Apple Watch apps start hitting the App Store<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple has begun allowing Apple Watch apps into the App Store ahead of April 10 pre-orders.</p> <p>While developers can't upload
Apple Watch-enabled apps on their own yet, some of the apps shown off in Apple's demos and on the company's web site have clearly been given the green light. That Apple Watch functionality is mentioned in the description indicates it's unabashed as well — what better way to keep interest high then to show the app wheels in motion? Additionally, if Apple is seeding Apple Watch review units in advance of April 10, having apps available will lead to better informed reviews. As teases go, it's a good one.</p> <p>So, which apps have been updated with Apple Watch functionality?</p> <!--break--> <ul><li><a href="
