A:Answerthere is a HUGE difference,
1) Gear live uses google brand new android wear Operating system. While gear 1 or 2 uses samsungs Tizen OS.
2) Gear live would be supported for much longer since google pushes out updates to its software while samsung would likely not push out alot to the gear live.
3) The gear live (and any other android wear devices) are based around google's voice command system) EX: you can ask the watch almost any question and it would respond almost instantly.
If you are looking to get the gear live be understanding that the gear live and the lg g watch are only the first android wear smartwatches that came out. Some amazing things are in the works such as the Moto 360! round smartwatch and many more to come.
ps. I just ordered the gear live. { ;
anymore questions feel free to ask me
A:AnswerOriginally the Web said 27. Then they were to be in Stock in stores on the 24th. Then pre orders were said to be the 28th. I pre ordered mine on the 12th and spoke with bestbuy today because my order status changed and was told that they are now on back order. Hopefully it's because Samsung is changing their stock due to a bad design on the charger causing them to break easily and rendering the watch Un - chargeable. This was discovered on a majority of the units handed out at Google IO.
A:AnswerBackorder still but you can get on the waiting list. Amazon folks have it but at 3x the costhttps://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Samsung_Gear_Live_Charging_Dock?id=samsung_gear_live_charger&hl=en
