Google and its hardware projects; Is Android in them? – The Free Android

google

What began as a search engine to internet has ended up being one of the largest companies worldwide and now, the most valuable Globe . Google did not want to stick to your internet browser or the Chrome browser, or to one of their products that gives you more benefits, Android .

Google has gone one step further and has invested in research , development and creation of new technologies based on buying companies and go support them financially to this project follow up or simply being born from the same team of engineers from Google.

Today there are numerous prototypes of Google who have not seen the light, either because it is not the time or because they are not fit to be sold. Other projects Google have come to market but have been unsuccessful. Risking not always work and Google knows it.

nexus q

Just see the failure that was Nexus Q with the update Google Play Music breaking compatibility with this device Android, Google and put an end to this media center.

But see much hardware project, what software will built?, Is an adaptation of Android for each device, will it opt ??for other special operating system for each project?

Moto Moto X and G , pure Android optimized hardware

Android is definitely one of the pillars more important to Google. A great many users like the green android and want the devices marketed by Google or other marks that incorporate the operating system works well and know that it fosters development.

You can find mobile devices that incorporate Android in its purest style, such as the Nexus range , Google Play Devices and two devices that have been much talked about for its great value, Moto Moto X and G . Two separate devices are manufactured almost entirely by Motorola , but the help of Google is also present in these terminals.



Glass Accessible Android, and Android Chromecast Wear

As you have been throwing other devices, such as Google Glass , Chromecast or go no further, smartwatch Android Wear , has had to adapt Android to another set of needs. These devices are designed based Android but as far as user interface and functionality it offers, is totally different from what we have found in smartphones and tablets. For Google Glass is known to be based on a version of Android ICS specially modified for that device.

On the other hand, Chromecast also is based on Android but its functions have been reduced to the minimum so that its operation when connected to the TV is optimal and fast. Last but not least, we find the new OS for smartwatch, Android Wear. This operating system is an adaptation of Android for small screens and the needs that we would have to incorporate one wearable device . Android Will we meet also in other projects that Google works?



smart lenses for diabetics

we

Within the wide range of projects covering Google, with some truly amazing. An example of this is the l contacting authorities glucose detector for diabetic people . Incorporate this lens? Version of Android for extremely basic operation of this device or opt for some other specific?. We also ask the same question with robotic cheetah able to run 47 km / h or the newly announced Google fully autonomous car. You can take the car you built Android for the user to select routes and others but what the Cheetah robot too?.



Ara Project and Project Tango, joining Google and Motorola

Project Ara

also have to talk about the projects born at the junction of Google and Motorola , as Ara Project and Project Tango . Two pretty ambitious projects that could give an evolutionary leap in technology. With Ara Project we could create ourselves as our smartphone , buying the parts separately and putting them in a main board. This device, like the rest of mobile devices from Google, Android incorporated lead but could also lead a surprise.

As for Tango Project , is a software capable of analyze more accurately the environment around us through cameras and sensors would offer for sale as parts Ara Project. Claim Android software is adapted to be created or other special

Google intends to enter the home automation Nest

Nest , the famous company smart thermostats, lost to Google and now is completely unknown what happens after the research regarding their products. Is the automation normal users will approach through Android or choose to incorporate or create a simpler and distanced but with Android support this?.

In my opinion, if they incorporated Google Now but with thermostats and besides that you provide other information would be a turning point in technology for the home.

Internet for all with Loon Project

project-loon

We should also mention Loon Project , a draft by Google in which hot air balloons internet would take all sites in the world to be fully connected to the world. A good idea for explorers and travelers who venture into areas with little or rather no coverage.



Trekker backpack for travelers who will capture all

 StreetView Trekker

Finally we should point the way Google project as Trekker , a backpack equipped with a 15.5 MP camera similar to those carried Google vehicles and thanks to them we are able to drive around cities without leaving home. The idea is that Trekker with explorers and so take pictures of the most remote places on the planet , allowing anyone to see from the top of Everest or the Grand Canyon. For now this special case given certain undertakings from third parties and are not expected anyone to get to buy them.



Android an extendible to (almost) all operating system

As a personal opinion, I think Android can go a long way to fit anything. Linux operating system is lightweight compared to others and taking it to its most basic point can perform functions and provide a really low weight. All know that Android is based on Linux, so if you take the green android all these projects not think it was a step back in the development of this so new hardware.

Nest-google

Incorporating Google Now thermostats Nest would be a success because nearer home automation to the general public . If the autonomous car project would also incorporate a relief for Android users because it would make things easier if other mobile devices such as Ara Project follow in the footsteps of the Nexus, would fully exploit each such component.

In short, I think Android should remain in the new Google hardware as it would be a success. In my opinion, I think the launch of the Gear by Samsung with Tizen is a right decision disposing of Android Wear, surely they would know this before you decide to incorporate your own operating system. If something works, improve it, but do not change it.
