"Welcome," my Google I/O conference letter reads. Along with the letter, I received my very own unique bar code to check into the conference, which kicks off next week in San Francisco. Aside from the
bar code, Google also provides a QR code.
The letter reads: "We encourage everyone to 'go green' this year! If your bar code is viewable on your mobile device, keep this email handy on your
device so we can scan directly from your phone."
I don't have a phone running Android. But if I did, Google has provided me with a downloadable official conference app for easy access to the
conference schedule, venue maps, session content, and info on the participating Sandbox companies.
It also would let me search for star sessions and the Android Market for Google I/O 2010 or
scan the QR code they provide. The letter also tells me I would need to run Eclair or higher to use this application.
Cheers!
