Looks like Casio is preparing to enter the smart watch space with a new G-Shock model that will enable users to control their smartphones via Bluetooth 4.0. This, of course, is everything but a new concept with companies like Sony (with its SmartWatch) and Pebble already offering similar products.
According to The Korea Herald, the upcoming accessory will let its owners check incoming calls, emails and text messages. Furthermore, there will be a special button that triggers an alarm on your smartphone, allowing you to quickly locate it if it has been misplaced.
We don’t know whether Casio’s watch will work only with their smartphones and can only hope that won’t be the case. After all, they’re not really a big handset maker and would lose a lot by taking that route. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear something new on this. Stay tuned…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
