Rumors have started to fly following a leak from a Twitter user that revealed key specifications of the upcoming device.
The smartwatch from Google that was first making technology news because it was revealed that it would be manufactured by LG is now back in the wearable technology headlines once more after a massive Twitter leak that may have revealed some of the key specs about this mobile device.
These wearables are expected to be among the hottest entries into this category and now we may know a little more.
EVLeaks has tweeted a list of specs about the Google smartwatch. That user has had a solid track record in terms of leaking accurate information about upcoming gadgets. They reported that these wearables will have an IPS display of 1.65 inches and a resolution of 280p by 280p. When the resolution and size are both taken into consideration, then this suggests that these mobile devices will feature a 240ppi pixel density.
There was also a great deal more revealed about the upcoming Google smartwatch.
For example, it indicated that there would be 512 MB RAM, as well as an internal storage capacity of 4 GB. Among the other central features that will define this upcoming wearable tech device that are sources of curiosity, such as the battery and the processor, have yet to be revealed by any credible source.
The same Twitter poster was the one that revealed that LG would be the manufacturer of the Google wearables.
It is suspected that this mobile device will have a strong base in the Google Now virtual assistant. It will be capable of receiving voice commands and searching for data on the internet as well as within the device itself. This type of technology has already been launched in a device owned by Google in the form of the Moto X smartphone that was released by Motorola. It provided the user with touchless control functionality so that the screen never needed to be tapped in order to provide the gadget with commands.
After Google Glass, the upcoming smartwatch will represent the second time that the brand has made its way into the wearable technology industry.
The location based technology is helping to ensure that gamers are adhering to state laws.
As a growing number of applications are integrating geolocation technology into their features, mobile app development companies are discovering that there are many new and undiscovered uses for this tech, and they are beginning to use them.
This has become especially handy in some industry sectors where regulations and laws change by state.
For example, New Jersey regulators have started to ease the laws when it comes to being able to gamble online and over mobile. However, the gamer still needs to be located within the state in order to abide by these regulations. Therefore, that industry is starting to use geolocation to an increasing degree to make sure that the people who want to use those particular mobile gaming apps are actually located where they say they are.
So far, geolocation technology is proving to be a reliable source of location information.
This is piquing the interest of a number of different types of mobile app development firms and mobile gaming companies that are seeing the growing potential of this technology. The location based tech uses cell phone signals in order to determine where the mobile device user is actually located – not where he or she claims to be
This helps to be able to ensure that people who are where they say they are will have full access to the services or mobile gaming opportunities that they want, and will assist in blocking people who are only pretending to be local – even if they are quite near to a state line but still outside of its border.
It is expected that the industries that are using this technology will only continue to grow as its implementation is better understood and as its accuracy continues to prove itself. This has already been celebrated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, according to one of its spokespeople, Kerry Langan, but it is unlikely to stop there. That department is now working with the largest Location as a Service (Laas) company in the world, Locaid, as of November.
As other government departments and agencies, as well as private companies watch what geolocation technology does for that sector and with how much accuracy, it will continue to spread beyond simple mobile marketing opportunities.
