The Android watch is now available for preorder for $229. June 20, 2013 9:55 AM PDT The Androidly smartwatch is part phone, part camera, and part GPS. (Credit: Androidly) Those of you'd like to run Android apps on your wrist may be intrigued by a smartwatch from a company called Androidly. Developed by a four-person team in the U.K., the Androidly smartwatch lets you install and use hundreds of thousands of apps from Google Play. So, you can access a variety of mobile apps, including Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Google Maps, Cut the Rope, and Angry Birds. That all sounds intriguing, though running those apps may not be so easy on the eyes. Touted by Androidly as the smallest Android device in the world, the watch comes with a 2-inch touch screen and a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Androidly's smartwatch is designed to function independently, as it squeezes a phone, camera, and GPS into one tiny package. You can make and receive phone calls, snap pictures with the 2-megpixel camera, and navigate by land via Google, all from your wrist. Outfitted with Android 2.2, the smartwatch comes with 256 megabytes of memory and an SD card slot. Androidly throws in an 8GB SD card, though you can add a 16GB card for more storage. The watch also offers built-in Wi-Fi for surfing the Internet and Bluetooth for connecting to other devices. The Androidly smartwatch is currently up for preorder. Buyers can pick one up directly from the Androidly shopping site for $229. Androidly also sells a partner pack with two watches for $459 and a team pack with four watches for $916.
