Google I/O: What to Expect in 2016

Messaging and chat bots: 

Messaging is hot right now and chat bots are even hotter. Google has been working on a new messaging app that combines the two, and given the expansion of the messaging space this year, it'd be a surprise for Google to waste time and wait much longer to get its solution ready for the market. The latest reports point out that Google is working on a WhatsApp-like messenger, tied to your phone number, that'll let you talk with friends and chat bots.

An Echo competitor: 

Google wants to put its voice assistant in other devices, just as Amazon has done with the Echo and Alexa. The Information reported that some sort of "voice recognition device" is in the works, and last week Recode backed that up.

AND MAYBE A LOT MORE

Other updates: The market has been rife with rumors, but there haven't been rumors about any specific announcements. It's been just over a year since Google unveiled the Pixel, and alongside a Chrome OS refresh could be an auspicious time to launch a new one. Android One, Google's project to refine Android for developing markets, has been on hold for two years running. And it's been a while since we heard any updates about Android Wear. Given the heavy Android discussion, don't be surprised if it gets some additional features, too.
