Bihar Boy develops Androidly, World’s Smallest Android Device

Patna:Â Apurva Sukant, a Patna Â boy has developed Androidly, the world’s smallest Android SmartWatch. It is a regular wrist watch that combines features of a Android smartphone on a tiny device.

Apurva Sukant , the CEO of Androidly Systems Private is the son of an IAS Officer posted in Patna Secretariat. Â He plans to make it available in the market by March 15 at an Initial Cost of Â Rs. 12000.

In a recently held Press Conference at Hotel Maurya Patna, Â Apurva said,” Androidly is the World’s Â smallest Â Android based Smart Device. OneÂ can make calls, browse the internet, check mails and click pictures. It will also be equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and navigation facility”.

“In smart watches, there are a couple of big corporations such as Sony with their Live View device, and Motorola with MotoACTV. The smaller players include Pebble, I’m Watch, Meta Watch, etc. All of these watches only have a certain limited number of features. Most common are displaying your social network feeds, some display Caller ID, and all display the time.”, said Apurva.

Androidly, on the other hand uses technology optimally and allows the smart watch to do all that a smartphone can do. “We essentially combined a phone, camera, GPS, and an array of sensors to a computer. Then we miniaturise such a computing device to the size of a conventional wristwatch. One needn’t pick any other device up, as the watch will always be strapped onto the wrist and available for use anytime, anywhere.” added Sukant.

The Team Androidly

The Team Androidly has four members Â and Â they all “share similar outlook on all things digital”, said Sukant. “Three of us are in the age group of 24 years but the youngest one is still not out of teens,” he said. The other three members areÂ Ankit Pradhan, Siddhant Vats and Pavneet Singh Puri.

“The idea was thought up over a dinner between the team. Pavneet’s (another member of our team) hand was dripping with curry, and retrieving the phone from his pocket, to check his email seemed impossible. We broke into a casual discussion later, about why, with the current state of technology reading an email or sending an SMS couldn’t just be a finger touch away at all times. Why does technology come in the shape of various gizmos which need to be picked up and put down? Why could we not have a personalized computer on us at all times without it being heavy or uncomfortable?” says Sukant
