Yes, Glass runs on Android, says CEO Larry Page - Firstpost

Would you like to make Firstpost your default homepage?   Yes | No Google CEO Larry Page, told investors in the company's Q1 earnings call that he's really excited about upcoming Motorola products. "…Having seen Motorola's upcoming products myself, I am really excited about the potential there. In just under a year they've accomplished a lot and have impressive velocity and execution," he said. The Google CEO and co-founder also spoke about the kind of devices that one should expect to see. He said, "Battery life is a challenge for most people … you shouldn't need to carry a charger around with you to make it through the day. If your kid spills their drink on your tablet, the screen shouldn't die. And when you drop your phone, it shouldn't shatter. There's real potential to invent new and better experiences — ones that are much faster and more intuitive." Larry Page in this file photo. AFP Will Motorola's new smartphone have all of these futures? Hopefully so. As far as Glass was concerned Page said, "I get chills when I use a product that is the future, and that happens when I use Glass. Someday we'll all be amazed that computing involved fishing around in pockets and purses." Google has started handing out the first batch of Glass device to US developers. Page also confirmed that Glass will run on Google's Android OS. Page also spoke about Google Fiber as well indicating that this, along with Glass is perhaps a strong area of future growth of the company. On Google Fiber he said, "We started Google Fiber because Sergey thought it would be great to show how high-speed Internet access can improve people's lives. Three years later, our first homes are live in Kansas City, and in the last two weeks we have announced plans to roll-out the service in Austin and Provo." Page also mentioned Google Now and the future of Voice-based search. He said, "Voice commands are going to be increasingly important. It's just much less hassle to talk than type! So this quarter we launched Chrome support for web speech APIs. Developers can now easily add voice recognition into their web apps. We expect to see a lot of innovation there."
