"Does Google deserve a "free pass" for I/O 2013 in light of choosing to polish their current portfolio of services instead of announcing new software and hardware?"

Brandon Scoggins No.

Tim Feierabend I wouldn't coin it as a "free pass" but I am glad they are polishing all the services that they have for the future. They already have a good selection of online services I don't see why they should announce and work on more.

Lukasz Dudek I did not expect any new devices.

Lanh Nguyen Like Taylor Martin who's now with pocketnow said Google announcing a new version of android last year at IO was an anomaly. Typically the next version always comes in the fall with the release of a new nexus phone. This is a developers conference after all so they weren't doing anything different from what they did prior to last year. More than likely they will refresh everything in the fall.
