I believe the Strata actually suffers from the same problem as the original Metawatch development kits—the Bluetooth stack is completely proprietary (not open source) and very expensive to develop on. This drove developers away from the original platform when it turned out they had to pay several thousand dollars/pounds to be able to test their code.

I assume they've solved the problem with this new watch: it looks like they're trying to do it by running the apps on the phone instead, but it's not really specified.
