Updating Android Wear make the device more independent
The market of "smart" clock is still at the stage of formation. Despite the provided Google operating system for handheld devices, see the passers with a similar gadget on your wrist - a rare phenomenon. Nevertheless, the market is there, just as there is interest towards "smart accessories". Therefore, competition is only growing: Samsung, for example, produces a separate clock on its own OS Tizen, and about the "revolutionary iWatch» talk too do not cease. In other words, you can not mark time, and Google is well aware of.
In an interview with CNET CTO Android Wear David Singleton and vice president of engineering for Android Hiroshi Lokheymer shed some light on how the "wearable» Android will be developed in the near future.
Firstly, Google is not going to repeat the mistakes of Android, which led to some problems with the device update.
Tighter control over Android Wear will allow the company to issue updates without prior adaptation producers that are often highly addictive appearance updates on smartphones. Moreover, by the end of this year, the system should get a few updates, the first of which can "fly" this week.
As a result of "smart" watches have become more self-reliant. For example, for devices with integrated GPS will be able to monitor geolocation without the participation of the smartphone, and also add connectivity hours with Bluetooth-headsets. In other words, leaving the house for a run, the user will not need to take with your smartphone, watch yourself cope with current challenges at the moment - will listen to music, record a track, count calories. In short, everything is exactly as it should be.
In addition, Google also plans to implement a convenient way to create a "dial" third-party developers so that users can easily change them depending on your mood or whim. The dials, in turn, may show glasses sporting event in real time, the stock price, or any other specific information.
More independence Smart hours looks like moving in the right direction, especially considering their cost comparable with not the most technically backward smartphones. But will it be so, what was missing "smart" clock to become a mass product? I think not. There is still need something more.
