Two smartwatch projects raising money at Indiegogo
I’m a big fan of smart wearable devices and I love smart watches. I had a chance to spend few minutes with the Pebble and my MetaWatch review unit arrived few days ago (so expect more on that).

SmartFitty Coming from a California-based team, SmartFitty is a sports watch that will sync with your phone, send you alerts, … Read more

SmartPants: Underpants that Protect Your iPhone’s Unit
You may not know it, but it seems that you’ve been inadvertently mooning everyone with your smartphone. Wait, whaddayamean? Well, according to the Japanese, your iPhone needs underpants! Japanese video game maker Bandai has come up with a solution that is totemo kawaii!! Bandai has released a (kinda) smartphone cover that does not cover the whole unit, but rather, the unit’s unit. SmartPants are little underpants that slip over your iPhone’s bottom to help “protect your home button.” SmartPants will sell for 200 yen, roughly $2.13, and will go on sale in March. A site was created to sell them, but it seems the underpants gnomes … Read more

It’s not just phones LG is unveiling at Mobile World Congress. They also found time to announce a neat accessory – WCP-300, which is touted to be the world’s smallest wireless charger. Despite that, its charging area is 1.7 times wider than that of LG’s previous generation wireless charger. Pretty impressive when you think about it. Similarly to other such products, the Qi-certified WCP-300 relies on electromagnetic induction technology to produce a magnetic field that in turn generates an electric current to charge the batteries in devices placed on the … Read more

EZIO unveils fancy Bluetooth watches, jewelry
A little known company (at least I haven’t heard about it before) EZIO unveiled few fancy Bluetooth-enabled products – EZIO Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Watch and EZIO Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Jewelry collection. However, unlike some other high-tech watches like Pebble, I’m Watch and MetaWatch – EZIO’s baby looks like a regular watch, rather than something only geeks would wear (and I’m a geek). In that sense, both their jewelry and watch products don’t have screens on them and will rather only inform you (vibrate and alert) about incoming calls and text … Read more
