Google developers got a preview of Google's most ambitious Android release yet. With more than 5,000 new APIs (for non-techies, that stands for application programming interfaces) and a new, consistent design approach called material design, we’re continuing to evolve the Android platform so developers can bring to life even more beautiful, engaging mobile experiences.
Google is taking Android beyond the mobile phone, to the home, work, car, or even on our wrist. So, Google got to thinking: how do they invest more in their two popular, open platforms—Android and Chrome—to make it easier to easily and intuitively move from your phone, tablet, laptop to your TV, car or even your watch?
On the go: Android Wear and Android Auto
Most people check their phones more than 150 times a day. Often, it’s to read a text, look at a notification, or get some other simple piece of information. That’s a lot of time spent unlocking, swiping and entering passwords, when your hands could easily be free handling more important things.
Enter Android Wear, which extends Android, and its ecosystem of apps, to that most familiar spot for a “wearable,” your wrist. You get the information you need, quickly at a glance—just like you’re used to doing with your watch. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions or to get stuff done. Get alerted when it's time to leave for dinner. Call a cab to take you there. See the traffic on the way. Text a friend once you're seated. It’s all right there, on your wrist, easy to see, right when you want it. Today we announced that two Android wearables, the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, are available to order today on Google Play, and the Moto 360 from Motorola will be available in the coming months.
WSJ - Google wants to get smartphones in the hands of billions more, and he unveiled an initiative, Android One, to encourage the development of phones for less than $100 in developing countries.
NY Times - Google unveiled additions to Drive, its online storage service, tailored for businesses. Google said companies would be able to audit which employees were reading what documents, more easily encrypt documents and gain access and work with documents stored in older formats, like Microsoft Office. All of that is tied with an effort to improve battery life for Android devices, with a tool called Project Volta.
