Live blogging Google I/O: Wednesday’s keynote
Vic Gundotra, VP of Google
Google search volume for HTML5 has increased by a lot since last year's Google I/O.
There is supposed to be a surprise for tomorrow's 8:30 am keynote
Sundar Pichai, Google VP
From 2004-2009, +117% time spent on web vs every other information medium has remained the same or declined.
2004, web changed from documents to applications. Web applications started replacing desktop applications.
Computers ship with powerful GPUs, how can web app access? APIs to access workers, local filesystem.
24 months ago, no Chrome. 12 months later, a lot more APIs implemented by a lot more browsers. By end of year, all major APIs are going to be present in all modern browsers (except IE, which will have some)
More mobile searches hit Google with HTML5-enabled mobile browsers than non-HTML5 mobile browsers.
Charles Pritchard, MugTug
Application called Darkroom. HTML 4, app was bandwidth intensive. Using HTML5, moves to the client-side. Local storage. Quick to load, quick to close and quick to use. Previewing on latest build of Chrome.
Built using JavaScript and Canvas.
Jim Lanzone, Clicker
For TV. Clicker.tv. Canvas, web worker threads. Just start typing, no need to use the search box. Nice demo.
Google thinks video should be high quality and open. Spent a lot acquiring On2.
Announcing today, completely open sourcing VP8. Royalty-free. Project London well built; high-quality video built into platform with full-screen capability. Nightly builds available now.

Hakon, Opera
Tim didn't patent HTML, Hakon didn't patent CSS, Brendan didn't patent JavaScript
http://labs.opera.com/
Download Opera with webm support in it at above URL.
Hakon's demo, only img is from video. Rest is CSS, canvas. CSS transitions.
To web community, we need to start using this. To Google, thank you for getting webm off the ground and releasing it.
Kevin Lynch, Adobe CTO
Adobe is supporting HTML5.
- Dreamweaver CS5 will include multi-screen preview to see how it displays across different devices. Same HTML5 markup, but with different stylesheets attached. Code completion for HTML5. Support for transitions and better preview mode.
- Enabling better authoring tool support for HTML5, CSS3, SVG.
- Going to embed VP8 codec in Flash player.
Problems that remain
Difficult for people to locate web applications. Since 2004, the main way that applications are getting written. No way to get ratings, reviews, etc. Unlike old physical stores or other site reviews. Easier to locate apps on mobile stores.
Developers need discovery, reach and monetization.
Chrome Web Store
Terry McDonell, Editor, Sports Illustrated
Omg. Sports Illustrated. Demoing an HTML5 version of SI via the Chrome App Store. Tightly edited, curated, free take on sports you can customize by re-arranging it. Looks good, but why free?
At the last moment, mentioned the ability to charge for it. Which makes sense.
Chrome has gone from 30 million to 70 million users since July 2009.
Chrome Web Store is coming soon. Chrome + Chrome OS. 40+ languages supported.
Lars Rasmussen
Google Wav is open today. Time to revisit. I remember not really liking wave when I played with it last year.
The in-browser editor is getting open-sourced today.
David Glazer, Engineering Director, Google
More web applications at work. Social software, transportation mgmt, supply chain planning, talent mgmt, travel booking system, warehouse mgmt, etc.
1. It takes too long to build apps
2. Employees work everywhere, on all devices.
3. Apps are trapped
4. Too many apps to manage
Fast and familiar development, bovile-ready, flexible deployment, powerful app management
Google <3 VMware
