Very few apps... - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello folks!
I bought a Galaxy Gear and I am not very impressed by the quantity of available apps. I know this is a new product and there was no development yet. Do you guys have any clue if some developers are working or will work on it soon?

I have 35-40 apps. Most of them are clocks or useless things. Where are you located to have only 14 apps? I guess this is based on the country...? I am in Canada.
Can't wait to read my facebook or twitter notifications directly on my watch...

You're right
I am just a little anxious because I paid like 370$ for this device and you know, sometimes, companies are making devices and if they don't sell enough, it is forgotten and users are abandoned.
Ok, maybe I am too defeatist haha! Let's be patient

so this in another post looks good for apps we want

Will try to install Nova and other apps that I will extract from my phone via adb.

Samsung did say they had 70 apps in total they had partnerships with. The issue with the smartwatches will always be how did the mfg implement the OS its not like a simple android os update it could be very different and cause issues from one device to another.

Soccer livescores 1.4.6 is free gives all leagues and world cup and international and friendlies etc
I also like Soccer Livescore. Just need the results on the go, doesn't need all the backgruond information some apps are providing.
yer i liked Soccer Livescore but i wanted something like the Sky Sports App that is on the Iphone, and this app comes close.
It even has match commentry.

I agree this app is well worth the money and is being constantly developed too.
Google Scoreboard gives me all the footie results I want/need including as-they-happen goal updates.

It does!? I'm jumping on this right away. All other apps I tried had terrible coverage of Leagues 1 and 2. Everybody knows that's where the real football's at anyway.

I'm revitalizing this thread as this app is awesome and needs to be seen more.

Developers: any links to best practices for Gear development?

Okay, new to this. Started up a gear yesterday and I'm impressed. Now I want to go further... (already bored lol). Any links to docs on how to develop for this thing. I already know that this it is standard Android and that one can write standalone apps the usual way for this thing. What I'm interested in is how the communication model works with companion apps on the phone. I suspect it will be done by running services on the phone, but how can one interact with those services via a Bluetooth connection. Or is it event driven?
I'm really surprised that Samsung hasn't publiced anything about this on their site? What? Don't they like developers to jump on the bandwagon?
Best advice is to read this forum you will learn all there is to know

So you think they work with special APIs? Or just the standard APIs? I saw there were already some interesting apps on the Samsung market like for example Zine. It has a controller architecture. On the Gear side you get headlines pushed and by tapping on a headline the Zine app is opened with the corresponding article. Can this can be done with standard Android APIs or do we need a special APIs for that. I can imagine that this can be done with the standard event model.
@lucf I did, couldn't find anything interesting wrt this topic. If you stumble upon some good posts let me know! Thx
Appears that Samsung kept it 'invite-only' for now:

Crap, so it does work with proprietary APIs? Right, might return this thing and wait till it is open for development, cheaper and will have more apps. They should have written that on the box. With their crap apps.

"We need to make sure we're ready to go big."
Thats a quote from the article, they will be released. Although not just yet..
they never said they will release the sdk to the public, did they? so please stop making false claims.
samsung might as well decide that they are not ready to go big with this generation (lack of wifi, poor software etc). what then?

It's definitely a remarkable manoeuvre. Another remarkable thing is that everything is kept in the Samsung app store. It's not a secret that Samsung has big ambitions. Maybe they are trying to build their own ecosystem in the Android ecosystem. Maybe they gonna lock the APIs in some kind of Samsung Appstore service. Meh .. let's hope Google comes up with a watch soon and an addition to the Android framework for smart watches.
I recently tried to release an app to the Samsung store specifically for the gear but it was rejected for "other" reasons...
Seems like the public are just unknowing beta testers of a half-arsed device by Samsung.

Tried to release my Calculator app that only runs on the Gear. I've since emailed back asking what "other" reasons they are talking about.
Just speculation on my part --
I have a feeling that Samsung is simply testing waters with this initial release of Gear. They are very serious about it, but they also know that it's not entirely polished product. They wanted to be first to market.
I think the 2rev of Gear might have some radical changes. They could probably build it on top of Kitkat (optimized for low memory devices?) and some new low energy communication protocols. Probably they will then open the APIs for all devs. Maybe we will also see some of the curved screen goodness!
But it's for sure they will never make the Gear compatible with all Android by default -- doesn't make a good business sense. Google will obviously try to make their smartwatch compatible with all Android, and that makes perfect business sense for google.
