Google I/O 2017 takes place between May 17-19

It looks like Google will be hosting its upcoming Google I/O 2017 event between May 17-19, returning to the Shoreline Amphitheater - at least according to a cryptic puzzle that some people online have purportedly worked out.

TechCrunch reports: "Last year's event at the Shoreline Amphitheatre marked the first time Google held its biggest developer event outdoors and in its own backyard. There were definitely a few growing pains, but Google will hopefully have a new system in place this year to avoid the long lines for both seeing panels and getting food".

What to expect from Google I/O? We don't know yet - but we should expect some exciting things - maybe a tease of a new Pixel smartphone... Android 8.0... and hopefully lots more.
