Android has been a phenomenal success for smartphones and tablets. Last year, we saw the introduction of Android Wear, Google’s first foray into a type of device that doesn’t pack as much computing power as our larger smart devices. Google, obviously, had to strip down Android in order to not bog down our electronic timepieces; however, even the most budget friendly smartwatch is still much more “smart” than let’s say a blender or a lamp. So back to the drawing board Google went in order to get Android to its barest essentials.
With that in mind, Google just announced Brillo at I/O 2015, a bare-bones Android designed to tidy up the Internet of Things (IoT).
Brillo will support WiFi, Bluetooth, among a few other things one might find in the Android operating system. Most importantly, Google introduced a new language for all of these devices, from microwaves to Android tablets and to the internet in general, to talk to one another: Weave. A great, self-explanatory name!

Expect all of this to begin rolling out in Q3 and Q4 of this year!
