Apple Inc. (AAPL), Google Inc (GOOG): The Suddenly Crowded Smartwatch Space

Page 2 of 2

The Android division, on the other hand, develops products and services with a more immediate consumer need. While no specifics were given for this rumored Android-developed Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) smartwatch, it would not be surprising to see it being released this year (with a release schedule similar to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iWatch and Samsung’s smartwatch). It would also not be surprising to see the Android smartwatch project being released in conjunction with the smartwatch products of Samsung and other companies.

Foolish Bottom Line
In the span of just a few short days, the smartwatch product category has gone from just one rumored tech-giant to the three largest names in the mobile industry. This smartwatch category has gotten very exciting in a very short amount of time. I cannot wait to see what the future will bring, not just in the smartwatch space, but the future of all wearable technology.
