Google’s announcement overnight of an upcoming update to Android Wear has gotten a number of people rather excited. Of course the manufacturers are excited too and Motorola is excited. They’ve taken to their blog to talk over the new updates and has confirmed that the Moto 360 will definitely be able to make use of the Wi-Fi component of the update.
Motorola has confirmed that the update will be available for the Moto 360 in ‘the next few weeks’ and talked a little about the various components of the update. The Moto 360 will be able to use Wi-Fi as the headline feature, but here’s Motorola’s take on the upcoming update :
Over Wi-Fi, you’ll be able to use your Moto 360 when you are out of Bluetooth range from your phone.
Flick It
With a flick of the wrist, scroll between cards of useful info, check out new notifications or go back to the previous one without ever touching the screen.
Turn Quick Drawings into Emojis
Admit it, life is more fun with emojis. Now you can simply draw something – a burger, a clock with time, a smiley face – and Moto 360 will transform it into an emoji to send to your friends and family.
Always-on Screen, Always-on Apps
Now you can continuously view apps while optimizing battery life.
Keep an eye on your wrist in the next couple of weeks as Google pushes the update out and let us know when your Moto 360 receives its update.
