The Next biggie on block, HTC One M8 !

Think of the HTC One M8 as the big-budget sequel to an Oscar-winning indie film. Last year's HTC One won rave reviews and obsessed fans, but not enough customers to keep HTC growing. This year, HTC needs a rip-roaring box-office hit with its flagship phone.

It could happen. The One M8 is undeniably the most impressive handset the company has ever minted. Like its predecessor, the M8 brings a refined and beautiful software and speedy performance, all wrapped in a lithe and eye-catching aluminum skin.

Sony to focus on it's own OS, not Wear for Smartwatch

Sony, one of the most fervent supporters of the Android platform, has said it won't be embracing the smartwatch version of the software that Google recently announced. Android Wear is a customized, trimmed-down variant of the mobile operating system intended to reside on wearable devices of various form factors — starting off with smartwatches — but Sony has taken the position that it will continue to focus on its own OS, while possibly being open to Android Wear down the line. Sony told CNET that it will "continue to work closely with Google as a key partner and continue to evaluate opportunities across a number of areas," even if most of the company's efforts will be focused internally.

The SmartWatch 2 that Sony introduced at IFA last year is actually the fourth generation of its smartphone companion device, with the software gradually evolving and maturing every year. It's therefore understandable that, at least for the present time, Sony would seek to continue building on the platform it already has rather than jumping aboard a whole new one, while leaving the door open to collaborate with the likes of Google which already has the support of other big names like Samsung, LG, Motorola, and HTC.

Meet the OS for New generation of Wearable Devices, Android Wear

There have been main reports that Google was working on their own wearable smartwatch, but it looks like the emphasis is on the ‘wear’ part as Google has announced Android Wear – Android based code designed to work in a wearable smartwatch.  Not a Google Smartwatch, but any developer that wants to use Android Wear in a watch that they develop…just like the Android OS for our beloved smartphones. So Far Motorola and LG announced they would soon launch Smartwatches powered by Android Wear.  The Moto 360, as its name suggests, is a round-faced watch with alerts and notifications and voice control using Google Now – one of the requirements to using Android Wear.  In stark contrast, the LG G Watch is more in line with the existing square/rectangle look.  Both manufacturers claim to be debuting these Smartwatches in 2014 and it looks like many others are jumping on board.

While Android Wear does include fitness features that will work with some fitness Apps – certainly the popular Android App, MyFitnessPal – and Google is also working on a fitness API that will automatically help Android smartphones to automatically detect motion and exercise routines and this could certainly be used for the watches as well. The biggest plus to the Android Wear has to be in the ability or necessity to use Google Now that operates a lot like Apple’s Siri.  As the video shows, being able to ask the watch to find a certain place or person or to answer a text by speaking into the watch is very exciting and functional.  Google has really been perfecting Google Now through their Glass project and in Android 4.4 KitKat.  As Glass has shown us, a wearable is where Google Now really can shine. Android Wear is available now for Developers to start designing or building their applications with wearables in mind.  The new section that Google brought up is under Android for Developers and you can download a preview and learn more about the SDK.

Based on the video below, it looks like the leaked images we saw last year were very close to the actual product.  Please let us know as comments if this could be the type of product that would make you go out and purchase a wearable smartwatch – it is a lot like having Google Glass on your wrist without the benefit of a camera.  To be able to speak to the device and receive immediate feedback may be the thing that pushes me over the edge to finally make a purchase.
