Well Am guessing LG is developing it using Android Wear since Google and LG seem to be Nexus partners last couple of years .Too new for now to be sure .

EDIT : Now a Motorola model announced , Moto 360

Lol if the Gear gets canceled, doesn't matter. Hopefully the price point of these ones will be competitive and cheaper. Don't mind the wait. In the mean time if the Pebble comes on sale, I will pick one up.

Motorola and LG better not do the following, and if they do, they won't get my money lol:

1) Make it exclusively for Motorola/LG smart phones.
2) This is a Google one also - make it only for the US first, then rest of the world. Better be a worldwide launch or at least North America.

Well when the Galaxy Nexus first came out, I think it was US only. The Chromecast is still US only lol. The Moto G first came to the US only lol.

That being aside, I guess you are right, but even then. I won't get my hopes too high yet :(

True, and so was the Chromecast - an accessory. Sadly we are still waiting for it here in Canada. Either way I am still looking forward to it.

Yah but Chromecast is about content , licensing etc ( Google doesn't offer content in Canada due to excessive fees ) ... This is just an accessory , just like that Gear we ordered

It's just an extension of Google Now on your wrist and maybe more , no idea yet , just been announced lol
