– We live in a special time. It is exactly in this moment that the mobile shift takes place.
So began the Google product manager Sundar Pichai company’s conference for developers Google I / O is going on here in San Francisco.
During Thursday’s keynote featured Google, according to preliminary rumors, a new version of its mobile Android operating system. Support for fingerprint readers and the possibility to pay by mobile phone were some of the new features. Furthermore, it becomes easier to check what different apps to have access to, for example, camera, contacts, or GPS. The new version, which so far only called M, will also provide better battery life and faster charging of mobile devices and tablets. It is released to begin with as a version for developers.
Android started as an operating system for mobile phones in 2008, but in recent years Google has developed customized versions of the car, the TV, and smart watches. During the keynote put Google up the latest addition – an operating system adapted for the Internet of Things, the so-called Internet of Things. The project is called Brillo and is meant to connect physical things with mobile, cloud and with each other. Product manager Sundar Pichai mentioned door locks and washers as something that can be integrated into the networked ecosystem. The new operating system will be made available later this year.
