Google's Project Brillo is an operating system for the Internet of Things
Google boasts that, again because of its Android roots, Brillo is easy to secure, meaning that many device manufacturers can get to grips with the software. Broad silicon support is also included, Google notes, adding that developers can manage Brillo from a centralised management control system. Google also points out that Brillo has low system requirements, hinting that as speculation last week suggested, the software will have its sights set on on low-powered devices with as little as 32MB or 64MB RAM. However, this was not confirmed during the keynote.
