'Microsoft Band' wearable leaked by Apple and Google's app stores


It looks like the curtains have been raised early on Microsoft's attempt to join the wearables game. Windows Central points out that sync apps have appeared in the Mac and Android app stores (update: and Microsoft's), set to personalize and track data for your "Microsoft Band." Rumors had pointed to a fitness tracker more than a watch that could debut within weeks, and judging by the apps, that's just what we'll get. According to the Google Play, Windows Phone Store and iTunes listings, it seems to have more in common with Nike's FuelBand than the platforms we've seen from Apple and Google so far. That includes tracking steps, heartbeat, calories burned and sleep quality. 9to5Mac linked a privacy agreement that goes into even deeper detail about what else it can do, namely display notifications from your mobile device or take notes and set reminders with Cortana.
