It seems everyone is getting in on the smart watch action.
First we had Apple iWatch patents (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/apple-s-latest-patent-reveals-iwatch/030301), then Samsung revealed it’s been developing a watch for the Galaxy range (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/samsung-vp-reveals-company-will-take-on-iwatch-with-own-smart-watch/030530), and now Google’s jumping on the bandwagon.
The Financial Times reported that Google is to compete with the two other companies with its own smart watch, which will be a more mainstream wearable accessory than Google Glasses (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/google-glass-features-showcased-in-newly-released-video/030295).
“While Glass is being created in its X Lab, home to experimental “moonshot” projects such as the self-driving car, Google’s smart watch is being developed by its Android unit,” a person briefed on the project told the newspaper.
The project is separate from Samsung’s, although there is no indication of when it might launch.
