Samsung gear VR

Not convinced by this myself until I see it working but Oculus have a good team so it does have some promise:

I'm not a fan of samsung devices in general but they do have the capability to mass produce high res screens which is what oculus so desperately need so i guess this partnership works both ways.

Working with Oculus is a great move - it gives a lot of credibility. Samsung are guaranteed to shift millions of Note 4's (think i read over 10 million Note 3's sold). IF they release the gear VR at a low enough price to get market saturation it could have a very high adoption rate (far far more than a stand alone mobile VR unit). This then gives momentum to develop it further.

As a first gen product it is actually very impressive when you think that it combines Samsung screens/hardware + Oculus software and content. It wont be perfect, but for a first gen product to break into the market its looking good.

I was planning on getting a Note 4 already (I'm currently on note 2 and my upgrade is due). I reckon i will definitely get one of these to test it out.

Just looking for a little help with this, I updated a Note 4 to lollypop now some of the VR apps no longer work? Is anyone else having similar issues?
