The company was one of the first to sell wearable tech, but it has been hit by fierce competition. They insisted they will maintain Privacy Protection and will never sell personal health data. Google stakeholder expected to be complete next year. For more on this i am joined via skype by a Technology Reporter for the Daily Telegraph in san francisco. Think you for joining us. Lets start with the business angle. Why do you think google is trying to buy fitbit for 2 billion when you can say the company is not worth that much . Was valued at just over half the amount google paid for it. It does not make much sense that it paid that much. Facebook washat interested in buying fitbit. That may be why the price was bumped up. For google it makes perfect sense. The last part of its hardware line it does not have. It does not have a wearable at the moment. You can wear it around your wrist. It provides software for several smartwatch manufacturers. In. It can bring it people theych more provide software to and collect more data than before. Barbara watching images of the different types of fitbits, fitbits, some are reminiscent of the apple watch. Is trying to do . Trying to take over, the dominance the apple watch has in that sector . There was a time it was crazy that google would launch a phone or laptop. Now there is the google pixel, which is doing fairly well. Critics say it is a great phone, great camera, great software.

[indiscernible] forle are keeping tech longer so you need better features and operating systems. Now it can really lock in. I think there is room in the market. Barbara lets talk about data protection. Fitbit has incredible access to peoples sleep patterns, heart rate, resting heart rate. It is not just about how many steps someone is taking. You can see what the state of someones help health is. They say they are not going to sell personal health data. Do you think there is a risk in the future . Wear a fitbit and will get ads on google searches that presumably you would need if you were having issues with your heart rate . Predictive algorithms about your heart rate, it is terrifying. [indiscernible] they say they will not use it for advertising. There is a lot of regulatory scrutiny. Politicians in the u. S. Are calling for google to be broken up. You do not know what a company is going to do in the future. Maybe they had never intention of signing up for an account or providing google with their personal information, yet, five years down the line, google owns it. [indiscernible] barbara i guess one way someone can keep their data is private is not linking it up to their phone or computer, but most people i would guess use it because that is how you access what is best about fitbit. Do you foresee a future where perhaps fitbit will not be compatible with an iphone . Would become android compatible, and not be a generic checkable device anyone can wear, regardless of their phone . It is an interesting question. You presume this would be a good way for google to cut it out of the equation. System iserating compatible with ios and iphone. Cutting that out would cost a large part of the customer base. It would probably be a bad decision. But it is an interesting idea. Who knows in the future where we get to. Potentially that might happen. [indiscernible] i think right now they want to keep as many users as possible. Barbara from the Daily Telegraph in san francisco, thank you for sharing your views with us.
