Apps at Google I/O: Slides, Android TV remote control, MS Office support and more!

Google flagged off the I/O developer conference by introducing Android L, Android Auto, Android TV and more. Along with the nifty software and hardware announcements, the search giant also introduced a couple of new apps that are now available on the Play Store.   Firstly, Google has announced ’native’ Office document editing support for Google Docs.  Users can now import documents by preserving all of Microsoft Office’s formatting. Without mentioning Microsoft, Google made it quite clear that it will allow users to save files as Word files. Users can also convert files to Google Docs format mid-edit. Google **Docs and Sheets** standalone apps were recently launched for Andorid and iOs users, and finally Slides joins the convoy.   The Slides app is also available on Google Play store for editing presentations on mobile devices. It now allows users to “create and share mobile slides straight from your mobile devices,” Pichai said during the keynote. Editing presentation has been a long-awaited demand from Android users.   A couple of hours after the keynote, the Android TV Remote app also made it to the Play store. It helps users control all the Android TV devices. As we know that Android TV wont come until late this year, it has been designed for the developer kit that was announced at the event  and the reason why Google has made it available on the Play store.  Moreover, it is believed to be working with all current Android devices.   Along with the Android TV remote,  the Google Cast Receiver is also available on the Play store. This app is designed to turn your Android TV into a Chromecast-enabled device. Only developers with access to the developer kit can try out the full functionality of this app.
