Google’s big developer conference, Google IO, kicks off today. For smartphone fans, our pals at AndroidCentral will bring you wall-to-wall coverage of Google IO, including a keynote liveblog at 9 PDT today. Google is expected to unveil the next version of the Android smartphone OS, Froyo, which could put some pressure on webOS.
IO isn’t just about Android, though, and so Palm is there too. They have a booth in Google’s "Developer Sandbox," where lots of vendors can show off their wares. Presumably they’ll be showing off how nicely Google integrates into Palm’s Synergy sync system. If you’re at Google IO, stop on by, say howdy, and take a look at Project Ares, the web-friendliest mobile app development environment around.
We’ve long felt that Palm and Google go well together – heck, webOS seems to jive with Google’s overall web-centric philosophy better than Android itself does. We do wish that we could see some improved Google services on webOS – Gmail and Google Maps in particular could use a little love. What Google products would you like to see work better in webOS?
