Digest...
On June 10, Salesforce.com announced Salesforce Wear, a bundle of free tools and reference applications aimed at evangelizing the power of enterprise wearables. The offering supports six different wearable devices, each with its own open-source reference application to help developers design and build wearable apps that connect to the Salesforce1 platform.
-- > Salesforce Wear has the potential to turbo-charge the growing market for enterprise wearables.
-- > Some of the reference applications are pure enterprise/B2B workforce enablement applications which can be generalized to other field service scenarios
-- > Others reference apps offer solutioning for B2B2C scenarios – which Forrester has been covering extensively in our wearables research.
-- > Salesforce Wear will offer enterprises a quicker path to creating different types of user scenarios.
-- > In addition to I&O pros, other tech vendors should take note, too.
-- > Salesforce’s move into this space both validates the enterprise wearables market and will spur it forward even more quickly.

I don't know. Sometimes companies get out in front to find that there's nothing behind them. Jury's out.
This may feel a bit too much like Big Brother for some, but with the right kind of incentives, this may hold some promise. I can also envision large conferences where identifications can be moved from badges to wearable devices. Interesting that Salesforce is capturing this market first.
