First of all, I apologise if this has already been discussed in the forum. I've just started reading all the posts find them very interesting.

I was thinking that it would be very interesting to have a way to access the internet from the watch, to receive and/or send small chunks of information (for instance, weather conditions, current value of a stock in exchanges, short news, etc.). Do you know if this will be possible in the future, perhaps by using a companion app on your smartphone to act as a proxie/gateway?

Yes - its one of the Kickstarter promises to have our own Android or iOS App that will run on your phone to enable connectivity to the internet. This will allow all sorts of real time Apps. You can already get a limited set of notifications onto the Bangle by setting up GadgetBridge on your phone. You then install the Android or iOS Apps on your Bangle. Have a look at the Weather App to get weather notifications. A fair amount of information in the App Loader README files. Click on the 'Read more' links to get full information.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
