When Google introduced the Fitbit Air, I assumed we had been getting the standard wearable rollout. You already know the drill: a clear launch, a couple of protected strap colours, perhaps a few \u201cpremium\u201d leather-based choices that present up six months later at a markup. That\u2019s mainly the wearable playbook<\/a> at this level.<\/p>\n

However, you recognize what Google truly did? As a substitute of treating equipment as an afterthought, they\u2019ve revealed full design tips. I\u2019m speaking about 2D CAD recordsdata and a correct certification pathway that actively invitations third-party creators to construct for the Fitbit Air. Not simply suitable bands, however precise Fitbit Air equipment designed by anybody prepared to work throughout the specs.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s tremendous attention-grabbing.<\/p>\n

As a result of Google Fitbit Air customization is beginning to appear to be a small, managed ecosystem. It\u2019s not absolutely open, neither is it absolutely DIY, however undoubtedly greater than the closed loop we\u2019re used to in wearables. And that shift clues us into the place Google is heading with {hardware} slightly than simply the product.<\/p>\n
