It is officail now. Moto 360 smartwatch dveloped by Google company, Motorola and running on Google’s Android Wear operating system, will be launched this summer. Only yesterday, Google has announced its new OS for wearable devices, Android Wear. LG was the first company to report that they will be introducing LG G smartwatch running Android Wear OS in the second quarter of 2014. Today, Motorola has mentioned that Moto 360 smartwatch is coming in iconic design, which will feature a round face and is made of premium materials. Motorola has mentioned in their blog that Moto 360 will be available in a variety of styles globally in Summer 2014, starting in the US. However, Motorola has not announced the price and hardware details.
As per Lior Ron, CVP Product Management, Moto 360 smartwatch will keep you on time and up to date without taking you out of the moment or distracting you. It will tell you what you need to know before you know you need it through subtle alerts and notifications. With just a twist of the wrist you can see who’s emailing or calling, what time your next meeting is or a friend’s latest social post.
He further adds that Moto 360 also responds to your voice. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions like who won a particular game or what time your flight leaves, or to get stuff done like scheduling an appointment, sending a text, setting an alarm or taking a note.
With Google plunging in wearable devices segment with a bang by introducing its Android Wear OS( http://www.techvorm.com/google-announces-android-wear-os-upcoming-smartwatches/), the search giant company is going to bring storm in the smartwatches segment in the coming months. So far, smartwatches introduced by Samsung, Sony, Pebble etc, have not seen the desired traction despite the best effforts of these companies. Google has already taken into fold the leading smartphones vendors like LG,Samsung,HTC,Asus etc, to develop their smartwatches with Android Wear OS. The newly developed OS for smartwatches have rich features for the wearable devices.
Google has a great chance to control the wearable segment also the way they are dominating the smartphone segment with their Android OS.
