When Samsung took the covers off of their long rumored Smartwatch at IFA this week, they pointed out that there would be over 70 applications that users can download and install on their watch. This is an attempt to set the Galaxy Gear apart from several of their competitors in the wearable technology race. We reported a few applications yesterday but now have a larger list. Below is the first 12 in the list. Interestingly the list seems to be devoid of any Social Networking applications with the exception of Path.
| Application Name | Description |
| Atooma | A simple task scheduler for Android that allows a user to specify conditional statements. (Similar to IFTTT) |
| Banjo | Banjo is a tool that will live stream photos from any location or event in the world. |
| Evernote | Evernote is one of the most popular note taking applications on the internet with support for every major platform. Evernote will essentially allow the Galaxy Gear to view notes and presumably take voice notes and upload photos to your evernote account. |
| Glympse | Glympse is the first of many fitness centric applications for the Galaxy Gear. This application allows runners to see their path and statistics about their exercise routine. |
