A new report from VisionMobile finds that 21 percent of Internet of Things (IoT) developers have plans to develop for wearables in the near future. That’s a notable decrease from six month earlier, when 28 percent of those surveyed had wearables plans. That finding is particularly interesting given that IDC says that wearables shipments increased 223 percent between the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015.

It also found that Asia-Pacific developers are more interested in wearables than those in other regions are.
