Google, like Apple, Samsung and
just about every other big tech player today, has been long rumored to be
working on its own “smartwatch” that will bring smartphone-like capabilities to the wristwatch form factor. An unnamed source
has now told Android Authority that
Google’s version of the smartwatch will be manufactured by
Motorola and will feature a Google Glass-like user interface that will include a series of digital “cards” that users swipe through to give them updates on times, events and other key information.
Android Authority’s source says that Google may not be ready to release its watch at Google I/O this week, however, because it still needs to be tethered to a smartphone and isn’t a standalone device capable of receiving data on its own.
