Biggest things to possibly expect this year:

- More info on Android Wear

- Android 5.0 (L)?

- Hardware updates on Nexus tablets, Chromebook Pixel

- Android Silver

- Google Fit

- Google Glass updates

- Android TV & More Chromecast apps

Starts next Wednesday, June 25th 11 AM CST.

There should be a live stream for it on YouTube similar to last year.

Interested to see if the Nexus line is put six feet under like the rumors suggest, or if they'll announce one more iteration.

I think the rumors are true and the nexus is dead.

Always love to see what Google has up its sleeve.

I've been jonesing for an 8" tablet for a long time. Not a Samsung, maybe LG. I hope there's a Nexus 8.

Seconded. The Nexus 7 is sweet, but just a little small.

Thanks. Still holding out hope for a Nexus 8, otherwise I will probably pull the trigger on the G Pad.

Very curious on the rumored interface overhaul and closer integration with Chrome OS of Android 5.0 "Lollipop".

Same with me. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the LG GPad 8.3 Google Edition until I hear about Nexus 8 next week.

Plus I've reach that Samsung is refreshing their 10 inch tablet this year but i think the Nexus 8 will be the perfect.

I hope we learn more about the moto 360. I know LG's G watch will be making an appearance.

I've figured 8 is perfect for me. Call me crazy but I really don't want a hardware button (and I have a Galaxy S3 phone) so the LG is the one for now.

Yeah, this is what I'm hoping for too. Really curious as to when it's slated to be released.

This might be the new Nexus tablet made by HTC.

With Android Silver rumors brewing, and LG's Ken Hong indicating that the manufacturer doesn't have a Nexus phone in the cards, the fate of the Nexus line as a whole has been sort of up in the air.
We don't have news about whether a Nexus phone exists, but we do have information related to HTC's Volantis (or Flounder), an 8.9" Nexus tablet. The information provided to us indicates possible specs, features, and pricing, as well as an early look at the form factor, though the images we have don't appear to be final renderings of the device.
This information won't be treated as a rumor, since we feel confident in our information, and we've heard about Volantis from multiple sources as early as Q1 2014, and this is one of the rare instances where we will be sharing a source image.
According to our information, the tablet is internally referred to as the Nexus 9, though this name could change before it comes to market. Here's what we've heard so far in the specs department:
8.9" Display at 2048x1440 (281ppi)
NVIDIA Logan 64-bit processor (Tegra K1)
2GB RAM
16/32GB internal storage
8MP OIS main camera, 3MP front facing camera
Aluminum zero-gap construction
Stereo front-facing speakers
8.91"x5.98"x0.31" body (that's 22.63x15.19x0.79cm)
418g (or 427g with LTE) (that's 14.74/15.1 ounces)
For reference, the 2013 Nexus 7 is 0.34" thick, and weighs 290g (or 299g with LTE). Samsung's new Galaxy Tab S 8.4, meanwhile, is a svelte 0.26" thick, weighing in at 298g, making Volantis thicker and heavier, though aluminum construction comes with heft compared to plastic.
For those curious about the Tegra K1's performance, check here, here, here, and here.

In the article, they note that they aren't expecting this for Google I/O though.

Looks great and I was hoping to see HTC be the company. I'm getting greedy but the rumor of starting at $399 seems expensive for what you'd expect for a Nexus price point.
