And do you know why Samsung, Motorola, and Google have smart watches? Because a while back they heard a rumor that Apple was making one...
It's THIS THREAD ALL OVER AGAIN. Apple can't innovate, Apple just builds "me-too" products, too expensive, gimmicky, etc etc-- except back then it was all Steve Jobs' fault...
I find it amazing the amount of posters saying Samsung have rushed out a smartwatch just because there are rumours of Apple releasing on.
Samsung released the first WatchPhone back in 1999 called the SPH-WP10
Samsung also released a WatchPhone in France during 2009, called the S9110
The sleek S9110 is a mere 11.98mm thick thanks to the companys advanced surface mounting technology, making it the slimmest watchphone device in the market. Featuring a 1.76 full touch screen customized for the wrist-watch form factor, the S9110 aims to attract mobile phone users who want a unique fashion item that keeps them connected on the go. The device also enables the users to check their e-mail seamlessly through Outlook.
In 1999, Samsung introduced the worlds first watch phone, the SPH-WP10, which became a landmark product in the mobile industry. The S9110 will be available in France this month for around 450 Euros.
Bet lets not let facts get in the way eh?!
