All wearables users were eagerly waiting for the
new version of the Android Wear 2.0 operating system
. Finally it has come to the fore the news that
the launch of Android Wear 2.0 is postponed until 2017
.
An official statement by Google ruled out all expectations of having Android Wear 2.0 in the month of October. The statement specified that
the delay is mainly due to the large amount of feedback received, which has forced Google to perform more tests before its launch
.
The launch of Android Wear 2.0 is postponed until 2017.
To cushion this bad news, at the same time
Google reported that the version 2.0 Developer Preview 3 was already available
. This version is considered as evidence, so that manufacturers and developers polish the defects that may have and thus finally launch a mature and stable product to the market.
The truth is that the list of wearables compatible with the Android Wear 2.0 operating system is not very broad, it is limited to a fortnight of smartwatches. There are even rumors that other manufacturers are moving to
Tizen OS
, the operating system for Samsung wearables.
But it's time to focus on the
news of Android Wear 2.0 Preview 3,
to see what is coming in this operating system. The main novelty is the
availability of Google Play Store directly from the device, allowing applications to be installed directly from the wrist
.
Applications can be searched, so those compatible with our device will be recommended. Searches can also be executed using voice commands, something very useful in smaller wearables.
In short, we can only wait for them to release the
Android Wear 2.0 Preview 4 version
and finally we will see the final version, which everything points to that will be throughout the year 2017.
Personally I thought this move by Google, instead of launching an immature and unstable product to get sales in the Christmas campaign, have preferred to delay the launch.
