Companies are always trying to outdo each other when it comes to application development and continuous improvement. However, Samsung has created a new Gear Smartwatch that will change the way apps are accessed. Even more creative: This app won’t run on Apple’s iOS either.
Samsung’s new app, which they call Gear, comes in updated HTML 5 format for Android users only. This app is actually going to replace Google’s ambitions towards an Android crash. Because? Well, Google services are basically a default app for billions of devices. As a result, millions of dollars of revenue each year is fished directly into Google.
Samsung Gear is going to beat Google in the tech takeoff market, especially when it comes to apps. In fact, this Android app, which basically runs on a watch, will be the new industry software standard. Gear will offer faster information without having to flip a phone. How cool is this? Also, the company is really going to see why using a smartphone may even become obsolete in the next three years, including changing the way the iPhone competes in the app market!
Samsung has been able to reinvent the app marketplace by putting a smart app on a new but familiar platform. The question now will be whether our people will really wear watches instead of smartphones. Google thinks they will, which is why the native company is doing everything it can to make it up to the Gear.
When planning to develop an app of your own, you might want to consider how Samsung decided to bypass Google by beating the company at its own game. They beat them at their own game by not doing what they do under a different brand, but by doing what they do in a better and different way!
Take note of these changes in the app industry when developing your next app. Think long-term technology vs. consumer-adopted trends. Will you be able to attend to both? But because? Gear is going to change the way apps are developed and which smartphones will actually deliver interactive data without the use of a cell phone. Will you be prepared to handle this transition, should it happen, in the next three years?
Again, these are all points and trends to keep in mind as you move forward with your own creative and functional app development efforts.
