Here’s Engadget’s coverage of Google I/O.

The highlights are the Music beta, which is basically what was rumored; a home automation framework for Android devices, so they can control household appliances (very neat); a “made for iPod”-like program for third-party peripherals to work with Android devices over USB; and Android 3.1, which integrates all of Android’s different supported devices onto a single OS release.

Android 3.1 is interesting, because of how many devices it supports. What is Google doing with Chrome OS? These OSes are very different conceptually and at some point they’re going to have to choose one to run with.
