Here’s a quick look at some of the announcements Google made at I/O 2013:

Android & Google Play:

In addition to new developer tools, Google unveiled Google Play Music All Access, a monthly music subscription service with access to millions of songs that joins Google music store and locker; and the Google Play game services with real-time multiplayer and leaderboards. Also, coming next month to Google Play is a special Samsung Galaxy S4, which brings together cutting edge hardware from Samsung with Google’s latest software and services—including the user experience that ships with Google's popular Nexus devices.

Chrome :

Today Google previewed next-generation video codec VP9 for faster video-streaming performance; the request Autocomplete API for faster payments; and Chrome Experiments such as "A Journey Through Middle Earth" and Racer to demonstrate the ability to create immersive mobile experiences not possible in years past.

Google+: 

Google unveiled the newly designed Google+, which helps you easily explore content as well dramatically improve your online photo experience to give you crisp, beautiful photos—without the work! Google also upgraded Google+ Hangouts to help bring all of your real-life conversations online, across any device or platform, and with groups of up to 10 friends.

Search: 

Search has evolved considerably in recent years: it can now have a real conversation with you, and even make your day a bit smoother by predicting information you might need. Today we added the ability to set reminders by voice and we previewed “spoken answers” on laptops and desktops in Chrome—meaning you can ask Google a question and it will speak the answer back to you.

Maps: 

Today Google previewed the next generation of Google Maps, which gets rid of any clutter in order to put your individual experience and exploration front and center. Each time you click or search, Google's technology draws you a tailored map that highlights the information you need. From design to directions, the new Google Maps is smarter and more useful.
