Google shifts Android news to a virtual event ahead of its I/O developer conference | TechCrunch
Briefly

Google is hosting a separate virtual event for Android updates before the Google I/O conference to share extensive news about the Android ecosystem. This decision suggests a sizable increase in focus on AI during the main event, indicating a strategic shift in Google's presentation priorities. The company insists that the move is due to the vast amount of Android information to share, while Android will still be featured prominently in keynotes and sessions during I/O.
The decision to move the Android portion of Google I/O to its own separate event suggests this year's developer conference could be even more AI-heavy than usual.
Google states there were "so many new things to share" about Android that it chose to create a special event, the I/O edition of its Android Show.
