Google IO 2019 liveblog: everything from the expected Pixel 3a launch
Today’s the day for Google IO 2019, with the event kicking off at 11AM PDT / 1PM EDT / 6PM BST – and our Google IO liveblog is your source for real-time keynote updates concerning the annual developers conference – straight from Mountain View, California.
It’s the only place you’ll need to come to find out everything that’s happening from the latest news and updates from the site, flashed from our fingers right as they happen.
We’re on the ground today, picked up our badge yesterday and waiting to deliver to you minute-by-minute updates about Android Q, Pixel 3a, and possible updates to Nest and the Google Home devices.
And, of course, we’ll also be the first to report on any other surprises. Sure, you can always check out the Google IO livestream video, but for people at work (supposedly working), this is where you need to stay locked for all the latest live updates.
Google IO liveblog: real-time updates
All times in Pacific Daylight Time
May 7, 1:09am: We’ve wrapped up our Google IO 2019 planning, and updating the liveblog one last time. Expect early morning updates soon.
Yesterday, 3pm PT: I have my Google IO badge. David Lumb and Nick Pino are also joining me to provide liveblog commentary. Only a few hours left before the keynote starts.

10:30am PT: Why is it that the Google Maps estimate for ridesharing apps is always why off (especially for Lyft?). Maybe this is something the company can fix at Google IO (in addition to quick Android updates and Messaging).

10am PT: We’re 24 hours from Google IO and have successfully made it from New York City to Mountain View, California (with a flight to nearby San Fransisco).
You can really see the difference in weather here in the Bay Area:
