Not only do we have smartphones, but now for a limited time Qualcomm Toq is releasing a smartwatch! This limited edition device can be found on their website starting December 2nd, 2013 priced at 349 dollars!
This product will not be part of the companies full new-product category, however, Qualcomm Toq has not stated when they will stop producing it once they start. The company stated in a blog post that the smartwatch will be able to sync phone calls and even apps to your wrist! It is also said that the design will be a low-energy Miasol screen that will be use able and visible in the sunlight. The screen will be reflective as well.
This device will not have any buttons on it, but it will be touch screen and that will be able to activate features. Just like a phone, the watch will have notifications for texts, calls, alarms, etc. This device does not only differ in the fact that it is on your wrist but that it can got as long as 5 days with out needing to be recharged!
It is amazing to me that technology has come this far! I am interested to see if this smartwatch will be a big hit or not and if it is a big hit if the company will make it a full time product instead of a limited edition.
To see more about the smartwatch, check on the videos posted on mashable.

Wow, I think this is a really amazing invention. I know other companies have tried to put out something similar to a smartwatch and it will be interesting to see how it does on the market. I really like that it is all touchscreen, reflective, and best of all -- that it can go 5 days without charging! That is truly amazing and I think will be key in gaining customers.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some different advertisements and pictures of watches being linked to your phone. You can answer phone calls from your watch which is pretty cool. It reminds me of the movie Spy Kids when they had phones on their watches. These watches actually look a lot like the ones that I have seen before, but I didn't think that they actually were real. I would love to see how one of these works in real life.
