Today concluded the second day of Google I/O 2012. The event was focused on Google Chrome and Chrome OS and users who missed the Google Glasses demo, got the opportunity to relive the spectacle from Day 01. The second days events were mostly targeted toward developers.For all those who missed the Live Stream and our Live blog, we have put together a summary of todays announcements.
Google Chrome was the main focus of the Day 02 keynote and we saw the debut of Google Chrome for iOS. While the iOS version is not as fast as its Android counterpart it is still great to enjoy the features of Google Chrome on your iPhone and iPad. Since Chrome syncs with your Google account, you can take your content from your computer while you are on the run.
Google Drive for iOS was also announced, bringing Google's cloud based suite and online storage to iPhone and iPad users. The app also offers offline editing features for Google Docs with great collaboration. This allows you to edit your documents offline and your content will quickly get updated when you are reconnected. You can see the contributions made by your team members and make changes accordingly.Google also promised their continuous commitment to Chrome OS and the Chromebook. Chromebooks will be available for demonstration and testing at Best Buy retail stores in the U.S. and Dixons in the U.K.
Google went on to demonstrate their Compute Engine, which will take on Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's Cloud Compute. The Compute Engine allows developers to run Linux virtual machines on Google's own infrastructure, and the outcome is quite amazing on the demo.
