If you are looking for an accessory that not only looks great but also works really well with smartphones, may I take this time to talk about the new I’m Watch by Blue Sky.
These Android-based watches by the Blue Sky group look fantastic and are compatible with the iPhone 4, ALL Android devices, Windows Phone 7 (WP7) and BlackBerry devices, the watches do run a customized version of Android (Android 1.6). Personally they could have had a better operating system but hey ho it is a start.
The lowest price of the I’m Watch is 249 euro and for this price you can choose an array of colours such as the i’m White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Pink, or Black, these are the affordable models. You can opt for the more expensive I’m watches and these are the Titanium for 599€, Yellow Gold 11.999€, Pink Gold 11.999€, White Gold & Diamonds for a whopping 14.999€, the Black Gold is priced at 11.999€, and would hate to think what the price of the i’m Special version is (only with luxury materials) and you can get price upon request.
The user places this watch on their wrist and can access the application suite via their smartphone, basically a miniature version of your smartphone on your wrist; it uses the same sort of touch-based controls like your smartphone. The screen size is 1.54-inch but allows you to access photos, email, music and much more, comes with a headphone jack and volume controls on the side.
The watch works with the smartphone via Bluetooth connection, you can even access screen calls on the watch, you can receive text message notifications, the watch does not have a keyboard so no typing can be done.
