We’re here at the Google campfire event, where Google is celebrating the first birthday of App Engine and is planning planning to unveil new developer-related features. The event is being held in Google’s Building 43 instead of an outdoor amphitheater because of rain, but Google has decked out the room with a virtual fireplace, log podium, and atmospheric lighting. At this point Google hasn’t publicly announced what

they’re launching tonight. We’ve heard that Java might be coming soon , but that could also be coming at Google’s I/O conference next month. We’ll begin live blogging as soon as the event begins. For now, we’re live streaming video from inside the virtual campfire. Crunch Network : CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.
