Pack of updates

Good day our readers! [ Русский перевод ]

Its been a while without posts and we are ready to show something that we have added during that time.
Today i would like to talk about almost everything: notifications,functions, notification status.

So lets begin.

As you can see this our main screen. Of course we are still working on interface but at the moment most important aspect is functionality. Every day we try to add something new depending on experience people get after using different smart watches. We have different ideas on what should we implement into the watches. So, lets see what information is displayed on the main screen.


First of all - battery. There is not so much to talk about but that is how all the 6 battery conditions look like at the moment. We are pretty sure it is enough to understand whether you need to charge your watches or not.Also, previously we have mentioned a 630 mah battery in our watches.We are now thinking about 900 mah battery.


Weather. I could say that we have almost finished this part. We have android application that uses free yahoo servers for receiving weather information from all over the world. Right now to get a specific weather you need to type a city you are interested in and then tap on it one more time. Straight away weather will be sent to BeGo. Hopefully pretty soon we will make this procedure automatic. Location will be set depending on your coordinates taken from the internet and then sent to watches as frequently as you want by choosing time interval.

There are 6 conditions for weather that we offer to you:







Time synchronization. As you can see there is an update button in our BeGo application. It is used for automatic time update of hours,minutes,date,month,weekday.  As i said before right now we are working on automatic update system. Same here. Once you have connected to BeGo your time and date will be updated. Of course you have an option of disabling this function if you want.


Next thing is Media control. Yes, we realized that it is very important function for people who love music. For example if you are running or sitting in a bus it is simply uncomfortable every time to pick your phone out of the pocket to switch next song. So we made it possible in BeGo. When you establish your connection with the phone you can control your music that is playing in any app on android. Later we will add a function to display a playing song.



Sms,phone notifications.
In previous post we have already mentioned that you will be able to see 5 sms messages from your phone. There is still some bug fixes to do, but actually receiving procedure works just fine. We are now working with a status for the main screen to get you informed at what time you received your last message or call.




Languages. At the moment we are not planning to add a huge variety of languages. But because of the fact that our blog is full of Russian readers we decided to add Russian encoding and fonts. Later we will translatewhole system into Russian.






Vkontakte/Facebook messages.
Sms becomes less popular because of social networks. Because of that we can not skip the fact that people chat every day. So, we decided to implement message notifications from these popular social networks.Then, you will always stay connected to your friends.It is still in early stage, but we can guarantee that soon you will see how it works on BeGo.


Future development. As you can see there is still much to do. Everyday our watches are being updated from all the sides. We make our android software easier to use, goal is to make it user friendly, one click application that works even on android 4.0.  Electronics part is being changed all the time. We try to combine all the low energy components and keep it low cost. Design also takes much time, soon we will try to make a post about buttons design.
Overall, slowly but surely we are going towards making a first assembled watches.
Also, we want to thank people who send us emails with their opinions and share our project with others. That is really helpful for us.

BeGo.
