Google Reportedly Building an OS for the "Internet of Things"

The Information Reports that, Google is Working on a New Android-Based Operating System, to Run Specifically on the Emerging Class of Low-Power Devices, a.k.a. the "Internet of Things". This New OS Dubbed, "Brillo", is supposedly Quite Petite and May Require as Little as 32 or 64 Megabytes of RAM to Run. This Marks a Significant Departure for Google, Considering its Latest Android Build Demanded at least 512MB of RAM. However, there's a Lot to be Gained by being the OS that Drives Out Smart Bulbs, Thermostats and Locks. Not only Does it Free OEMs from Having to Design their own IoT Communications Schemes, it Should also Strongly Position the Mountain View-Based Company as the Invisible Backbone of Tomorrow's Smart Home. If this Rumor is Indeed True, Google will Likely Announce it, at Next Week's I/O Developers Conference. Stay Tuned.
