Google I/O 2015: Hoy se nos podrían presentar dos nuevos Sticks de Google, un Chrome OS portátil y el Chromecast 2
A falta de poco más de tres horas para el comienzo oficial del Google I/O 2015, o lo que es lo mismo la conferencia anual de desarrolladores de Google que vais a poder seguir en directo aquí en Androidsis, se especula ya con fuerza de la posible presentación oficial de dos nuevos Sticks de Google que la verdad nos parecen muy pero que muy interesantes.
