Finally Google has decided to take Android Wear to the next level. They just announced official support of cellular technology in their newest version of Android Wear. The first smartwatch to take advantage of that will be the upcoming LG Watch Urbane LTE 2nd Edition, which we will share a story about coming up next.
This basically means that the dream of leaving your smartphone at home and just using a watch as your phone will become true for those interested. Of course, it shouldn't really come as a surprise that Google made this move. Even if you aren't excited about a Dick Tracy style smartwatch, the future of technology is moving toward the IoT (Internet of Things), and cellular connectivity will need to be a big part of that for everything to fully connect.
