Are there any app programmers out there that can make a simple NEM wallet for a smartwatch? I will help add to the development bounty if this ever becomes a project.

Here is a teardown of Samsung's new Gear 2 smartwatch www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Gear+2+Teardown/23990 Some neat features include immersion up to 1 meter of water, 2MP camera, heartrate monitor and IR TV remote.

I know a developer who make a payment app for Pebble https://getpebble.com/. The last time I talked to him about Bitcoin he is not that interested but that was just a brief mentioning of Bitcoin. Anyway if that's the something the community wants then at some point it is best starting to look for a developer and contract him. Bounty system works best when it is really big and got advertised massively.

This looks really promising!

While everyone is waiting on the NEM Alpha, here are some more updates on wearable tech.

We should make wearable NEM clothing that lets you transmit NEM, like people shared music in this paper: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-02556-3_59

Has there been an app released so far that can send and receive altcoins by Bluetooth or NFC?
I mean, keeping it as consumer friendly as possibly, and not needing to show long addresses.
Just a few clicks, and the money is sent.

Maybe NEM can be the first. That'd be great if we had an "in" with retailers, and have it implemented at POS.

I have to get me one of those smart watches

Dunno if it has been done but it's a great idea. Payment via NFC is almost common now so why should NEM be an exception
