Google I/O is always brimming full of nerdy tidbits, but the closest the general enthusiast class gets to learning all about the best of what's going on at the company is with the main keynote. We'll be getting to some of the grittier stuff next week, but this week, the Android Police podcast is covering just some of the shiny objects from the show. 3:59 | Let's talk about the non-Android, non-hardware stuff first. I know, I know. This is why we have timecodes. https://www.androidpolice.com/google-search-local-multisearch-scene-exploration/ (Google Search's recently introduced multisearch feature is about to get way more useful) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-my-ad-center/ (Google will give you more choice over the ads you see with My Ad Center) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-assistant-look-and-talk-nest-hub-max/ (You can now Look and Talk to Google Assistant on your Nest Hub Max) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-announces-ai-powered-document-summaries-in-google-docs/ (Google announces AI-powered document summaries in Google Docs) 17:13 | A few developments in and around Android... https://www.androidpolice.com/android-13-beta-2/ (Android 13 Beta 2 launches today for Pixels and select third-party devices) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-activated-one-billion-new-android-devices/ (Google activated over one billion new Android devices last year) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-updating-20-apps-tablets/ (More than 20 Google apps are getting tablet-centric updates) https://www.androidpolice.com/android-auto-is-almost-ready-for-split-screen-mode-as-streaming-video-apps-come-to-automotive/ (Android Auto is almost ready for split screen mode as streaming video apps come to Automotive) 26:00 | Alright, here's what you've been waiting for. https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-6a-announcement/ (Google Pixel 6a lands in July with Tensor in tow and a $449 price tag) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-7-io/ (Google teases Pixel 7 & 7 Pro with redesigned cameras, new colors, and fall release date) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-watch-io-2022/ (The Google Pixel Watch is official, and it’s coming ‘this fall’ alongside the Pixel 7) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-buds-pro-announcement/ (Google's Pixel Buds Pro are arriving in July for $199 with ANC, multipoint, and Silent Seal for a perfect fit) https://www.androidpolice.com/tensor-tablet-google-io-2022/ (Google is making a Tensor-powered Android tablet, coming in 2023) https://www.androidpolice.com/google-io-google-glass-reincarnated/ (Google teases standalone AR glasses with an unknown release date) Some family notes: we want to thank Taylor Kerns for helping us launch the pod revival. He's still with Android Police, but has decided to step away from the mic. We're happy, though, to introduce Will Sattelberg as our new, permanent co-host. Meanwhile, Daniel will be off on paternity leave for the next couple of weeks, but we'll keep the seat hot — stay tuned and thanks for subscribing and rating the show, we appreciate it.

We're in a gap week between the Android 13 beta drop and Google I/O and we're talking about what we would do if we dropped a highlighter-yellow Pixel Bud in snow that someone peed on.

That's specifications speculation to you. Welcome back to another week here at Android Police.
