"Google has announced that the software development kit (SDK) which will allow developers to integrate\u00A0Google's Android Wear platform with their own devices and apps will be available to download from later today.\r\n\r\nFirst announced back in March, Android Wear is Google's custom platform for smartwatches and it has already seen pledges of support from device makers such as LG,\u00A0Motorola\u00A0and Samsung.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDuring the event, Google demonstrated a Pinterest app which could notify users via a smartwatch when they're near a restaurant featured in one of their Pins.\r\n\r\nAnother demo included the Allthecooks' app automatically displaying an entire recipe on a smartwatch when opened in the app. As the user moves through each step in the recipe on\u00A0their wrist, the phone automatically updates too, to ensure it's all kept in sync.\r\n\r\nBefore today's confirmation of the SDK's arrival, keen early adopters had to make do with the developer preview, which only offered limited APIs.\u00A0Now, however, third-party developers will have all the tools they need to start making apps\u00A0for the new\u00A0devices.\r\n\r\nCheck out\u00A0our liveblog\u00A0and\u00A0Google I/O 2014 page\u00A0to keep up with all the latest announcements from the event.\r\n\r\nFeatured Image Credit - \u00A0GEORGES GOBET/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
