Rumours of a Google-powered smartwatch just got a little more tangible. Both CNET and the Wall Street Journal claim that the search firm is teaming up with LG to make Android-based wristwear. We still don't know much about the hardware's capabilities , but CNET believes that google would follow the nexus model and create a reference device that would launch at google I/O in June. The WSJ notes that other manufacturers could also join tha fray. None of the companies involved have commented on the rumor so far, so you won't want to start budgeting for the ganget just yet. However, a Google-badged, LG-made smartwatch would make sense when two companies have enjoyed success making phones like the Nexus 5, and LG i already designing wearables like Lifeband Touch.
