What is the new about the Google I/O

At the I/O 2014, Google unveiled plans to expand Android, its mobile operating system, for new categories like wearable computers and automobiles as well as its ambition to be everywhere: in your home, your car and even on your wrist. Let’s make a simple summary for you.

Android One

With Android One, Google is poised to own the entire world. Android One is a reference platform — it’s a set of rules that device makers can follow to make low-cost phones. It makes it easier for manufacturers to develop and produce devices, because Google is doing all of the hard work figuring out materials costs.

Android L

Google said, no Android 5.0, but a coming version of Android for smartphones and tablets, tentatively named Android L, will be available in the fall. In Android L, Google overhauled the design of its software system powering smartphones and tablets. Similar to Apple and Microsoft, Google adopted a “flat” design with more vibrant colors and added effects like shadows and animations. 

Android Wear – LG Watch, Samsung Gear Live, Moto 360

Android Wear is designed to show relevant, concise information on a square or circular screen, ideally saving you from having to reach for your phone 120-plus times a day.

Google Fit

Google Fit is Google's new health initiative. It's a service that'll track all your health metrics -- sleep, steps, etc. -- and it's built into the next version of Android. But what does that mean? Well, it means that Google's Android platform is getting the same kind of life-metric tracking that Apple's iOS users are getting in iOS 8 with HealthKit. 

Google Auto

Google also announced Android Auto, a project to make the OS friendlier for car-based apps, particularly in the areas of communication, music, and navigation. Android Auto is voice-enabled to reduce distractions. For instance, when you connect your Android phone to your car (via cable in the demo), the Android Auto UI appears on the car's display. You then use the car's controls and voice commands to navigate Android Auto, even though the apps are running on the phone.

Android TV

Google announced its own Android TV, which brings Android's strengths, such as mobile content and voice input, to TVs. The OS works with virtual controller apps running on a phone or tablet, or with compatible TV remotes. Google is shooting for simplicity here, a clear departure from the overly complex Google TV, which at one point supported a QWERTY keyboard and full Web browsing. Android TV's main screen has content recommendations and links to installed apps like Netflix and iHeartRadio. You also can stream music or video directly from an Android device to a compatible TV or set-top box.

Chrome OS and Android Integration Seamlessly
Google wants more enterprises to adopt its platforms, apps, and services. It's undertaking a variety of projects to achieve this goal, but one effort that really stands out is called Native Office Editing. Google says it has integrated native editing of Microsoft Office documents into Google Docs. This means that when you get a Microsoft Word file via email, you can edit it as a Word doc in Google Docs. In the past, Google would've converted the Word doc to a Google Docs file.
