it “fixed various issues with NFC” and then names 7 specific issues that Google was tracking related to it. After that, Google says it fixed a Developer Options crash, another that prevented some people from updating to Beta 1, and another that dealt with printing. Android 15 ..read more
