The Google thing with Android Wear 2.o seems like fireworks, as they say in my town. Almost a year ago, Google officially presented what would become, at some time in life, the second version of Android Wear, the operating system with which Google wants to reign in the wearable devices of the main manufacturers. Google has convinced the major manufacturers except Samsung, who has chosen to use his own operating system called Tizen and with which he is obtaining very good results, both critically and in terms of operation, although the application ecosystem is not yet as developer as it would like.
A little over a week ago, Google officially presented Android Wear 2.0 in the hands of the new LG smartwatches, devices that have been the first to reach the market with the second Android Wear update. At the moment and as we could see on the Android Wear blog, the company would launch the final version to all compatible devices within a few weeks, which as we can quickly see have become months. As announced by the manufacturer Asus, Zenwatch 2 and Zenwatch 3 will receive Android Wear 2.0 from April, almost a year after its official presentation.
We do not know what has happened with the development of Android Wear 2.0, a major update that offers us a large number of new features, such as the possibility of installing applications directly on the watch through its own store among many other novelties. As announced by Google in the last Google I / O, the release of this second version was prepared for the end of last year, but as the months approached, the company announced that there was still a lot of work to be done to launch it, forcing it to delay its launch until February as we all know.
This delay, without justification by Google, was the end of the journey of Lenovo, current owner of MotorolaIn the world of smartwatches, a market that is very fair in sales and that this type of delay does not help at all. If Google continues to beat up manufacturers, it is likely that over time, they will choose to use Samsung's Tizen instead of Android Wear. And, if not, at the time.
