Before, we’ve reported on smart-watches being kicked around in France and overseas, but it turns out Blackberry has been sitting on a goldmine. A wristy goldmine. Or so they hope.
We’ve got little or no information on the device despite what is slowly being leaked out. It will act as a companion to Blackberry friendly devices, therefore, not function as a standalone device. Although I have yet to see any device that sits on your hand and functions successfully as a gadget, this one sounds interesting. It will integrate with whatever sort of Blackberry device you can buy from your wireless provider, and will have a large screen where you can receive messages and read e-mail.
i just want to see a smartwatch actually succeed. Most of them have crashed and burned, because their specs are much worse and much bulkier than an actual simple, plain watch. Also, they generally look goofy. But I could imagine a myriad of scenarios where just looking down at your wrist to see if you have a text message would be very useful. Like whilst making love.
The kicker to all this is this is a conceptual rendering, so the actual device may be much cooler and smaller.
