Google knows that this is a developer conference right? I feel like I'm at CES. I don't care about any of their apps unless there is some really cool integrations I can do. Talk API's or this is just noise.

Well, this is the keynote, which is generally used to debut things and get people (and especially the press) excited about the new things. I'd expect the subsequent sessions will have more developer specific details.

Google knows that this part is being watched by lots of people. This is where most media coverage will come from that the average user will encounter.

Currently listening to details about full disk encryption, when/how shaders are compiled for graphics improvements, SELinux improvements, etc. Seems like a developer conference for sure!

  I know! Finally! Of course I can't help but see that the message Google took away from Stagefright was that they needed to harden their media frameworks rather than needing OS level security updates for all devices.

They put a pretty good show on Android Studio and Firebase.

Yeah, the first day is a huge hype show. All the journalists buzz around, and all the product managers/execs/reps are there to show off for them. For example, when I went, the wi-fi was horrible, basically unusable - except if you were in media. If you were media, then you got your own area to connect to better internet. That said, the subsequent days were noticeably quiet in comparison. Not too many people there to actually go to dev talks, etc. It's very relaxed by then.

IIRC, its pretty typical for the front end of the I/O keynote to be loaded with items that are somewhat less immediate and burning interest to developers but greater interest to consumer-oriented press, and the back end to have the big new developer-focused offerings. This keynote seemed to follow that pattern.
