Androsten

Google's ready to take over just about any device that connects to the internet whether or not it has a digital screen.

First reported by The Information, Google is working on a new OS codenamed "Brillo" that is incredibly small and will need just 32MB or 64MB of RAM to run successfully for it to be able to be squeezed into even the smallest of Internet of Things (IoT) device.

It's expected that the new OS will be released under the Android banner with the group working on the initial development of the OS linked to the Android unit that develops the world's number one mobile OS.

Android part of the plan

Indeed, if it is launched with the Android moniker then it will mark a sharp departure from the latest Android build that demanded at least 512MB of RAM to be able to function correctly. The move will allow Google to take a piece of the smart home pie by letting its OS to run everything from smart fridges and light bulbs to locking mechanisms, thermostats and micro-sized wearables.

By building an OS specific to the IoT, it positions Google as one of those that will be at the centre of smart homes of the future and we can expect to hear a lot more about its plans at the I/O developers conference next week.

Google Glass was reported on the Google I/O designer gathering in the mid year of 2012. The principal wearable Android gadget wasn't accessible to eventually later, yet that is the point at which we got our first take a gander at what the "Pioneers" would have in store for them. At its substance, Glass is an exhibitions sort gadget that has a little show that sits before or more your right eye, the likeness a 25-inch top notch show from 8 feet. It's got a 5-megapixel cam adjacent to it. What's more, there's a bone-directing speaker for giving sound. The second form of the Glass model accompanies a mono Earbud.

Information comes specifically over Wifi, or by means of your a Bluetooth association on your telephone when you're out on the town. You ordinarily can get close to a day's utilization before reviving. Glass is about the trip. It's about making sense of what to do with this minor screen and cam all over. A great many Explorers wear Glass consistently. More are nearing.

After months of speculation on what dessert would take on the “L” name for Android 5.0, Google has announced it will be called Lollipop.

The latest version of Android has over 5,000 APIs and a new aesthetic style called Material Design that is supposed to create a consistent feel across multiple devices including gadgets running Android Wear and vehicles equipped with Android Auto. The app also brings new security and notification features.



Battery life on devices running Lollipop will be extended up to 90 minutes when using the battery saver feature according to Google. A huge win for anyone that has to recharge their smartphone multiple times a day. It’s something that Samsung and Sony have had for a while, but now it’s going platform wide as a standard feature. You can also see how much time you have left on your current charge and how long it will take for your device to charge to 100 percent.

On the security front, the OS supports a kill switch that makes a stolen Android device worthless to thieves unless they know the password to reset it.

Notifications have also been updated and users can now hide sensitive updates and prioritize their notifications allowing only certain contacts and notification types to get through. Something Motorola added to the original Moto X is now becoming standard on the platform. Plus you can schedule a quiet time to silence notifications.
