Last week it was their first netbook; before that, Android smartphones. Now Kogan have set their sights on our wrists, but be warned: you’ll have had to do some serious arm exercises before wearing the Kogan GPS Watch. Billed as “the most feature packed watch on the market”, it’s a combination Bluetooth, GPS, pedometer and altimeter timepiece, among other things.
Kogan are better known for their attempts to bring Android-based smartphones to the market, but the Australian company also harbors netbook plans. Rather than develop their own, however, they’ve rebadged an OEM design; Australian PC Authority took a brief look at the 10-inch, Intel Atom N270 netbook, which, like the cellphone, is called the Kogan Agora.
Barring a sudden speed-release by an unknown party, the second commercially available Android smartphone will be the Kogan Agora. A candybar-format BlackJack-a-like with a full QWERTY keyboard, the Agora will begin shipping in Australia on January 29th and have a 2.5-inch resistive touchscreen, GPS, WiFi and 3G.
