Google announced a wearable development platform called Android Wear, and released it as a developer preview. Based on a lightweight version of Android, Android Wear will first appear in the second quarter in a watch built by LG. Although it had been rumored that the LG-built watch would be released under a Nexus brand, there’s no mention of this in LG’s brief announcement of the G Watch.
