The Gaming Consoles In The Market

Microsoft’s  gaming console Xbox and Sony’s PS have already won many hearts, these companies have created history with these consoles, and the companies’ latest entrants Xbox One and PS4 have already created the excitement in the users and are expected to be launched by the end of this year. When compared to Microsoft and Sony, Android is still in a beginning stage, so it will be quite hard for Google to grab the users for its gaming console, they have to either sell their gaming console in a lesser price or the gaming console have to be extra-ordinary.

Google has also been eying on Ouya Inc, a new kid in the Gaming town, which was launched this week, this $99 open game console uses the Android mobile OS and its initial allotment on Amazon.com sold out in a day, and has shocked the marketers.

The asserted Google Smart watch will be paired with a user’s phone over Bluetooth, much like Google Glass currently does, Google’s smartness is in its timing, and there was recent news about Apple Inc is (AAPL) planning to launch its iWatch, this move of Google is commendable as it is throwing a hurdle to Apple in building a lead in a newer product category.

The Expected New Version Of Android

The New Version of Android, “K release” i.e. Key Lime Pie which is expected to have better software which is suited for a wider range of Android devices beyond just phones. Google will give complete freedom to manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (KRX:590035) to use this new software to use Android in appliances, wearable devices etc as wearable computing has become a lucrative area of development. This software aims to get tailored into the low-cost Smartphones; the strategy here is to tighten the Android market in the developing countries.

It’s no secret that Google wants to branch out Android from being just a phone OS, it has hit a few bumps on the road, it is assured that Google has quite a few rockets in its invention bag that will keep the users excited about Android.
