 The Shape Challenge is an open contest to inspire and celebrate innovation and technology for technology’s sake.  

With the submission period now closed, we had nearly 1,000 people register for the Shape Challenge from across 33 different states. We are currently in the process of judging submissions and determining the semifinalists who will pitch their innovations and compete to win $50,000 at AT&T Park in July. We’ll be profiling these semifinalists in blogs in the next few weeks.

Not all wearables are created equal, but AT&T can help developers solve the riddle for how to send SMS and MMS messages from any connected, wearable device – whether it be tethered via Bluetooth or enabled with its own data connection – with the use of the AT&T In-App Messaging API. Read on to learn how.

Top executives deliver major announcements in a keynote, and there are sessions immediately following that go into more detail about the news at the 2016 Developer Summit. I usually use my session to provide details, guidance, and trends. Find out more about the tools and tips you’ll get in Developing for Wearables, IoT, and Beyond!

When we think about wearables it’s easy to get swept away by the consumer-oriented solutions. It’s easy to forget about another huge opportunity in the wearable market: the enterprise.

Google I/O is being held this week. To kick off the conference, Google held their keynote address and here are some initial impressions for devs…

The 2015 AT&T Developer Summit is just around the corner. To help set you up for success and get the most out of the hackathon and the conference, we’ve put together this survival guide full of tips and useful information about the Summit.

If you’re building or working with wearable technology, these are exciting times. The devices we see today are already a vast improvement over the devices that entered the market just 18 months ago. Learn more about the opportunity for developers during the Executive Panel: Wearables – Connecting Fitness & Health for Consumers at the 2015 AT&T Developer Summit. 

Have you wondered what sort of data your wearable is sending to and from the Internet? I’ll walk through a few ways to run traces of the data being sent so that you can analyze your wearable/applications for performance improvements.

Designed to explore wearable technology in new and innovative ways, we brought together an impressive array of wearable products and kits, and evangelists to help developers get the most out of the NestGSV & AT&T Wearable Hackathon. We saw apps that incorporated beer, shoes, predicting the next time you’ll get sick, and more. Can’t wait to find out more about the apps created at our Redwood City Wearables Hack?

It is an obvious statement that technology moves at a rapid pace. You can look no further than how differently people now interact with their mobile devices as opposed to the recent past. Touch has become the primary method that people use to control their devices; but you can already see that evolving, particularly as wearables grow in usage.
