I went back and read how things went time wise for the intro of the Gear Fit 2.

a snip of test...

It was only last week that images of the Gear Fit 2 fitness band and the Gear IconX Bluetooth earbuds were leaked online. Samsung released the original Gear Fit some two years ago so it’s about time that it came out with a successor. The images we saw last week came from an unofficial source but now Samsung’s own website has leaked the images of the Gear Fit 2 and Gear IconX, hinting at an official announcement in the near future.


It was shipping globally 1 wk after the official announcement...from the earliest leaked photos to shipping globally?

maybe one month

Brian snip in last cc....

No, the unit outlook has not changed at all. And as I said in the prepared remarks, I’m actually optimistic about –understanding a little bit more how they are planning to bring this to market because I think there will be some good news associated with that. And I also think that contributes to them maintaining their idea about the unit forecast.

I think there will be some good news associated with that.


.....in the rich coral reef of señor fusion, IoT, eFPGA there is NO time for a quiet period.
For the casual reader there were 2 small companies related to voice that went to M & A at very high premiums last week.

Kitt.AI went to Baidu and Samsung took the Greek voice experts

Samsung quietly acquires Greek text-to-speech startup Innoetics for under $50M

For me Gear Fit Pro will be fun for more than the obvious reason. 

The other one is how they will Use voice...to Bixby as it evolves to be a life coach? It was in their trademark application that their digital assistant would be getting the fitness data.....

There are many info nuggets that support the idea that the hard code of the sensory block was ONE GOOD idea?
