, Mar 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

This week the folks at Telepathy Inc have revealed the smallest - and arguable the most fashionable - alternative to Google Glass yet revealed. With the "Telepathy One", wearable technology has once again equipped prospective wearers with an eye-based glasses design, but this time it's only just around one side of the face, and lenses aren't even in the picture.

As the first edition so foretold, so too is there a second piece of this puzzle: Google's Project Glass appears to have been shown at South by Southwest this past week in at least one well-attended keynote. While we'd seen some relatively blurry looks at this particular showing late last week, this week we're seeing not one, but two relatively close-up versions of the presentation. While we've seen some still shots of the Glass device's basic UI before, here we get more in-depth with how Email, Skitch, and Evernote will work. Read The Full Story

The iCompanion wearable: there is no iWatch

If you’re thinking that today’s big announcement from “unnamed sources familiar with the matter” surrounding the so-called “iWatch” is simply an expansion of what we’ve seen in the past with the iPods of old, you’re sorely mistaken. Instead the only possible course of action Apple will be considering is one in which they open up another new category of device. If Apple cannot create what I’m about describe as the “iCompanion”, their supposed “100 product designers working on a wristwatch-like device” won’t deliver a market-ready device.

Pebble Smartwatch Review

, Feb 23rd 2013 Discuss [0]

Pebble stole Kickstarter’s heart, eclipsed companies hundreds of times its size at CES, and got many people reconsidering the role of the wristwatch in today’s smartphone-saturated world: not bad for a startup already burned once from a failed smartwatch project.

So, will Pebble’s vocal supporters get some smart bang for their Kickstarter buck? Read on for our full review.
