Yes, it’s only December, and no, it’s never too early to start thinking about the next Google I/O. Grab your permanent markers and X off May 15-17 on your calenders. Wait a minute… what am I talking about, no one uses paper calendars anymore. Okay, mark your Google calenders, set your reminders, follow the hashtag #io13, and start saving your money, because Google I/O 2013 is only 162 days away.

If you thought scoring a Nexus 4 was a fiasco, last year, Google I/O 2012 sold out in a ridiculous 28 minutes. You can expect tickets to sell out just as fast, if not faster, this year. Of course, the tickets sell out for good reason — its a hell of an event!

Last year Google unveiled Jelly Bean, the Nexus 7, skydiving with Google glass, and more. This year, we’re hoping to see Key Lime Pie, more Google glass, and hopefully a surprise or two.

Now that the dates have been announced, be on the lookout for more information to start trickling down over the months to come. For up-to-date information, be sure to visit the source link below and add Google developers to your Google+ circles.
