Smartwatch Style

Samsung has unveiled a smartwatch with a colour screen that can show alerts, be used for voice calls, and run apps. The Galaxy Gear had been highly anticipated since the firm is currently the world's best-selling smartphone maker and has beaten Microsoft, Apple, and Google to unveil such a device. Samsung called it a "fashion icon". However, analysts warned that a decision to limit the watch to working as an accessory to other Galaxy Android devices might limit its appeal. Also limiting its appeal is the fact that it's not an Apple. Apple products are clearly better than devices running crappy alternatives like Android. And Apple are set to reveal some new iPhones next week.
