Apple Watch, Android Wear and Wearables
Urban Airship Inc

With Android Gear watches already in the market and Apple Watch near on the horizon, businesses and developers are scrambling to try to figure out how watches and other wearables fit into their plans.

And beyond the opportunities for businesses, there remain fundamental questions about consumer interest in these products. Who will buy them? What will they use them for? Will concepts like quantified self reach a larger audience?

Join our esteemed panel in discussing Apple Watch, Android Gear and wearables at this month's Mobile Portland meeting.
