It must be tough for Samsung to have Google as a partner — and a competitor. Not just with Android smartphones, but according to GigaOM, Google bought last year a smart watch company named WIMM Labs.
WIMM is an interesting acquisition for Google because the company didn’t just develop a smartwatch device with a limited number of apps. It actually launched its very own developer program to let third-party developers build what it called “micro apps” — applications that were meant to provide more than just notifications for your smartphone, but actually work independently from the device in your pocket and provide additional functionality.
