<\/p>\nGoogle just announced the ‘Android Wear’ a modified version of Android designed specifically for smart watches and other wearables.<\/p>\n
Android Wear makes use of ‘Google Now’ for contextual features and voice commands. It offers users widely varying set of facilities such as calling taxis, replying to text messages, getting directions, checking sports scores and more. Watches powered by Android Wear will come with support for voice commands, ambient alerts, directions, and notifications.<\/p>\n
Google has partnered with HTC, Samsung, Asus, Motorola, and LG to release wearable devices powered by Android Wear. The first smart watches to come powered with Android Wear will be Motorola’s Moto 360.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Motorola has used “premium materials” to build Moto 360. The device is made of stainless steel and is designed to be water resistant. Moto 360 has a diameter of 46mm and a 1.8inch diameter touch screen. The device can sense its orientation and flip the screen contents accordingly, which should make the Moto 360 ambidextrous.<\/p>\n

The Moto 360 will support everything Android Wear supports, including custom notifications, stacked cards and voice actions. With the Moto 360, users can conveniently get notifications, check appointments, peruse social networks, and even just check the time and date.\u00a0 Unlike Galaxy Gear, Moto 360 doesn\u2019t have a Camera. Because Motorola feels it\u2019s not something users want or need in a smartwatch. The Moto 360 will work with other Android devices running Android 4.3 and above. The device will be available in a variety of styles.<\/p>\n
Price and actual release date of Moto 360 is yet to be revealed. The company says the Motorola Moto 360 will be released globally in summer 2014, starting in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
