DroolFactory WebTile for Microsoft Band

DroolFactory WebTile

I have been working on the Microsoft Band SDK team for the past year or so. As part of that we just delivered WebTiles which allow you to display web content on the Microsoft Band without any programming.

A WebTile is a specially formatted zip file with a manifest and icons that contain the resources required by the Microsoft Health app to sync web content to a WebTile on the Microsoft Band.

You can find out more and create a webtile here: http://developer.microsoftband.com/WebTile

As an example, here is a webtile that has the ATOM feed for this blog: http://1drv.ms/1K8x8Pc

The above link will work from a Windows Phone, iPhone, or Android Phone with Microsoft Health installed.
