Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch lands on India Market!

Samsung today also launched its Galaxy Gear smartwatch in India along with the Galaxy Note 3. And while we know that smartwatches are the next must-have in most of the smartphone brand’s portfolio, Samsung is only after Sony to make a quick step ahead to launch its smartwatch this year.

In terms of its individuality, the Galaxy Gear works more as an accessory that will enhance your smartphone experience but does not hold much value as a separate unit.

So you can use the smartwatch to keep a track of notifications on smartphone, and even to receive as well as make calls once it is connected to your main gadget.

It is currently compatibility with the Galaxy Note 3 and Note Tab 10.1 (2014 edition) for now. But Samsung says it will be compatible with the Galaxy S4, Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note II, after the company brings an update to its other smartphones as well. This can also depend on the roll out of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update on Samsung’s devices.

Nina Davuluri, Miss New York, was crowned the new Miss America on Sunday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Miss New York, the second Miss America winner from her state in the past two years, gracefully proves that pageant contestants needn't worry about onstage flubs, as she missed her cue during the talent competition earlier in the evening.

Miss America contestants this year ranged from a tattooed Army sergeant to a woman born without part of her arm.
