Rays blog is good as always.

But... It looks like somebody have access to firmware that allows for apps and widgets. How can we get access to this as well?

I can't speak for the others, but the Moxy App that was shown on Ray's blog was actually just a Data Field that consisted of a slide show of screen shots from the watch app simulator.

I had access via the Connect IQ team with watches with them at CES. In the case of Moxy, he both showed me a simulator version as well as a slide show on the watch. For all the other widgets they were versions on the Connect IQ team's watches. Finally, for the data fields and watch faces it was a blend of shots on my units and the Connect IQ's units.

I've got a post written up tomorrow (by the person helping me this past week) that actually shows how the Connect IQ 'photo shoot' worked. Kinda neat.

Check out the DC Rainmaker introduction to Connect IQ.

It is a very good and fair overview of Connect IQ. He also was able to see some of the Partner apps that have been under development.

Really interesting indeed specially the part related to:

Moxy APP, ANT+ Gym Equipment Support
ANT+ Weight Scale support: most wanted by the community (since all Tanita user where happy with the Edge series and FR up to 610/910;

Enablement of Connect IQ on the Edge series of devices: to implement features like Vo2Max (Edge 810/1000), recovery;

looking for more info about those points ;-)

I can't seem to get the watch faces to display...I'm sending it to my 920 but it doesn't appear????

It is likely you aren't using the 2.64 beta software on your 920XT.
