Is Microsoft Band 2 dead?

I thought it was a nice fitness device, not as flashy as Apple Watch. I was even preparing to buy one. The only place where I could by was at amazon.com. It is not available in Microsoft Stores.

I believe Microsoft has pulled it out of the stores. Even the developers SDK is not available anymore.

Cutting of the limbs like this can only mean one thing. Microsoft Band 2 is dead.

I have to look at other options. There seems to be too many with a staggering price range.

Well what about Samsung's band? I will look into it. It will not come cheap.

We will explore the other templates in future posts.  The Ionic Framework Starter template uses the Ionic Frame work and AngularJS and you can design apps for desktop, smartphones and tablets using Standard HTML5.
