http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/09/snapchat-micro-lead.jpgThere seems little doubt that much of the Galaxy Gear's (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/04/galaxy-gear-hands-on/) success or failure will hinge on the selection of apps that arrive on smartwatch. Samsung is making a strong push for third-party software (even in the face of limited device storage), courting a big cross section of developers at places like Path and eBay for its wearable. Popular messaging app Snapchat (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/04/snapchat-android-update-301/) will also be hitting the device in the form of Snapchat Micro. As you'd expect, the app harnesses the Gear's 1.9-megapixel camera to send self-destructing images. The company's founder told Techcrunch, "Our team is constantly looking at ways to reduce the time between our experience of a moment and our ability to share it." Walking around with a camera on your wrist is certainly one way to go about it.
