Does "Google's involvement in the Internet of Things" worry Apple investors?
On March 12th, according to foreign media reports, Google will not stay in the smartphone and tablet market. This technology giant wants to develop in a larger field. Now, it is working to bring the Android system into the wearable device. As Google quickly floods into all connected devices, will the Apple ecosystem be threatened?
Google's next step: smart watches and more
Online search giant Google released the Open Auto Alliance at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, with the goal of getting cars connected to the Android system. The Wall Street Journal reported in February that Google’s “Robot Vision†includes building an operating system for the mechanical manufacturing industry, an Android operating system similar to mobile devices. Google recently acquired the network thermostat controller and fire detector manufacturing company Nest. According to Google’s executive Sundar Pichai, Google will now introduce software tool development kits into wearables within two weeks. The "Internet of Things" is undoubtedly coming to consumers, and Google wants to be a leader in this field.
Picai oversees Google's Android, Chrome, Gmail, Nexus smartphone and tablet series, Chromebook and Chromecast. He said that the Android system for wearable devices will be free to manufacturers, just like the Android system for smartphones and tablets.
"Wall Street Journal" reporter Rolfe Winkler said: "The software tool development kit may make Google attract developers and bring consumers into the ecosystem built by Google software." Koehler also said that Google will release its own smart watch in June, which will be produced and processed by LG Electronics. Winkler explained: "Google wants to show developers a 'vision' to motivate them to produce their own wearables."
Apple hesitates about other devices
Of course, Apple also plans to develop on other devices. Apple recently released its CarPlay, and it is fair to say that CarPlay makes Apple enter the car market faster than Google. In addition, although Apple's iWatch has been a rumor, it recently hired a group of experts with wearable device related technology, which indicates that Apple's iWatch may be released soon. Of course, Apple CEO Cook promised that the company will introduce new projects this year.
But to a large extent, Google seems to be more interested in the Internet of Things than Apple. For example, Google Smart Watch will be released in June and will be ahead of Apple's iWatch. Google also released a free Android operating system that can be used by other manufacturers for wearable devices, and Google’s rapid progress in this area has easily left Apple behind.
Google will release Android for wearable devices in the near future, so the early advantages that Apple lacks in this field will become a hindrance to its ecosystem development?
Or does Apple do a lot of hard work?
If Apple's innovative spirit in new areas has created history, then Google's seemingly huge advantage in the field of wearable devices may not be a particularly big threat to Apple. Unlike Google, Apple prefers to be as tight as possible about its product plans, so it's hard to really understand what products Apple is developing.
