Google I/O is less than a week away, and that means it’s almost time for another Android Show event to break down everything happening in the Android ecosystem. The Android Show: I/O Edition will stream live on YouTube and the official Android website starting at 10AM PT / 1PM ET on Tuesday, May 12th.
Drawing from last year’s format, this year’s broadcast is expected to be concise, likely wrapping up in under 30 minutes.
