Apple's upcoming smartwatch may not be the first place you’ll think of when it comes to playing games, but even with its diminutive 1.5-inch display it's clear that someone, somewhere, is going to want to play Angry Birds or whatever the hot game of the year happens to be. The problem is, obviously enough, fitting anything meaningful onto such a small screen is never going to be easy.
Apple may have gone ahead and announced Apple Watch back in September alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but it's still apparently quite a way off reaching the consumer market, with reports suggesting that shipping will commence at the end of March. At September's initial keynote, Apple did offer a fairly strong impression of the design and software aspects without going into too much detail, and so now, a new report has shed some light on what's in the offing.
A ‘supposed’ prototype of the Apple Watch has just been sold on eBay for a good $260. Well, as it turns out and as common sense prevails, it's a fake. Read on after the jump for more on this, and how the yet-to-be-released smartwatch from Cupertino is already inspiring fake copies.
We now know what the Apple Watch will look like, but have you ever wondered what the company in 1995 would come up with when tasked with designing a watch, smart or otherwise?
Apple hasn't even got the Apple Watch out of the door yet, but the Chinese knockoffs are already on the scene, and they aren't afraid to shout about it.
We don't know precisely when, but Apple Watch is certainly en route to market, and having been treated to an extensive preview alongside the iPhone 6's launch back in September, many prospective owners of Apple's first major wearable will be keen to test it out. If the innovative, circular interface has piqued your interest and you cannot wait to give it a try firsthand, then a new interactive demo will allow you to do so online.
CES has already delivered an abundance of weird and wonderful products, and whilst the inaugural tech event of 2015 will not see the launch of any Apple products directly, third-party accessory and peripheral makers look to be very much on their games. Although no specific date has been revealed for launch nor retail, Apple Watch is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly anticipated tech releases of the year, and one company has used this week's big trade show as the platform for its neat-looking Apple Watch stand.
A new smartwatch from Alcatel is making waves at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas, and many are drawing comparisons to the premium Moto 360 from Motorola. What makes this smartwatch this interesting? Head on after the jump for further details on this gadget.
The smartwatch industry has been brewing ever since Pebble's smartwatch took Kickstarter by storm, and alongside its vaguely-detailed Pixi 3 smartphone, Alcatel has revealed plans to deliver a new wearable to compete with the likes of the Moto 360. In fact, design-wise, Alcatel's inaugural smartwatch effort isn't too dissimilar to the traditional quirks of Motorola's Android Wear-ready device, and although Alcatel hasn't revealed too much thus far, it will follow the company's trend of hitting the market at a base-level price point.
This new smart ring from creator Kelvin Bates is by far the most practical and real project on the crowdfunding scape, unlike countless other ones of such nature. We take a closer look at the ring and what makes it real, right after the jump.
