Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 3:17:51 PMGreetings from the Google I/O press line! I think I know why they call it "press." We're getting ready to file in...
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 3:21:40 PMWe heard the nerd cry from the floor down below (non-press) shouting their excitement. Rachel King says, "It's like Braveheart."
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 3:30:28 PMAnd we're in!
-
Tony 5/15/2013 3:30:37 PMI think we will see some huge changes to google maps,
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:47:55 PMThere is a never ending list of related tracks. And can look ahead to what is coming next and if you don't like it, swipe away.

Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:48:27 PMThis is radio without rules. Lean back or interact. You can also move songs up so you listen to it sooner.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:48:30 PMGoogle's new music subscription is also interesting because it's challenging Pandora and other apps that have in part made Android's app store so successful.
-
seth.rosenblatt 5/15/2013 4:48:48 PMI wonder how much of the Knowledge Graph fuels All Access
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:48:56 PMYou are blending your own catalog with thousands of other tracks available in All Access. That is pretty cool.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:49:05 PM
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:49:14 PMMoving songs up is really cool because that's something you can't do on Pandora, Slacker, and the rest.
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:49:18 PMMy library now includes my own music and music that discovered through All Access.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:49:49 PM
Listen Now
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:50:07 PMListen Now can go right to a radio station or play list already created to make it easier to just get to music.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:50:09 PMI'm wondering now if this music recommendation engine also learns from the rest of your Google interactions: artists you search for on Google, bands you mention on Google+, etc. I'm not sure if I think that's cool or not, like a Google Now for music.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:50:41 PM
All Access on web
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:50:54 PMCan enjoy All Access on all Android devices.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:51:13 PMThe $10 per month price is pretty typical, so that's cool. U.S. launch first.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:51:25 PM
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:51:31 PMAll Access is $9.99 a month but you also get a 30 day free trial. And it's launching today in US and additional countries soon. If you start by June 30 you get it for $7.99 a month.
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:51:48 PMHmm that sounds pretty cool. I am cheap but I may even have to sign up for this.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:52:06 PMSo that's how they're doing it. $8 per month is cheaper than Pandora by $2 per month.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:52:06 PM
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:52:14 PMHugo is back on stage. And there is a device announcement!
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:52:39 PMThis is not a giveaway he says. But he is gearing up to tell us about a new product.
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:53:09 PMHugo is showing off the Samsung GS4. And will show off a new home screen.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:53:16 PMI'm not sure why we're clapping at the image of his home screen...Am I missing something?
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:53:40 PM
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:53:57 PMOooh, it's the Samsung Galaxy S4 with the pure Android Nexus skin.
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:54:04 PMThis is a Samsung Galaxy S4 running the Nexus Android.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:54:10 PM
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:54:37 PMUnlocked version will be available on AT&T And T-Mo LTE support 16GB Bootloader unlocked and will get updates when tehey come up.
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:54:44 PMSamsung must be beaming from ear-to-ear. I think this is going to sell like hotcakes. $649 on Google Play.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:54:51 PM
-
Jessica Dolcourt 5/15/2013 4:55:01 PMYou can buy it June 26, by the way.
-
James Martin 5/15/2013 4:55:44 PM
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:55:48 PMSundar is now coming back on stage and looks like we are now moving onto Chrome.
-
seth.rosenblatt 5/15/2013 4:55:51 PMGoofing and Memes get a shout-out in Chrome preview video
-
Marguerite Reardon 5/15/2013 4:56:08 PMSo I guess this means no updated Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 device. Bummer.
-
stephen.shankland 5/15/2013 4:56:37 PMWe're seeing a Google Chrome ad now. Unfortunately, it's the one I hate the most with the butchered version of Beethoven's 5th symphony. And now Sundar Pichai is back on stage.
