This OS hack is made public by comex a community developer and jail breaker. He has posted a video showing a small watch displaying google home page. He has managed to get through google homepage and able to display it on watch screen which has got tiny display.
Apple watch does not have a safari browser app.
The video posted by comex has performed scrolling around and browsing basic web pages on watch’s display. Moreover this video depicted that one can run any arbitrary code on watch and it is very much possible.
The initial steps of running an arbitrary code starts with jailbreak of Apple Watch though Comex has not provided any details of the hack but it is assumed to be true for Apple watch case.
This video has shown similar UI as of IOS , features like copy/Define Context Menu makes it amusing when you look and see underlying software stack that powers the watch. this watch is OS 1,0 which is actually a version of IOS 8.2. this runs om customer front end layer to display the device specific user interface. It is called Carousel.
To prove his point Comex has also shown the watch with IOS dictionary view which is again compressed to fit 1.5 inch screen. Meanwhile Apple has announced a native SDK in the works and will give wings to the idea of developing apps that run such codes on the OS itself.
Hackers might have fiddled around with Apple watch, but it has given more possible opportunity areas to Apple.
Apple also told about the native third party apps coming and grabbing market share this year at WWDC, which takes place from June 8th to June 12th.
