Google I/O is a little over a month away and as we get ready for the onslaught of rumors and ticket scalpers, Google has posted the Sessions Calendar for you to start planning your 3-day boot camp. If you’re part of the Android infantry, you’ll find plenty of drills to participate in, with 20 events already scheduled and more sure to come.

I’m absolutely flabbergasted! I thought for sure the higher price tag of this year’s Google I/O would prevent it from selling out in under an hour. Boy was I wrong! It only took 28 minutes for Google I/O 2012 to sell out and I’m pretty sure that’s a new record. Well that’s about all I have to say about that. Hopefully you were able to snag yourself a ticket within that first 28 minutes, otherwise get ready to take a second mortgage out for a ticket via eBay.

Just a quick reminder that registration for Google I/O kicks off tomorrow. Registration will open at 7:00 a.m. PDT and will most likely sell out within the hour. Then again, this year’s prices have double from $450 to $900 so there’s a chance it may take a few more hours to sell out but be warned — it will sell out! You’ll need a G+ account to register and Google Wallet to make payment so make sure you’re prepared beforehand.

Vic Gundotra took to Google+ today to announce the registration date for this year’s Google I/O. The developer conference — which has been extended to a 3-day event — will be open for registration on March 27 at 7 a.m. PDT. Registration is first-come first-serve and this year’s ticket prices will have you running to your nearest pawn shop. Tickets have doubled in price from $450 to $900! This should trim down all the johns attending the event in hopes of scoring a free device, or simply trying to scalp their tickets on Ebay, but still… ouch!

I had been looking forward to the Google I/O keynote for weeks before it kicked off Thursday. I was rubbing my hands together like a little kid on Christmas morning when Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president, took to the stage to reveal what the company had up its sleeve.

But when the event ended two and a half hours later, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. Santa had visited — but instead of bringing what was on my list, he’d left me with a bunch of cheap gifts I knew I’d be bored with by the time the turkey was cooked.
