The first applications for Android Wear begin to arrive
Google hosted the Google I/O conference a month ago a couple of weeks and they took the opportunity to launch Android Wear This is the version of the operating system adapted to smart accessories as watches or sports bracelets With Android Wear we can receive notifications directly on our wrist, answer messages, silence the phone and even keep track of our daily activity.The first models to ship with Android Wear are the Samsung Gear Live and the LG G Watch, both now available for purchase online purchase from the store itself Google Play. The devices are already here, but now the applications were missing, because Android Wear requires developers to adapt applications to the new system. The first applications for Android Wear are already arriving, we'll tell you what some of them are.
Evernote users who get an Android Wear watch can now use the app from their wrist. This tool allows us to receive notifications, write notes using only our voice and also search through our notes. Google also provides its native notes application, we are referring to Google Keep. In this case the functions are not as varied, but you can also create notes with your voice .Along the same lines is Trello, an application that allows us to create advanced to-do lists, more focused on large projects that require more exhaustive control.
Android Wear also welcomes Runkeeper andRuntastic, two applications that allow us to keep track of our runs, recording the distance covered, calories burned and other data. The bad thing is that to make them work we will have to take our smartphone with us, only the watch is not enough since it does not have a GPS antenna. Other applications available are Eat24 to order food at home, Fly Delta to take our boarding passes always on top (if we fly with Delta, of course), Lyft to call a car that will take us where we need to go (it's similar to Uber) and Level money to keep track of the daily budget spent.
Philips also debuts the Hue Control app, which is communicates with the Philips Hue lamps so we can change the lighting color with just a touch or a voice command. How could it be otherwise, Android Wear will also allow us to see the weather with the application 1Weather, although Google Now will also be in charge of displaying alerts about this issue.
At the moment Android Wear is in a very early phase, but the response from the developers is being fast If they continue at this pace, the range of applications will be very broad in a short time. We remind you that devices with Android Wear are compatible with any Android smartphone having version Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or higher.
