According to a knower of things,*@evleaks, Google’s*long rumored entry*into the budding smartwatch market will come at this year’s Google IO in June and will be manufactured by LG.
We haven’t heard much from Google regarding a smartwatch, often leaving tech bloggers and enthusiasts to piece the puzzle together over the past year.**We know that last year*Google purchased WIMM, a smartwatch manufacturer, and quietly added the wearable company into the Android fold. We also know that Google has beenawarded a patent*or two for*smartwatches*in the past, slowly adding to the intellectual property needed for successful entry into this market.
As for LG as the manufacturer of choice, LG and Google have a good history together, producing televisions with Google TV, the**Nexus 4, and the recent**Nexus 5. In fact, it was reported a year ago that LG was getting into the*Android smartwatch craze, so this little*gem*should be right up LG’s alley.

Me too was my first Android, and the 4 is my second. Now im waiting google but I'm thinking in buy a Smartq z, i need a watch!!

Very interested in this. I hope they tweak Google Now to not be so internet-centric and to be a little more like a personal assistant. I don't know how an internet-centric Google Now will play out on a smartwatch.

It works fine on the Galaxy Gear on Null. I love it, use it all the time on day to day things. It does have great audio responses to questions but your right, it's no Siri.

I read in engadget a report and until the next year google don't start with is own watch. I can't wait to the next year, I want a watch now. I like the SmartQ Z because is cheap but...

exciting!
the "original" cache disappeard?
mistery
PLEASE let this alleged hardware issue be the addition of a trackball/trackpad and a better casing than cheap plastic that gizmodo reported.
Let this be a standalone phone and not a Galaxy S with Stock Android.
i think i read on giz that it will be plastic. think i may wait for nexus 3

word...
Google needs some damn designers...lol. People with vision...the Nexus S/2 should looked like the HTC ONE concept some design student mocked up...with a few additions for usability.
You guys know Google doesnt' actually design phones right?
They basically call up sony/htc/apple/samsung and ask what new platforms/devices they have coming up. The respective companies show them a line up, google bids on them, and then they tweak it slightly (color/finish/very minor hw changes).
Cool, so rumour was true I hope it will be released soon...
I really hope it lives up to the nexus name. Not just a galaxy-S running stock android with an unlockable bootloader...
yay! coming soon with Gingerbread. 4 inch screen with trackball please.

As someone who has the misfortune of owning one of these turds, I'm going to say that this is possibly the worst consumer product of any type I've ever owned. Seriously, if anyone is thinking about buying one, I'd send you mine for cost of doing to free up space in my junk drawer.

EDIT: For anyone thinking about taking me up on the offer -- it's already spoken for, sorry! But really all you're missing out on is disappointment!
That watch is crap just like those that promote it with youtube videos or comments around amazon and forums like this one.

i'll pay shipping if you want to send it to me
Mine works great. The latest LiveView software has made a huge improvement in connection reliability.
the bigger question, can it run cm?
i might look into buying one just for teh giggles of having an android powered watch
edit: seems like everywhere has it for around 25 bucks
edit2: seems there is a reason, this thing is a hunk of crap and the better version 2 is 150 bucks, same as the motoactv
$10 +$5 shipping at http://www.dailysteals.com/ today 10/24.

Just because you work at Samsung, doesn't mean you have a Samsung device. So I'm sure it's real.

Hmm, I'm sure it's bad if they are tweeting from a competitor's device for their own media messages?
Please have some sense...
You are right, maybe not all Samsung employee's have a Samsung device, but as a company procedure social media should be done from Samsung devices?
If this is true then what the people at Samsung are telling us is that " hey we are selling you crap we don't consider is better than an Iphone ".
The S3 wasn't released on May 3rd right?
The bad thing is I remember looking at this very tweet and didn't even notice

