WSJ repeats Google Watch: Now integration, focus on battery life, coming soon

Two weeks ago, we ran a report titled: ‘Google Watch is happening soon, heavy into Kit Kat/Google Now functionality‘

Google is focusing on longer battery life and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.

The WSJ is now “hearing the same things” (video below)

•  Google Inc.’s smartwatch is in late-stage development and the company is in talks with Asian suppliers to begin mass production of the device
• The smartwatch will be able to communicate with other devices such as a smartphone, and draw information such as travel schedules from a user’s email through Google Now
• With its wristwatch, Google is aiming to address two criticisms of smartwatches that skeptics have long made: usefulness and battery life.

Uncanny.
