Android Wear To Get Wi-Fi Support, Gesture Control
Android Wear's next software update will turn on Wi-fi support, according to a report by The Verge. Majority of the Android Wear watches already have Wi-Fi built-in.
The report adds that along with the Wi-Fi update, there will be at least two additional, smaller updates in the next software release. One of the two features could be the gesture control: users will be able to flick their wrist to scroll through notifications and Google Now cards.
The user interface will also be slightly revamped, according to The Verge, which will make it easier to search for Android Wear application and contacts.
