Motorola 360 smartwatch

LG G Watch

Google has gone official with their new project called Android Wear - the latest alliance brings Android
to the still untapped market of smartwatches and wearable technology . Although many companies produced
in house Android wearables , the platform was never official nor was it very effective because developer
tools were virtually non existent and were proprietary . However with the launch of Android Wear , Google has teamed up with HTC , LG,ASUS ,Motorola and Samsung and some lesser known brands like Fossil to create a totally new platform from scratch .The project will also be supported by big microprocessor companies like Intel,Qualcomm,Broadcomm,Mediatek and imagination who will work to produce even smaller microprocessors for future devices. As for now , the project requires the smartwatch to basically sync notifications from any Android app installed on the paired smartphone . The Google smartwatches will also need to work on voice search using Google's famous - "Ok Google"command set in order to search maps , words etc .The first Google smartwatches will be made by Motorola and LG with Motorola taking the first dive into the new group by introducing their very first prototype today .If you want more information you can check out the official Android blog here and you can also go through the Android Wear SDK preview right here.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One.

We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
