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.
