The fact that Google Glass came from the hands of Mountain View has led the whole world to think that the operating system that would run would be Android. But the truth is that they have been very fast assumptions by all of us, because there has been no official confirmation by the company until today. And now yes, we can affirm without fear that Google Glass will carry an android operating system, since this has been confirmed by Larry Page himself after the presentation of Google's first quarter financial results.
Larry Page's words about it were «Obviously, Google Glass has Android«. So you can't make it any clearer. What we do not know is what version of the operating system the glasses will be wearing at the time of their commercial release, but in one way or another this can be a more than necessary push for the mobile operating system, because although it clearly leads the smartphone market as system, has gone from being the flag in the marketing campaigns themselves, to disappearing from them, where manufacturers focus more on showing us their user interfaces or their custom layers of Android itself, without just naming it.
Mountain View's Android operating system is an open source system that developers can use to run it on any device that has some control over it. The place where the android is more popular is in the smartphones, and also in the tablets; but we are already seeing it in some notebooks, ibooks, miniPCs, or the popular AndroidTV. The trick is to work on it and on each device to create a stable and powerful system, something that Android has achieved millions of times offering incredible agility in the system regardless of the type of device.
So why wouldn't Google Glass have Android running through its veins? It was logical to think that this would be the case, and indeed, we already know that this will be the case. Although Larry Page did not get wet at all and did not get wet on the issue of whether Google plans to release the code of this version for Google Glass. We will continue to pay attention to this type of information for developers, which we believe is very interesting.
