If you're going to give this submission that title, surely you should have linked to their actual library of apps, rather than their blog posts?

Why do you have Google ads on your app store? it looks cheap and I dont think its worth it for you guys.


Awesome... this guy at Cisco wrote a watchapp which controls their sliding door http://inpulsewatch.com/blog.asp?a=blogdetails&blogid=4

Cool idea, but there seems to be a massive misstep in logic somewhere in there. If it's supposed to be a thin client to the phone, then it needs to act like one (not run apps). If it's supposed to be a somewhat thicker client, you need to travel forward in time from 1988 until now and insert more space, provide an OS (even if it's single thread) to manage said apps and possibly more then an on/off button for input.


I hope they can get this to the level of the Timex Datalink; so far it's still very toy like.
