Gboard in Wear OS
-
@aeroild we should not expect anything not announced

These are announcements to developers, the users will see features later in the year.

@aeroild
Everything I have read in the reports suggests that this is largely what we already have i.e. using the the low copro to drive the sensors etc.
Though the difference is that this would be embedded into wear os so that all watches using a chip with a low power copro would be able to take advantage of this.
Even if this is the minimum we get it will still give a massive overall boost to the wear os platform.What is annoying is how Samsung and google are taking the credit for this, when its Suunto leading the way.
As stated Google needs to get tougher on manufacturers and insist on 1GB of ram and the use of a chip with a low power copro and redesign wear os code to take full advantage of it.

@jamie-bg Yes, Suunto seems to have been a pioneer on using the co-processor. Now that both Samsung and Fitbit are busy developing Wear OS watches I think also Suunto and we the users will benefit from this. Samsung and Fitbit using Wear OS give me hope that we will soon see apps from Youtube Music and Spotify with support for offline music and also that Google Pay for Wear will be launched in more countries.

@aeroild They already said GPay will come to a lot more countries (26 more) in may/june and also Youtube music later this year

@sindre-svellingen That’s great!
