The first real smart watch is from India

The first real smart watch is from India, and is the cheapest

A bunch of Indian whiz-teens overtook IT giants like Apple, Google, Samsung and Sony in bringing out a fully functional smart watch. Androidly Systems, the Delhi based start-up has given the watch also the same name-Androidly. They claim it to be the  as the smallest Android device in the world.

And, who made it? A team of five who prefer to call themselves 'team of dreamers' One of them is in his late teens, the other four in early twenties! All bitten by the computer bug and the entrepreneur bug.

This is how the Android team compare themselves with other smart watch brands 

More than half a dozen smart watches are already in the market--including the much hyped Pebble from a startup of the same name, and those from giant corps like Sony and Motorola--the Sony LiveView and MotorACTV.

However, all of them are just add-ons to your smartphone. None of them work independently. They just display information from the phone--incoming texts, tweets, and other notifications.

1.        Androidly does everything itself. It is a fully featured Android   smartphone that you wear on your wrist. 

    In Androidly there is a phone, there is a camera, there is GPS (displayed on the tiny 2-inch screen though). You can make and receive phone calls, shoot photos with the 2-megapixel cam, and navigate routes.

There has been jeers asking if it is a 'big smartwatch' or a 'small wearable phone'? 

It’s all about optimisation and compromise.Whatever is lost in slimness is more than compensated for in functionality. Androidly runs hardware specifications found in a low-budget mini handset: 

416 MHz processor
256 MB RAM
8 GB of storage via SD card
2 megapixel camera
2-inch, 320 x 240 pixel capacitive touchscreen
GPS / aGPS, accelerometer, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and GSM network support
And the machine runs on Android 2.2 Froyo

Not stunning specs in the time of quad-core and octa-core processors with other matching hardware, and Android in its 4.3 version. But remember, it doesn’t have to power a 5-inch HD display, it is just an experimental startup. Much can follow.
