Google also announced that it is working with consumer electronic brands such as Asus, HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung on Android Wear devices, as well as with chip makers such as Broadcom, Qualcomm and Intel — as well as fashion brands like the Fossil Group.

Android and Chrome chief Sundar Pichai confirmed that the company was working on offering tools for developers and manufacturers to make Android better suited for devices such as smartwaches at SXSW last week.
