I'll bet any money certain developers that will have apps available day one have access to the hardware. I'm taking Twitter, Facebook etc. with a big NDA not to disclose anything Apple hasn't announced yet.
I'd actually bet that some developers who need access to the Apple Watch hardware are required to physically be at Apple headquarters. How about that new building Apple made? Did we find out what it was for? Possibly a development building where developers from various companies are making watch apps?
Known Issues with beta 4 from Release notes:
1) 3rd party calendar sync does not work in this beta.
2) After rotating the document picker to landscape, the status bar is hidden.
3) Upon bringing up the document picker in landscape, the containing view may be shifted beneath the navigation bar.
4) Mail handoff and AirDrop may stop working after changing your iCloud password at appleid.apple.com.
5) Music playback from iTunes in the Cloud does not work in this beta.
Issues with WatchKit:
1) Inserting, deleting, or updating rows of a WKInterfaceTable may cause the table to temporarily size incorrectly. Scrolling your interface controller should restore the table to the proper size.
2) SecRequestSharedWebCredential API calls will always give a -909 Autofill disabled error.
3) WKInterfaceSwitch does not reflect the color you set using setColor:.

It's pretty smooth on my iPhone. The download took a bit. But not much changed. Will update as I tinker with it
Thing is the public has already seen the hardware and there are Apple employees wearing the device in the wild.
Funny you say that as Google makes more and more apps independent to push updates through the playstore
And no phone with iOS 7.1.2 has notification center widgets and Continuity/Handoff, so that's useless to me. Though I hope iOS 9 takes steps towards fixing issues, iOS 8 has been great for me. Not everyone thinks that iOS 7 is some beacon of stability and fluidity.
I don't know of any low power Bluetooth devices that connect any other way than with their own app, and I'm sure it's the same on Android. The nature of BLE makes it that way.
That iTunes Match bug *sucks*. Songs play for a few seconds then stop and the list of songs goes corrupt.
HAHAHA don't even compare this to bloatware. Get a Verizon Galaxy S4 and you will truly see bloatware. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but it seems like my Galaxy S4 came with 3-4 pages of pre installed apps. With jelly bean I don't believe you could do anything to get rid of them, while with kitkat you could "disable" them. All it does is hide them. They still take up room on the phone and such. Apps like Amazon, Trip Adviser, Kindle, eBay, then there were a good 5 pointless Verizon apps, and the list goes on and on. It was terrible.
Yeah, iPad is a nightmare on iOS 8. Horrendous laggy mess on the one year old hardware in the iPad Air and iPad mini 2. Really sad. Also, there are huge and inefficient wastes of space involved. They need to add more features that really differentiate between iPhone and iPad.
Again, this. It's like they don't care about iPad, it's extremely frustrating. The UI lag over there is really really sad to see.
That would be just about impossible as BLE devices do not "pair" with smartphones, they are accessed through the apps only. So you'd have a chicken before the egg problem with that solution.
I can use my Mac's keyboard with my phone and there's no "Keyboard App."
So it's certainly possible tech-wise. It's just that they apparently have controls they don't want to hide away in the settings.
It's a graphic I found somewhere that looked exactly like my dog when she was a puppy.
The fact Apple isn't shipping more of their apps through the App Store baffles me.
