Now that we see that devs are onboard with the Band, I figured that we could give voice to some ideas for developers to make a reality (and profit from). Post your ideas, non-dev users, and devs, if you're reading this, let us know what you think.
Off the bat, an app to store loyalty-card barcodes would be great. I'm sure people are saying "not enough space", but if the barcode jpg files were stored in the phone, and then the phone simply compiled a list of the right files, the app could have "click here for <userinput barcode name>" and then fetch that file temporarily. I believe that is how the band works with Cortana, I.E. sending the commands to the phone and then briefly displaying the response.
An app to add gesture control would be a potential hit, though I don't know if the SDK would allow this. The idea is pretty simple (though complex to execute, I grant)-map user created movements to a series of command choices.
Very general idea: games! Super-simple games, such as even an ascii-based tic-tac-toe might be simple enough for the band processor to handle
Stopwatch: self-explanatory
I'll post more when I can.
