'i'm watch', which syncs with android and iOS smartphones


'i'm watch' by italian technology design studio blue sky, is a touchscreen wristwatch that syncs via bluetooth
to iPhone and android devices. updates from the phone are fed directly onto the 'i'm watch' screen,
permitting users to write and view facebook, twitter, e-mail, and SMS messages; view photos;
and make and receive phone calls via a built-in speakerphone. dedicated applications for the device
are planned to be available in the android and apple app stores.

the 240-pixel square face measures 1.5"-inches, and the phone is powered by 4GB of storage and 64MB of RAM.

'i'm watch' is produced in two lines, the 'i'm colour' series, featuring models in red, yellow, blue, green, pink, black, and white
and retailing for 249 euro; and the luxury 'i'm jewel' models, which include yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and diamonds,
titanium, black gold, and 'special', and range in price from 600 to 15,000 euro. all models are currently available for preorder,
set to ship in late october 2011.

"thought of before" and yet this looks _completely_ different.
implementation is at least 90% of art and design.
I like it.

I wonder about patent infringements and other intellectual property relating to interface and navigation. Such as recent lawsuit between Apple & HTC.
BS   08.09.11
It looks good, but really, it's just a curved iPod nano 6G on a strap. I'm pretty sure Apple wouldn't like this idea, what with it imitating a lot of their design work.
