York City, NY, USA (October 29, 2013) -- Samsung Galaxy Gear, the

Lance Ulanoff has already alerted the developer's community of 70
third-party apps ready for the Galaxy Gear when it launches in the
U.S. in October. When he quizzed Samsung execs on whether apps are
ported or built, they acknowledged that they're mostly built. Samsung
Mobile's Chief Product Officer Kevin Packingham, however, clarified:
Since the apps are all Android-based, "it's typically slimming
it down, not a complete rewrite."
As
for where the rest of the social network apps are (at the unveiling
the Gear only had Path), Ryan Bidan, Director of Product Marketing
for Samsung Mobile, said, "There are safe expectations that
additional social networks are coming in short order."
While
the Galaxy Gear can already take pictures and sense its own movement
and orientation, the initial set of apps and connected devices
(namely just one, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3) only scratch the surface
of what's possible with the device. Samsung plans to deliver a set of
open APIs to developers so they can engage with all the sensors on
the Galaxy Gear and leverage its persistent connection to the phone.
Finally,
when asked how the Gear can succeed where, for instance, Microsoft
Spot watches failed, Packingham first offered an admittedly trite
answer, "The technology available to us makes a big difference,"
adding, "These devices are genuinely intelligent." He also
noted that they run actual operating systems (Android) and have
access to far more real-time data than their ill-fated predecessors.
They're also more adaptable and flexible, putting for instance, your
social network on your wrist. According to Bidan, who was at
Microsoft during the Spot era, "the technology is finally
catching up to the expectations." They also believe the
smartphone era has helped train and prepare consumers for this new
age of smart watches.
