Is a smartwatch on your holiday wish list?
i'mWATCH
It's not an iWatch (Apple isn't really THAT innovative). It's an i'mWATCH - one of the more stylish forms of the newest generation of the smartwatch. Unfortunately, the €299 to over €10K, Android-based smartwatch won't be available until early 2012. Like a kid on Christmas, if you can't wait, the developer's MetaWatch - with investment from Fossil - can be yours for just over $200. Similar to the i'mWATCH, the $100 to $200 inPulse smartwatch is available "soon."
MetaWatch
There are several approaches to today's smartwatches, including:
enhanced bluetooth device (aka "smartphone companions") that are really controlled by an app on your smartphone
standalone device with WiFi connectivity
The current platforms have tools to encourage developers to build apps and, of course, their own app stores.
