Official TWRP Support Comes To The Omate TrueSmart Smartwatch

January 6th - via: androidpolice.com
Remember when Pebble blew its $100,000 Kickstarter funding goal out of the water by raising over 50 times that much? Well it's not the only watch born from that crowdfunding platform to bring in a ton of cash. The Omate Truesmart watch, despite being even bulkier than most of the already chunky competition, finished its Kickstarter campaign with over $1,000,000. (Read More)

It looks like a shipping status update has arrived from the folks at Omate.

Kickstarter’s Omate shows us the possibilities of the Samsung Galaxy Gear

October 4th - via: technobloom.com
Rumors and leaks persist that Samsung is indeed working on their own smartwatch. In fact, virtually every major mobile player is interested in the potential of the market. Sony managed to penetrate the market early, which gives them the first hit advantage, but Samsung and Apple are not to be counted out. While we still have no idea how Apple will tackle the smart watch category, we do have an idea of what Samsung is up to. (Read More)

September 20th - via: droid-life.com

Omate TrueSmart Smartwatch Finishes Kickstarter Campaign With 10x $100k Target, Bulks Up With Multiple Stretch Goal Improvements

September 20th - via: androidpolice.com
Where to begin. First things first, this isn't your typical Kickstarter-funded smartwatch that syncs with a smartphone somehow differently than the other umpteen options. The Omate TrueSmart truly is a smart watch, as it incases its own dual-core processor running Android 4.2.2. This distinguishing feature has attracted over 4,000 backers to part with $1 million, ten times more than the $100,000 goal Omate was aiming for. David ripped this watch a new one when its campaign first begun, but I think it deserves a new start. If you haven't been following this campaign, I present to you, the Omate TrueSmart smartwatch. (Read More)
