Future Technology #2 - Wearable Tech

Wearable Tech has been all over the main technology news websites, mainly watches and curved glass for screens. But recently Samsung have released their first piece of 'wearable' technology the Samsung Galaxy Gear, a watch, but it's more than just a watch.

This "watch" has many exciting features that we're use to seeing on our smartphones and tablets, such as a camera and some basic apps but the screen size and battery life are what some users are questioning. But if you have a Samsung phone and a Samsung headset you might fancy looking into one as you can connect it to your phone and earpiece to make calls, play music, etc. But if you don't it's probably more of a gimmick. Plus you may look a bit silly if you have a small wrist and large watch, but if that doesn't bother you then, you're fine.

Without a doubt there is potential in 'smartwatches' and other wearable tech but at the moment they still don't have anything on our smartphones.

Retailing from prices between £200 - £450 it may be worth waiting for these to develop even further as no doubt the capabilities of these devices will increase in time to come, and prices may even fall with new developments.
