Were you hoping for some announcement about the upcoming 5 or 6 Nexus devices? And were you surprised that there wasn’t one? Also when do you think we will start to here leaks/info about them?

And here is the documentation on the developer site (Geeks Only). States currently only supports 16-bit 44.1 kHz (same as CDs) but others may be added in the future:

Here is what Google says about it on the developer site:

USB AudioUSB audio output support allows hardware vendors to build hardware such as audio docks that interface with Android devices. This functionality is also exposed with the Android Open Accessory Development Kit (ADK) to give all developers the chance to create their own hardware.

Sooo… A strange question, When do you guys use your tablets? (and for what?) Because I can’t really figure out why I would need one (I really want to need one), I’m really excited for the N7, but can’t really justify it regardless of the price without knowing what to do with it… hah.

I haven’t read anything yet on when 4.1goes to the masses. Is their a release date for when JellyBean will roll out to Nexus, Samsung and Motorola phones on Verizon?

Stupid question but when you buy a nexus 7 off the play store can you go to any carrier and activate it as a line ?

What was your favorite part of I/O other than the devices? I mean like what event or experience was most enjoyable?

Did Google give all the attendees swag bags and, if so, what all was in them?

Did Google have a Q&A session of their own and, if so, can you post a transcript?

Do you think the PDK will result in new Android devices other than phones and tablets?

Do you think the Nexus 7 would be perfect to use with Microsoft’s SmartGlass?

Was there any discussion at I/O about Android being embedded into automobiles?

What do you think of having Nexus 7 tablets embedded into commercial airline seatbacks?

What are your predictions for the future of Google Glass?

Have you ever tried upgrading hardware in a laptop, other than RAM or a hard drive? It’s not as easy to upgrade a laptop as it is to upgrade a desktop. Now imagine that scaled down to phone size. The reasons we can’t build or customize cellphones are because it would be too difficult and not cost-effective.

OEMs get components cheaper than we ever could because they buy in bulk. They do the research and development because they can afford to. Phone internals are not standardized like PC internals. They are not designed to be upgraded or built by consumers. The parts are so tiny that they have to be assembled by robots(or Chinese children, lol). Any way you slice it, it is both cheaper and easier to buy a pre-made phone.

That being said, you can sort of build your own with Bug Labs. It just won’t be as small or pretty.
