Google I/O More Than Just Updates: Special Samsung Tablet Given

Google I/O is in its second day, of three days of events at San Francisco's Moscone Center, and surrounding Google's interest in bringing together developers to create the "next web."

The agenda consists of some interesting "breakout sessions," like "Best Practices for Accessing Google APIs on Android," "HTML5 Showcase for Web Developers: The Wow and the How," "ClientLogin #FAIL," and one going on now, and on live online "Don’t just build a mobile app. Build a business," by Wayne Pan, a former AdMob engineer, now Front-End Lead for Mobile Display Advertising at Google.

In it, Mr. Pan talks about how to "business on mobile apps so you can quit your day job." In the live stream, he talks about cross-promoting apps, and even how to calculate expected ad revenue from an app. Here's Mr. Pan, live:



The event is one that was not expensive to attend, considering the wealth of information, with prices as low as $150. Plus, attendees got something of expense as swag they couldn't buy: a Limited Edition Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Here's Morodroidlife to show what you and I missed getting:



Google also has these widely-reported news items about the growth of Android in just two and a half years:

100 million activated Android devices
400,000 new Android devices activated every day
200,000 free and paid applications available in Android Market
4.5 billion applications installed from Android Market

Stay tuned for more from Google I/O and a focus on Google Music.
