As hardware and design becomes less of a differentiator for smartphones and tablets, Google shifts focus to better app tooling for Android.

Friday's Google I/O presentation on the Android SDK build system featured the new Gradle plug-in, which Google now prefers to Ant.

In a Google I/O Q&A session, Google CEO Larry Page noted that strained corporate relationships have slowed web advancement and stymied Google product interoperability. Still, "Opportunities in computing abound," he said.

Developers hungry for Key Lime Pie 5.0 might have left Google I/O hungry but Android Studio, based on JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA for Java (Community Edition), received a warm welcome.

In this showcase we designed a simple but yet very effective and useful contact page. For the beautiful drop effects we used the Advanced CSS Animator and DMXzone Google Maps for the location.

Last week we published an amazing hotel showcase with stunning animations and image display, and today we offer you another one that will be featured in the upcoming Grand hotel template. The contact page is very neat and simple but useful and impressive, and is designed with two DMXzone extensions only. Stay tuned for the official release, when you will be able to purchase all 5 pages in a template package and customize them quickly for your needs. Note that HTML5 Slideshow and HTML5 Parallax Slider are used in this template, so purchase them today with 50% discount!
