How Google Can Make a Killer Smartwatch - Businessweek

Check here for more details on the MotoACTV

"What does that have to do with Google? A lot, since Google owns Motorola. Yes, it runs Motorola as a completely separate division, but it would be nonsensical for Google not to take a good, hard look at the MotoACTV for the basis of a new smartwatch. Most of what Google needs is already present and accounted for in the MotoACTV, even though the device is two years old.
It already runs on Android—something the WSJ reported a new Google smartwatch would do as well—and has nearly every type of connectivity option available: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Sure, the components need an upgrade from 2011 standards, but the foundation of a great smartwatch is already there.
There’s more, however, that Google has in its arsenal of tools to make a great watch, even if it isn’t based solely on the MotoACTV: Google Now and Google Glass."
