Pebble Smart Watch Adds Do Not Disturb Option Enhanced Notification Control
Photo by @granddiamondwit
Also included is improved control over notifications which allow the user to specify which types of messages are displayed, and enhanced iOS connectivity performance along with various bug fixes.
What’s New
Do Not Disturb. Block notifications for a set period of time (from Pebble: Settings » Notifications » Do Not Disturb).
Alarms app update. Create multiple Alarms, toggle Alarms on/off, and edit existing Alarms.
New “Snooze Alarm.” Customizable via the Pebble Alarms app.
Improved Notification Control. Specify what notifications are displayed (Notifications On, Phone Calls Only, or Notifications Off). Notification settings are now accessible more quickly through a dedicated menu (Settings » Notifications).
Improved iOS performance. Notifications are now sent more quickly from your iOS device to Pebble. After exiting Airplane Mode, Pebble will now search for connectable iOS devices immediately, instead of waiting one minute.
The device was also updated earlier this month with full support for iOS 7 notifications along with the addition of a developer SDK and APIs for Javascript, the accelerometer, data logging and persistent storage.
Originally, the Pebble raised more than $10 million on Kickstarter, potentially proving the viability of the smart watch as a product. Apple is also said to be working on its own iWatch and recently invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a new Arizona factory to make sapphire glass, perhaps for such a product.
The Pebble smart watch is available for $150 from getpebble.com and at Best Buy and AT&T retail stores.

He has already made a good use of the Watchkit SDK that Apple has released in the earlier week to develop the test version of his latest app. He has also created a short video in iOS simulator to preview the action.
This app will be available at $0.99 to let you know the demise of your own. As per the video the wearable device by Apple demonstrated the preview of the Deadline version. The Deadline version will show the current time and even the thearetical time that is left in your life.
There are several rules created by Apples Watch SDK tools including the screen resolution and complex interaction methods and that everyone needs to abide striclty.

A future LG G Watch R with 4G could be unveiled at MWC 2015
The LG G Watch R is the smartwatch Koreans with circular dial which differs from LG G Watch (say) Normal precisely because the latter is square. It is, to put it in some way, a kind of ‘premium’ version focused on a much less technology market for a much greater range of customers, else ‘fashion’?
Also, remember that the LG G Watch R brought 3G standard but nevertheless kept make or receive voice calls, so the use of a SIM was limited to data for location services, music, weather, messaging, social networking etc.
But it has been the means Business Korea which has uncovered that LG have already planned to present facing the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2015 held in Barcelona a new model, but with 4G connectivity and because yes, would make and receive voice calls. Armed, imagine, either with an internal speaker or headphones bluetooth.
Recall that one of the major updates performed by the Mountain View on your Android Wear few weeks ago was precisely that, to facilitate the connection of wireless headphones to these smartwatch to get models like the LG G Watch R work so more independent, ignoring even smartphones.
This trend actually started by Samsung Gear S (with 3G connectivity), seems to be the trend of the future market for devices that were created as a clear complement to mobile, but with each new announcement to be produces has all the earmarks of that will end up being 100% independent.

Apple Watch is On The Verge To Get Launch
Apples banking on its Apple Watch to be a success but component issues may plague the launch, expected in March, according to an analyst.
Apples devices generally sell out upon release and it seems Apple Watch will be no different but Kuo said that component issues may cause supply problems for the watch. He expects Apple will sell 2.8 million Watches in March, and sell a total of five million devices in the first quarter of 2015.
The Apple Watch will come in three variants, each expected to differ in price point. The standard Watch will come in stainless steel, with the Apple Watch Sport in silver or space grey aluminum and the luxury Watch Edition will be available in rose or yellow 18 carat gold .
"Apple Watch is right there on your wrist, so it makes all the ways you’re used to communicating more convenient. And because it touches your skin, we were able to add a physical dimension to alerts and notifications – you’ll feel a gentle tap when you receive an incoming message,” Apple says of its most personal device.
Apple Watch is on the Brink to Launch
“Apple Watch also allows you to connect with your favorite people in some new, spontaneous ways not possible with any other device.”

Apple Watch to have 512MB RAM 4GB storage
A report out of investment research firm Cowen and Company has attempted to ascertain a more detailed look at the specifications of Apples Watch with an examination of the devices supply chain. At this stage of production, it has been revealed the watch will sport 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage.
The RAM will come by way of Samsung, Micron, and Hynix, while the 4GB of onboard DRAM is expected to be supplied by a number of major NAND manufacturers.
Timothy Arcuri of the Cowen Group believes that Apple could potentially ship a variant of the Apple Watch with 8GB of onboard memory, but it is likely that the 4GB model will be the standard configuration.
Also reported is a wireless combination chip similar to the iPhone 5ss Broadcom BCM43342, which sports a GPS radio. This goes against Apples announcement that the Watch will have to be tethered to an iPhone to provide GPS data, which means that it could either be a modified version that doesnt have a GPS sensor, or Apple will disable onboard GPS functionality to save on battery life.
More notably, Apple Watch will be one of the first smartwatches to feature a dedicated system-on-chip. Unlike other smartwatch models which use smartphone SoCs, Apples S1 SoC is expected to provide superior power efficiency due to its specific design. Either way, current reports indicate daily charging for the Apple Watch, but its likely Cupertino will be doing more work in that department leading up to the early 2015 launch date.
