Android Wear is a truly compelling wearable platform that engages both users and developers. Existing Android users will discover catharsis in performing notification triage, and learn to appreciate the simple voice- and touch-based actions developers hav...
Other than this annoying niggle, it's a promising start for Google's fledgling wearables OS. It's heartening to see that there's a decent selection of apps already, some of which provide a tempting glimpse of what's to come. We can see the platform takin...
