SXSW revelation: Android SDK for wearables
(Phys.org) —If all the world eventually gets to love wearable computing gear then Google will be most gratified to know that all the world will love wearables running Android. Signs are in the air that, at least, all Android-leaning developers will get their chance to make a difference in the future wearables marketplace with the Android SDK-to-come. When is it coming? Soon. How soon? The word now out is in just two weeks' time. At a Sunday talk at the Austin, Texas, South by Southwest conference(SXSW) a Google executive revealed that Google plans to release a software development kit later this month. The SDK will allow third-party developers to build Android software for use on wearable devices. As Forbes noted, this move will support a standard method for sensors to talk to Android.
