Everything We Expect Google To Announce At Its Biggest Event Of The Year Next Week

Google's biggest event of the year, the I/O developers conference, kicks off next week with a lengthy three-hour (!) keynote where the company is expected to go over a slew of new products and services that'll be rolling out in the weeks to come. 

Of course nothing is official yet, but there are already plenty of rumblings about what to expect from Google next week. Here's what we know so far, plus some speculation of other stuff we expect Google to address.

Android Updates

Early consensus seems to be that Google will announce a new version of its mobile operating system Android. However, it will likely just be a minor update to the current version and keep the same "Jelly Bean" branding it's had since last year's I/O conference. Many were expecting Google to announce a new version called 5.0 Key Lime Pie at I/O this year, but we don't have any evidence that such an update is ready yet

A New Tablet 

Most are expecting Google to unveil an updated version of its 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet. The tablet originally debuted at last year's I/O, and was a big hit with reviewers for packing in great features at an incredible value. (The Nexus 7 sells for $199.)

According to some reports, the next-generation Nexus 7 will be made by Asus and have a sharper display, faster processor, wireless charging, and a slimmer body. It should also maintain that $199 starting price.

There's also a chance Google will announce the Nexus 11, an 11-inch tablet made by Samsung.
