Like most events this year, Google I/O is going virtual (again) in 2021.
Am I shocked that it's a virtual event again this year? No. Do I want to know what you're hoping to see and/or hear from Google? Absolutely I do.
Personally, I won't be as eager to see the new Pixel phones (if any) since I bought an iPhone earlier this year. But I'm still looking forward to seeing what the next version of Android looks like. Let me know what features, products, whatever you're hoping for in this new SaaSOps Community Thread. |
