Google's annual I/O The developer conference is due on May 20 – and all the signs indicate that it is a big one.
Here we usually learn everything about Android, Google's Gemini Artificial Intelligence Assistant and all other platforms of the company, from Wear OS to Android Auto. But this week Google announced a virtual event entitled The Android Show: I/O Edition, which takes place a week earlier on May 13th at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 a.m.). A teaser video showed that Google's Sameer Samat, the President of the Android ecosystem, prepared in front of the camera and announced the show.
The Android show will probably examine all new functions that apply to Android 16, the next version of Google's mobile operating system. This break from the traditional process of announcing the latest Android at I/A indicates that the conference on May 20 will be packed with news in other areas and services.
Last year Android took the pressure that was mounted for Google to show his answer to Openas Chatgpt, a back seat to Gemini-related skills. This year we will probably see functions related to the personal context in Gemini – the ability of the assistant to understand you through past conversations and your associated Google services such as Google Mail and Calendar. It is also expected that we will learn more about Google Android XR from Google and maybe get an update about the company's upcoming smart glasses.
Rad Power Bikes debut a new Radrunner cast

The Direct-to-Consumer company Rad Power Bikes, which more or less created the entire DTC Electric Bike category and dominated for years, has recently struggled to layoffs and complaints to the recent quiet outcome of its new CEO and an increase in tariffs. In this chaotic environment, the company has announced three new updates for its best -selling Ebikes: the Radrunner, the Radrunner Plus and the new Radrunner max.
The Radrunner and Radrunner Plus are the company's two popular supply bikes (I see half a dozen every day while cycling in Portland, Oregon), and upgrades in the line will contain security functions such as Rad Power's Safe Shield last year. (The cells in the battery are now encapsulated like in a car to make them safer in the unlikely case of a battery edge.) They will also contain other upgrades such as the Passcode protection and the IPX6 weather protection.
The most exciting start is the Radrunner Max, now the high-end bike runner model, a class 3 electric bike. It is only a pedal assistant with a top speed of 28 miles per hour. It has 60 miles and works with Apple Find My Network, so you can track whether it is stolen, no air day needs. A new digital key unlock the bike while approaching, and Radar shows it when cars or other bicycles approach. The company also debut about a new extender area, which is compatible with all three models. The Radrunner is available for 1,499 US dollars and the Radrunner Plus is $ 1,799. You can pre -order the Radrunner Max for 2,299 US dollars and the Range extender for 249 US dollars for delivery in early May. —ADENNE SO
