You’d wonder how smart a smartwatch really is if you really can’t pair it with more devices than just one, and ever since Samsung launched the Galaxy Gear, one of our biggest complaints was that we simply couldn’t use it on most of the existing and popular Galaxy smartphones in the market.

This has left a tremendous amount of pressure on other smartphone vendors, and reports show that Samsung is already close to nailing a solution.
We’ve heard rumors in [...]
