One of the recent blogs from Flurry indicates the rise of
mobile app addicts who tap on an app more than 60
times a day. The other strata of users is not lagging
behind either. Smartphones have invaded our lives and
people have started to recognize it too. A recent video
called ‘Look Up’ is currently doing rounds in the web that
depicts intrusiveness of smartphone in our lives. But it
seems like if any one of the tech biggies has taken it

Android wear is a round shaped watch that is focused to
make your life easy without asking too much attention
from your side unlike the smartphone. Google has
released the developer preview for the device and has
also come out with a video.
According to Gartner the market for wearable devices will
become worth 5 billions and it includes many devices
from various manufacturers. However, if google is
coming out with own device, there got to be something
special about it. Till date, whenever we thought about a
wearable device, we could not think it without the
smartphone. Infact, smartphone makes the best out of a
device because it can run an immersive app to control the
device.
This is what Google is trying to disrupt with android
wear. Apps will be developed exclusively for android wear
and the device can intuitively add value to the user’s life.
by taking into consideration factors such as location, local
time, user behavior etc. Hence, if you have an android
device you may let your fingertips rest and avoid your

Based on location, the device can also suggest you nearby
locations and lead you to find it efficiently. The device will
also prompt you about the latest or an important
news/fact about any particular location. Unlike the
smartphone, that needs to be taken out of the pocket,
the message consumption in android wear will be
instantaneous with gesture based swipe and quick voice
commands.
If we consider this with the existing, smartphone
dependant devices, the android wear comes out at top
due to its notable agility. On to it, android OEMs have
been inflating the screen size every quarter, making these
devices a difficult choice for purposes that demands
agility. No one would be comfortable running in the park
with a 5 inch phone. It is difficult.
In a market with smartphone dependant wearable
devices the android wear can immediately strike
beneficial to a lot of users. It will provide an agile
alternative to help you manage your daily activities of life
which otherwise requires more effort when done through
