Google filed an application to connect the “smartwatches” Android with Apple iPhone, giving a twist to the battle between the tech giants to seize the wrists of their consumers.
The move puts Google in the territory of Apple, in an attempt to increase the low sales android wear watches with software. The program connects to devices with different operating systems will go on sale Monday in the Apple app store.
Until now, only watches Android operating system smartphones with Android , like the Apple Watch is designed to be operated exclusively for the iPhone.
However, the new application of Google allow new watches Android linked to the iPhone for the people can check your wrists in search of a direction and exercise information notifications about events, emails or Facebook updates.
The devices may not yet be linked in a way that Android watches allow communication with other apps that may be installed on the iPhone.
that obstacle may be enough to deter many owners leave behind Apple iPhone to buy an Android watch, unless eventually Google finds a way to overcome this problem, said IDC analyst Ramon Llamas.
For now, it is possible that Android watches are attractive for owners of iPhones who refuse to spend much money on an item that is still more a novelty than an article of great functionality.
Google expects the price of Android watches Compatible with iPhone fluctuate between 100 and 400 dollars. Apple, which has a long history of charging higher prices for their products, sells most of its watches 350 to $ 1,000, although there are luxury models exceeding 10,000.
The Android watches will not be acquired “by the fervent fans who must have all items that have the Apple logo,” said Llamas. “We are talking about attracting other possibilities open to people about what to do with their devices.”
