"Still not free of the smartphone"

freeing us from smartphones. Is Google ready to take the leap? Are we going to see a completely alternate method for information consumption? “Still needs tethering”, sources tells us. 

It’s not a standalone device yet. It needs to be tethered to a smartphone.”

Another nagging question we had was who made the watch. Google is usually fairly tight lipped about who manufacturers their hardware, but this one is no real secret. In fact, it doesn’t stray far from home.sources tells us, without hesitation, “Motorola”. While we have a bit of hesitation believing that, it makes quite a bit of sense. If wearable technology is Google’s new focus for mobile, Motorola making their smartwatch makes perfect sense.

Motorola made a very good smartwatch once upon a time, with their MOTOACTV watch a great offering. It was solidly made, and among the best on the market. Wearable technology was, at the time, not popular or welcome. Glass proves that times have changed, and opinions softened.
