    Love the live sports feed from the NCAA basketball March madness! The Jaunt video is also very cool showing Peru - be sure to get this. You can also run Google Cardboard apps you just have to disable the Gear VR service (with a 3rd party app). A nice add-on and as a free gift with upgrade it was a no-brainer.

    This is definitely a work in progress. But overall it's a great little gadget to play with. Unfortunately some apps require a controller but a controller doesn't come with the gear vr ... it's definitely cool to look at videos and photos in 360 but some are quite blurry and it hurts you're head after awhile.
