The Android Wear smartwatch apps are here.
A
new update to Google Play services brings the first batch of apps that
work with Android Wear capable smartwatches, such as the LG G and the
Moto 360. Google Play 5.0 (up from 4.5) was first announced at the
company's Google I/O Developer Conference in San Francisco last week,
but the update is now available to everyone.
Users
will first have to download the official Android Wear app to link
smartphones with smartwatches and then update to Google Play Services
5.0 that works with Wear. You'll then be able to see apps with Wear
support the platform, such as PayPal, Soundwave, Pinterest, Lyft,
AlltheCooks and food delivery app Eat24.

The
arrival comes just a week after the company announced that its software
developer kit (SDK) was open and available to developers.
While the Android Wear smartwatches haven't shipped yet, Android users can get a head start by checking out the apps now.
The
company has also added new APIs for Google Wallet, Google Drive and
Google Cast. For a full rundown of what's new for developers.
