The Game Center Sounds Cool, continuing the game play from diff device ,LEADERBOARDS. However all I'm looking forward is to hear those MAGIC words "NEXUS 4 INDIA LAUNCH."

Watched half an hour of the conference. Game Center announced with MP, achievements, leaderboards etc

There is cloud save too like Steam. You can play level 1 of a game on PC and continue level 2 on tablet. These service will also be available on iOS.
New maps API is also very interesting.

this happens every time. those who visit Google I/O carry something cool which cost more than the ticket. Reason why thousands of tickets sell out in a few minutes.

The Next Version of Android - Some of What's Coming. I like Google. they rarely use leaks as a way to increase hype, specially anything related to core feature set of Android.
