Seemed to be a bit of an emphasis on Gaming, including the 'cloud' aspect, does this mean they're releasing/announcing something either in general or as part of Key Lime Pie?

Either way, my inner geek does look forward to the IO keynote :) Also going to be interesting to see what, if any, changes for the Nexus range, from what I can tell it seems a new Nexus 7 is likely and maybe a storage bump for the Nexus 4, which would be good, would be very tempted by a 16Gb Nexus 4 for £239...
 
Today is the day then, stream starts at 5pm. Rumours circulating that a stock Android S4 "Google edition" will be announced at the event and perhaps handed out for free to attendees.

edit: I've edited my comment about 3 times now.

I just don't see this happening.

Yeah. That really doesn't seem likely. Samsung is all about differentiating itself from stock android. Wouldn't be surprised with a 4G Nexus 4 though.

this is annoying considering i only bought my s4 couple days ago.

i wonder if it will be subsidized and do you think the rom from the GE can be flashed on the samsung variant
 
To be honest I'll be surprised if there's any hardware announcements at all.

I think the main focus will be on Glass and Android 4.3.

Take it with a massive pinch of salt. There's always loads of crappy rumors before I/O.
