Google has announced the first smartwatches powered by its Android Wear operating system are now available for pre-order.



Ten grand man, and a Smart Watch (but not during league play, of course) - http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28030661

I dunno, dude.  That thing have a cam on it?  Because I'm a lefty, and I don't want to accidentally set up a Google Hangout while my google's hangin' out during a solo zesty enterprise.

Smart watch?  I don't wear a watch. I'm still tryin' to figure out this smart phone. Man I miss my old flip up phone.

I'm still have a land line.I had a nice big numbered cell that all it did was make and receive phone calls. But then it crapped out on me....and I retired....so I did not replace it.
My Special Lady has a cell if i really need to use one.

Id potentially be interested in if there was a GPS.
It would be handy on the motorcycle.
But not for 10 grand. That's ridiculous. Especially considering that you can get an Android table that's like $100 bucks. And they are good. I bought one for my kid last Christmas and liked it so much I got one myself.

My only problem with my 'droid tablet is I don't use it every day, so when I turn it on it has to download and install one paraquat worth of updates and is pretty much locked up while that's happening.  Since I need it early on Friday mornings, I make sure to turn it on Thursday afternoon so it can get most of that out of the way.

Glad I don't have a lot of applications on this, I'd have to leave it on 24/7 so it could get all the updates!

Mine just shows a little icon up top that I have to click to do the updates.
But the one annoying thing is that if I don't use it for a long time and don't leave it plugged in and the power gets very low it won't start. It just shows a little battery with a changing graphic and even though it's plugged in it won't go any further till it charges to some level.
They don't all do that. I have another that you can plug in and use even if it's dead.
