Samsung has already announced that they are in the smartwatch race, but little details were given, but it seems as though Samsung applied for the trademark, “Samsung Gear.” The primary description was very vague, but the secondary one focused on watches, wristbands, and bracelets capable of communication with phones, PCs, and tablets.
With Apple, Sony, Qualcomm, and Samsung all announcing smartwatches and making everything “legal,” perhaps it will not be too long before these devices are released to the public…Pebble announced their relationship with Best Buy and the same day, they were sold out at only $149. That tells us there is a demand, or at least a huge curiosity for smartwatches, but also that the pricing must be reasonable.
My guess is the companies would love to see a holiday release – what a great Christmas gift they would make. Most analysts believe that the price threshold of $250 is about tops. Let us know if you would be in the market for a smartwatch or if you think it is an unnecessary gadget or fad.
