Thanks Reg.
Fundy, that was essentially my point it is not only about Fitness and I repeated that at few places, it is about anything and everything: you preinstall few themes not just fitness related and then let the customer choose which package they want or maybe customers don't want it, have a look at the video you can get rid of the wallpaper. You require NQ live for aggregating the apps and having it available at one place.
To your points:
1. Google SDK= More fitness aware world= more apps and more ways to monetise= more OEM scratching their heads as to how to become relevant in this commoditised hardware world. Have a look at Samsung numbers,they require software to survive, hardware differentiation is incremental now and not ground breaking. Music radar is already going on Samsung smartwatch, I read NQ's good relation with Samsung there due to obvious reasons;
2. I already answered that;
3. Again, same thing: offer different wallpapers, essentially that is what Sprint was doing with sprint id but their execution was bad.
4. The fitness app has music integrated into it, it has armour collaboration, it has map your run etc....that covers lot of things and covers most of things people track. People are interested in knowing what is going around them related to fitiness, could be classes, could be yoga pass essentially you can integrate those things into the news feed. I do exercise fair bit and I will appreciate this app, unfortunately I use iphone. Lot of people around me follow various sports, and they have to unlock their phones to check scores, you can provide that on the wallpaper...
What I said is "Wallpapers can become mainstream with various packs like fitness, music etc...essentially what NQ is aiming for"
I haven't made any correlation between Google SDK and Samsung investment. All I have said is wallpapers going mainstream is a possibility and that could lead to a strategic investment or partnership with Samsung.
