What to expect at Google I/O 2015
Google talks a lot. Unlike Apple, which primarily speaks through its public-facing product events that take place a few times a year, Google tends to announce updates to its products, along with new ones, with reliable regularity.
Nonetheless, Google usually saves much of its best stuff for Google I/O, its annual developer conference, which begins Thursday morning. Last year, it used the event to unveil Android TV, Android Auto and Android Lollipop (then just called "L"). It was also the launchpad for Android Wear.

That's a fairly tough act to follow, but not nearly as much as the two I/O's previous, one of which saw CEO Larry Page freestyle a Q&A session with developers while the other featured a spectacular skydiving stunt to hype Google Glass.
Google appears to have learned from those experiences, however, and even later admitted the Glass stunt ended up working against the product. As such, last year it scaled back the theatrics and took pains to keep the conversation developer-focused.
