FlickKey launched - 1st independent keyboard for Wear - no side loading required! - Wear OS General

Just letting everyone know that FlickKey Keyboard for Wear was recently launched. It is the first independent keyboard for Android Wear. It is also the only fast and accurate keyboard for smartwatches - it does not need to rely heavily on disambiguation and autocorrection to work well.
FlickKey also does not need to be side-loaded. Just download it to try it. To send a message though, you need a supporting app. FlickKey for Wear is currently supported by three of the top messaging apps: Wear Messenger, Coffee - SMS for Wear, and K-9 for Wear. It is also free and simple to add FlickKey to any Wear app with just a few simple lines of code. (Email the support address for the code)
If you have not seen it, FlickKey solves the problem of typing on smartwatches through 6 "flick-able" keys. Just press and flick in the direction of an outside character. It works great on all touch screens - no special keyboard required for round watches. FlickKey also gives users multiple lines of editable text for a great messaging experience. Further, if you use voice input through FlickKey, you can edit, append, or add punctuation to the results - which is real nice.
Just search Google Play for "FlickKey Keyboard for Wear" if you would like to check it out, or add it to your app.

5. Dropbox
Native dropbox app. Self-Explanitory
Android app- Sugarsync
Just use it until Dropbox gets on their own app.
6. Cardstar
Uses your reward cards and brings them all together. Nifty.
Android app- Keyring
Autofocusing android cameras make ours much simpler. Easy to use and stable.
7. Skype
Self-explanitory

8. Dragon Dictation
dicates text-to-speech
Android app- *crickets* We have the function of text-to-speech, but dictation? Google search yields nothing. Handscent uses speech recognition though.
9. Epicurious

Android app- We've got recipe apps. I'll probably never use em, but we got em!
10. gCalwalllite
Displays calendar and time info on the wallpaper
Android app- Widgets.
The final two are Push notifications and tethering. We do that easily enough, push better and tethering worse simply because we have to root to do it.
If you guys think of anything I missed let me know.
Quick, concise, useful. Good info Wii60.
Actually there is a Skype beta app in the app-store now.
The PDA Net app allows USB and wireless tethering with out rooting your phone.
I would also put MyTracks + Twidroid integration up against any of their running/walking/hiking apps.
there used to be a text to speech notepad, i doubt its gone....
This is for #4....
Droid Text N' Walk
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-gmail-tianjianyong-walkandtext-xAmw.aspx
#8:
The Nexus fw supports speech-to-text.
have a look at the engadget review, there's a video of it.
Handcent already incorporates google speech recognition software for Speech-to-Text SMS so you can respond to a text while driving. What else would dictation be good for? From what I read, Dragon is a speech to text notepad that you then have to cut and paste into the app you're using. Pain in the ass compared to Handcent!

[App request] An app for couples

Ok i have used 'Pair' and like the premise but think an app could be created that is MUCH better. I do not have the skills, just the ideas..
The app, which i have tenatively named "Just Us" would be designed for couples to keep in touch, share informationo and manage their time. It would include the following.
Built in private messaging
Basic text funtions
emoji
sharing pictures (from gallery or capture)
voice notes
Productivity
Calendar (posibly tied into the system calendar)
alarms/reminders
ToDo list(s)
check-ins ('Made it home', 'Goint to lunch', 'working late', gps map location, etc...)
Games
Tic-tac-toe
revirsi
cards
other simple fun stuff (checkers etc) could be add in that connect to other apps (downloadable/partners/etc)
Security
Pin/pattern to open app
maybe encryption for downloads folder
posibly propriatary image format even if just ziped with alternate extention (you know why)
Now the Pair app has a Thunbkiss feature so that if both users are in the app at the same time they can "touch" thumbs through the scree and the phone vibrates. This is very cute but there is no alert to let the other user know their mate is waiting for a kiss.
I believe that the app has a market if done right and i would love to be involved with the development and testing. I want to learn but i need someone who knows what they are doing.
Thoughts??

Just a bit confused, I just wonder what Wear App supports text input?
I think there is another keyboard and I did not bother with it.
Me too!
Wear internet browser, ES file explorer or other ADB-sideloaded app can be used with a keyboard
XDA friends, we have replied your requests. Please check you email.
Happy Typing
XDA friends, please forgive our delay. Our developers are working hard to build an universal APK which hopefully can distribute one file to most of you to test. Please check the video below for TouchOne running on Sony SmartWatch 3 and LG G Watch R

Didn't we include your email, may be in junk folder? How didn't you submit the request, by email or website?
Submit the quest from website is easier for us to catch up.
If you still have not received the email, please put your email here, i email to you straight away
Just submitted from your website. Looking forward to test it on my Sony Smart Watch 3.
Have tried it.
Didn't like the fact that the drawer for minilauncher blocked the buttons so deleted. Also I must admit I found the t9 input of messenger was just as good.
Still able to get the App for now?

[App][FREE] T9 Launcher

Motivation:
Generally people has lot's of app installed. It's painful to find a single app. I saw lot's of people just go back and forth and asking 'where it is?'. Average user use very few apps from all installed programs, so why should user looks his/her app in all unused apps again and again !
In modern life, our phone has lot's of contact. And a single contact has different kind of numbers (whatsapp, facebook, viber etc). Lot's of data, so searching is a good way. Traditional keyboard has lot's of keys in scattered way. New or elder users find it difficult to look for a key in lots of keys.
Solution:
User uses fewer apps, so we will show a few.
And 9 keys in a keyboard to search.
T9 Launcher Google Play store
Features1. Reveal search view from any where
2. Quick indexing feature
3. App search
4. Contact search
5. Haptic feedback
6. Launcher position
7. Soft navigation bar background color
