If they don’t I’ll not spend a dime on their stuff again, and I’ve spent over a grand by now on more than a half a dozen watches including trackers…do the right thing Samsung..don’t burn me as you did with Ativ S.
When is Gear Sport going to get Tizen 4.0 (and I’m presuming thus S3 too) and will it enable .net development support…?
I’ve bought more than half a dozen Samsung smartwatches (including Fit 2 Pro trackers) and if the Sport model doesn’t upgrade to 4.0 as S3 got to 3.0 I’m definitely not going to buy another one ever again…
It is just a really rotten deal to leave your customers behind like that (especially the ones who were your best and most loyal which you had done once with Ativ S to me, but probably due to Microsoft, so I gave you a benefit of doubt then) and if so I won’t develop any more software for those platforms again then since my skills are now usable across iOS and Android which I’m using more now unfortunately.
