First smartphones then tablets and now smart watches, Apple and Samsung have always been arch nemesis.Samsung has recently announced that it will launch its smart-watch Galaxy Gear in September at the same time Apple has started registering trademarks for the brand iWatch in various countries.Since then the speculations are high and various concept artists have released all the possible designs they could imagine,storming their brains.From flexible display to transparent dials,all the random bizarre ideas have surfaced within few hours of announcement.
But the main question that remains is,Will these watches be stand alone devices or have to be integrated with our smartphones and tablets?
Being a fully functional and highly concise version of a smartphone,these devices are expected to come with a dual mode of integration,where one could use these watches as standalone portable-smartphones-on-the-go or these could be used as a highly integrated accessory to our smartphones or tablets which rest in our pockets or handbags.
The possible features that are expected voice calls,messaging,driving mode gps.The possibilty of a high end camera can be ruled since the device will be mounted to our wrists which would make it obsolete,but still a basic front camera would be a nice addition.
But the recent surveys have given a negative report,only 19% of the smartphone users would go for a smart watch,still nothing can be said beforehand. As of now this device look a handy new addition to the smartphone era.which could give a new dimension to the modern communication trends.