A right **** up there, bit like the footballer Ozil from Real Madrid whom Nike filed a lawsuit against after he was seen play some games wearing Adidas boots, this may not be quite as serious but given that this the official Samsung twitter (shi*ter more like)
and whoever posted this done so from an iPod or iPhone (it says both) it doesn't look very good at all.
I bet whoever did that either:
a) was not from Samsung, but from a PR firm hired by Samsung to handle social medias, such as Twitter, FB, G+, etc
b) does not work for Samsung ANYMORE!
I bet my coins on option (a) above since it has been very common for large corporations to hire firms specialized in digital medias to handle their PR. Such firms not only have control of the social media profiles, but they also create a lot of hype and buzz using fake or unsuspicious profiles and blogs.
I have dated a girl that worked in a firm like that... once I completely understood what she does I couldn't respect her anymore, so I ditched in 3.2 seconds.
It's funny! Apple puncture.
maybe dirty marketing strategies
LOL hahaha

Moto 360 smart watch announced to go with your Moto X

Motorola just announced a smart watch, and it looks much better then most out there. I think they are continuing to impress.
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/03/18/motorola-announces-moto-360-because-its-hip-not-to-be-square/
Finally a smart watch that looks like a watch. I'm still not sure I'm interested enough to actually get one but it certainly looks good.
I got a Pebble that's gonna be for sale soon.
Not sure I have a use for a smart watch either, but this is the first one that looks decent and could possibly interest me. I had a Motorola pagerwatch back in 1990, might be fun to have another Motorola watch.
I have a soft spot for high end watches, this one looks like it might float my boat.
Tapatalked from my G PAD 8.3
can not wait. that matte black metal looks great.
Yes I just saw this too, and I love watches. It looks very nice but not sure if I will ever buy one. I think of watches as accessories that last for years and would be afraid of being stuck with dated tech a year later.

As cool as this looks... it's tough to get excited about it. This is Gen 1 hardware on a 0.9b platform. Given Google's "ship it now, ask questions later" approach to technology - I am guessing it is going to be a mess initially (hell, Android still hasn't gotten bluetooth right and its been how many years?).
But here's hoping I'm wrong...

i am willing to be a retail beta tester for this. lol.
Looks like I found my next smart watch this summer
This looks nice but a little big for my taste. I'll have to check it out when it releases. I have the Sony Smartwatch 1. It works great with the Moto X. I like being able to read all my text messages, emails and play songs (adjust volume as well), while driving. Your wrist is on the wheel anyway. It's a easy look to see messages, or tap to adjust music playback and volume.
No where can I find if this device is a stand alone one or has to be connected to the phone. Anyone knows? Thx!
I almost bought a smart watch but decided against it because I didn't care for the styling. If Motorola's looks as good as it does in the concept video I may buy one at release.

The article has been updated:
After contacting SamsungUK, Samsung confirmed that these reports were published due to incorrect information some of its branches received and published upon them, the company apologized for these false reports that was provided to us and its customers and the firmware is now available

The firmware is available to download: http://forum.youmobile.org/downloads/?sa=view&down=5357
If this notice is true it will be a shame for Samsung's side. They want to put many smartphones and tablets in the market but they can't update all so they invent stories like these. All my android's equipments are Samsung but Tab Pro will be the last equipment from this brand! And i bealive that are more people thinking like me.

I am also never getting another samsung device...if they tease their customers like this. They must just hate repeat buyers. But really, it they did release the update, it would be throttled down to encourage sales of the newer tabs. This is what I believe they did with kk. Why else would the tab s have no lag, and ours have lag on every screen change with the same hardware? Dirty tricks! I am done.
Device Support 3 years. We have to get at least something

Q3-Q4))
From another chart I've seen, the first batch of Samsung tab getting M will be the Tab A. Yes, not the new 4:3 "flagship" Tab S2, not the older flagships Tab S and TabPRO, not our PRO 8.4 which has a Qualcomm SoC and should be easier to maintain, but the lowly Tab A!
I wonder what had gotten into Samsung these days...

[WARNING: XDA Premium 4.0.13+ lacks Signature function - do not update]
I really don't understand them. It's much more easier have 10 devices and update them than have like 100 devices and TRY to update them. It's a shame!
I am not surprised with lack of Samsung devices selling. First Samsung is expensive, Second they just promises about updates and Third KNOX sux!
These is the main reasons to me to abandon Samsung!
