Google Smartwatch, Nexus 8, and Android 4.5

**Google Smartwatch: A Notification Machine**

The tech world is abuzz with excitement as rumors surface about Google's next move in the wearable device market. According to an unnamed Google Dublin employee, the search giant plans to ditch its Nexus 7 and explore a new, less competitive space – the 8-inch tablet market. However, before we get too caught up in the drama surrounding the Nexus 7, let's talk about what we can expect from Google's next smartwatch.

Design is clearly an important aspect of any wearable device, and the rumors suggest that Google's latest offering will be more in line with existing SmartWatches on the market. According to sources, the device will feature a square display, similar to the Sony SmartWatch, rather than a curved or rounded one like some of its competitors. This design choice is likely aimed at making the smartwatch more familiar and user-friendly for those already accustomed to traditional watches.

The Google smartwatch is expected to be an "always-on" device, meaning it will always display the time and other information, much like the Moto X. Users will be able to speak commands to interact with their device, similar to the way they would use a virtual assistant like Google Assistant on their smartphone. The device will also receive notifications from users' Android smartphones, providing a seamless and connected experience.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Google smartwatch is its potential for customization. According to sources, the device will have interchangeable straps, allowing users to personalize their watch to suit their style or mood. This feature is sure to appeal to those who value individuality and want a unique look that reflects their personality.

However, not all of the features of the Google smartwatch are clear yet. The device does not appear to have a camera, which may be a disappointment for some users who are looking for a smartwatch with advanced photography capabilities. Additionally, it's unclear whether the smartwatch will support iOS devices, but we wouldn't bet the house on that just yet.

**Android 4.5 and Beyond**

While we can't confirm all of the details about Google's latest smartwatch, one thing is clear: the device is expected to run on Android 4.5, a version of the operating system that offers a range of new features and improvements. With Android 4.5, users can expect to enjoy improved performance, enhanced security, and more intuitive user interfaces.

The release date for Google's smartwatch has not been officially announced, but rumors suggest it may arrive sometime in the spring before I/O. This means that we can expect a flurry of announcements and updates from Google ahead of the conference, which promises to be one of the most exciting events in the tech world this year.

**Google's Smartwatch OS: A New Era for Wearables**

In a surprise move, Google has announced plans to release its own operating system specifically designed for smartwatches. This new OS is expected to provide a range of benefits and improvements over existing wearable devices, including enhanced performance, improved security, and more intuitive user interfaces.

The release date for the smartwatch OS has not been officially announced, but rumors suggest it may arrive sometime in the fall between March and May. This means that we can expect a wide range of smartwatches to hit the market, offering users a choice of devices with different features, designs, and operating systems.

Google's decision to release its own smartwatch OS is a significant move in the wearable device market, and one that promises to shake up the competition. By providing its own operating system, Google can ensure that its devices have a seamless and connected experience, making it easier for users to switch between their smartphone and smartwatch.

**Asus' Mysterious Device: The Nexus 8?**

While we wait for Google's latest smartwatch, there's still plenty of excitement in the air surrounding Asus' mysterious device. According to rumors, the device is expected to be released alongside Android 4.5, a version of the operating system that offers a range of new features and improvements.

The device itself appears to be an 8-inch tablet, similar to the ones offered by Samsung and LG. However, it's unclear whether this is actually the Nexus 8, or simply another device from Asus. One thing is for sure, though: with Android 4.5 on board, users can expect a seamless and connected experience across devices.

The release date for Asus' mysterious device has not been officially announced, but rumors suggest it may arrive sometime in the spring before I/O. This means that we can expect a flurry of announcements and updates from Asus ahead of the conference, which promises to be one of the most exciting events in the tech world this year.

TechnoBuffalo can confirm after speaking to an Industry Source that a device is indeed far along in development right now it appears that Google is searching for oems to build its SmartWatches but LG is definitely on board and has developed a prototype device our sources have said HTC's also been rumored as a possible OEM by Bloomberg but if I was a betting man I'd bet up on it coming from LG additionally the watch will make its debut during Google's IO developers Conference in June so not even that far away when it comes to wearables though design is obviously important since it's going to be on you and be seen all the time uh we're told it looks a little bit like the Sony SmartWatch meaning it's got a square display instead of a curved or rounded one making it more in line with existing SmartWatches on the market also it will have an always on access to Google Now which makes total sense similar to the Moto X which means you can just speak commands at any time like dick tracing just talk to it a color screen is also on board of the sides we still don't know yet those you'd like to customize though a simple strap will be here as opposed to anything special like maybe

like it's going to be a ton of stuff coming out at IO anyway mysterious device will allegedly be developed by Asus they've been manufacturing partner of Googles for quite a while uh currently the most notable 8in tablet made by Samsung and LG while Apple's iPad Mini comes pretty close at 7.9 in also Amazon's Kindle Fire HX is 8.9 so a ton of competition uh in the 8 in Market virtually no details this alleged Nexus 8 were shared though presumably it would launch with Google's latest version of Android Android 4.5 which we also know between this much and this much about uh no other details were provided by that Source unfortunately so it's going to be a busy first half of the year for Google we're going to get a smartwatch Android 4.5 might see the new Nexus 8 although I don't know it's
