IO 2024 lineup confirmed – 5 new things we’re expecting to see, from Wear OS 5 to Gemini wizardry

IO 2024 is approaching fast, with the big G’s festival for Android 15, Wear OS 5, Android TV and more kicking off on May 14. And we now have an official schedule to give us some hints of the software (and maybe hardware) announcements in the pipeline.

) naturally doesn’t reveal any specifics, but it does confirm where we’ll see some big new software upgrades.

The keynote, which will be well worth tuning into, will kick off at 10am PT / 5pm GMT on May 14 (which works out as 3am AEST in Australia). But the details of the follow-up sessions give us a taster of what will be shown off, including our first proper look at Wear OS 5.

That’s confirmed in the

, which will help developers “discover the new features of Wear OS 5”. Considering the smartwatch platform appeared to be flirting with the

Graveyard not long ago, that’s good news. We’ll presumably hear more about a release date at the event, and maybe even a Pixel Watch 3.

What else does the schedule reveal? Android 15 was always a shoo-in for this year’s show, so it’s no surprise that the OS will be covered alongside “generative AI, form factors” and more at

Thirdly, AI will naturally be a huge general theme, with

Gemini a consistent thread across the event. Developers will discover “new ways to build immersive 3D maps” and how to make “next-gen AI apps with Gemini models”. Gemini will also power new apps for

Fans of Android Auto will also be pleased to hear that it’ll likely get some upgrades, too, with one developer session titled “Android for Cars: new in-car experiences”. Likewise,

TV and Android TV OS will get a mention, at the very least, with one session promising to show off “new user experience enhancements in

Lastly, ChromeOS will get some upgrades, with

Because

IO 2024 is a developer conference, its sessions are all themed around software – but we’ll almost certainly see lots of new hardware treats announced during the keynote, too.

On the phones front, the

This week, rumors about a refreshed Pixel Tablet (rather than a Pixel Tablet 2) suggested it could also make its bow at
