Dear knowledgeable ones,

I want a Fossil metawatch, but that is rather predicated on it working nicely with a Nokia N9.

While I realise that an app has yet to be developed for the N9 so that it can push notifications to the metawatch, i don't see that as a problem in itself.

However, according to this review:

"The most immediate roadblock is broad handset compatibility. Fossil tells us that iOS 5 is the first
version that gives them a “realistic shot” at porting OpenWatch — and even then, Apple doesn’t expose full access to the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) that MetaWatch uses to communicate. Furthermore, SPP isn’t fully or properly implemented in many Android phones that Fossil has tried"

A reply from David Rosales, someone who is I presume a metawatch developer:

"While it's not on our immediate list of projects, I don't think there are any Meego roadblocks with regards to Bluetooth or background tasks. Find me a developer who would like to help tackle it and own or contribute to an opensource project. Let's do it! "

I couldn't 'develop' my way out of a wet paper bag, so how about it?

Metawatch due to ship from TI on the 29th of September:
