TAKEAWAY: You may add a smart watch to the list of platforms you consult daily to get news and information.
Dick Tracy was ahead of his time with his multi-tasking watch.
There was a time when we thought that a portable cell phone was primarily to talk—-not to take photos, check mails, make a video and/or read the newspaper.
Just the same, when we look at a wristwatch, we think that its sole purpose is to tell time.
Of course, cartoon characters such as Dick Tracy always knew differently, with watches that would perform a variety of other duties, all thrilling and exciting.
Of course, for some time now, we have also heard rumors about the iWatch.
Now, your watch may also be another platform on which may get your news and information, and not just what day of the week and what time it is.
Enter the Omate TrueSmart and Neptune Pine, both currently available to pre-order. Both are fully-functioning Android devices, ready for use with a micro SIM card and equipped with cameras, 3G, Bluetooth, touchscreens, accelerometers and other movement and location sensors, and a full set of computing specs normally seen in smartphones or larger computers.
Could be talking about the media quintet in the very near future?
