 Android is going everywhere, and next up on Google's agenda, watches. Google announced Android Wear in March, and now at I.O., we've got some details on the first devices. First up, Samsung. It's called the Gear Live, and it'll be available for pre-order from the Google Play Store later today. LG's previously announced G Watch will also be available for pre-order. And as for Motorola's rounder Moto 360, which was first teased months ago, well, that's still being planned for release later this summer. The Gear Live actually marks a return to Android smartwatches for Samsung. Last year it released a Galaxy Gear, a smartwatch running a modified version of Android. But just half a year later, Samsung abandoned Android for the Tizen operating system when launching the Gear 2. Google also showed off a few Android Wear demos on stage today at I.O. using the Moto 360, which included everything from setting reminders about double-sided peanut butter jars to ordering a pizza. This sudden and quick push into smartwatches is no coincidence. The space has increasingly become a subject of intense interest following Pebble's smashing Kickstarter success. And beyond that, Apple is reported to be working on a smartwatch for release later this year, one that's believed to be able to measure aspects of its wearer's health, too. That gives Google and others good reason to start getting ahead. We should see soon how well that first round of Wear devices holds up.
