Iβm incredibly excited to share that I recently had the privilege of attending Google I/O 2025, thanks to a special invite from the Google Developer Team! π¨
While the event was open for everyone online, receiving a personal invitation felt like a huge milestone in my journey as a developer. It wasnβt just another tech eventβit felt like stepping into the future with the people building it. πβ¨
Note: I received an official invitation from the Google Developer Team for Google I/O 2025.
However, I attended the event online via YouTube, not at the live, in-person venue.
πΈ Android 16 Vibes
Thereβs a lot of buzz around Android 16, especially in terms of UI/UX upgrades, CSS transitions, and smoother animation frameworks.

- Marenia β Multi-modal AI reasoning model.
- Starline β 3D lifelike holographic video calls.

Thanks @ben , glad you liked it!
insane vibes getting that kind of invite honestly, stuff like that actually makes me wanna push harder too - you think itβs more about luck or just showing up over and over till it finally clicks?
Thank you @nevodavid ! I believe it's more about consistent effort, learning, and engaging with the community over time.
Opportunities like this tend to align when passion meets persistence.
While talking about Android, have you ever wondered who really leads the global market share?

That's huge! Totally agree, every year their AI announcements just get crazier - canβt wait for the Android 16 deep dive. Was it the HTC Dream that first shipped Android?
Thanks a lot, @dotallio! π Totally agreeβGoogleβs AI announcements truly stole the spotlight this year.
And yep, you're rightβit was the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 that first shipped Android.
Excited to share the Android 16 deep dive soonβstay tuned! π‘π±
Hello! Happy for you. Could you please provide more information about Veo 3? It would be cool to read. Thanks!
Hi @vadym_info_polus ! π Thank you for your interest. Iβve shared detailed information about Veo 3 in my previous post β feel free to check it out on my profile. Let me know what you think!
Well i guess it was HTC no ?, who first developed OS based mobile.
Spot on @jalajb ! IBM Simon (1994) was the first OS-based mobile but didnβt succeed commercially.
Later, BlackBerry (early 2000s), iOS (2007), and Android (Linux-based, 2008) really shaped the market.
These platforms brought the touchscreen OS revolution we know today! π±
