I’m Watch gives you Android on your wrist, connects to your smartphone 0

This high-tech watch runs on a customized Android OS and connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing you to see notifications right on your wrist.

Why own a watch that just tells you the time when you can own one that does almost everything your smartphone would do, but can be worn right on your wrist? That’s the idea behind I’m Watch($400+), which takes the idea of the iPod Nano with the wristband a step further by incorporating an Android operating system and Bluetooth technology that can connect to your smartphone, either Apple, Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone 7.

For the hefty price tag (that starts at about $400 and goes up from there) you’ll be able to see previews of notifications like messages and emails from your smartphone that are sent to the watch via Bluetooth. The watch also runs apps so that you can play music, check the weather, and schedule appointments. 

The I’m Watch will reportedly run on a customized version of Android 1.6, which is the oldest version of the Google mobile OS. It seems like a strange move, but it will probably suffice for everything this device needs to do. The watch features a microphone for making calls, which you can actually do directly from the device. Things like messages, email, Facebook, and Twitter will show up as notifications on your I’m Watch screen but you’ll have to actually dig your phone out of your pocket or purse to make any further actions. 

The watch is aiming to appeal to a wide range of consumers, despite the high starting price tag. The watch comes in a playful color version (seen above), a titanium model, and several luxurious designs featuring diamonds and precious metals. You can pre-order the watch now, but the Italian Website says that it will be approximately 90 days before it gets to you. 

We are used to digging around in our pockets or purses for our smartphone every time it makes a ‘ding’ notification, so we can definitely see the appeal of being able to see what that email is about on your wrist before reaching for your phone. Being able to do the basics of checking the weather, playing a few tunes, or making a quick call from the watch also seems useful. Would you ever use a smart-watch that connected to your phone?

Extend A Help To Japan 1

It was Friday and I was at work when I heard about the news that had happened in Japan. It was the highest magnitude (I think) that hit Japan for over the years that they usually felt an earthquake. The most devastating was the event that followed the earthquake, the Tsunami. Of what I have heard in the news the tsunami was about ten meters high that really washed away the houses, cars, boats, and other belongings of the people lived there in Japan, especially those who lived near the coastal areas. The end result was horrifying.
Now, the people of Japan are now facing another possible catastrophe, a meltdown of one of their nuclear reactor in one of their power plant. It is really hard for them facing calamities like these. It is also hard for the rescuers to do their rescue and retrieve operations with the threat of the meltdown, the aftershocks and the weather.
With most of their resources getting stretched and almost depleting, they would really need our help. Let us all extend and Help Japan earthquake and tsunami victims by simply donating something to different agencies that is extending their help to the victims of the calamity in Japan. Your small help can console the victims of tsunami and quake.
For me as part of the blogging community I’m extending my little help by creating a post on which PostNjoy donates $2 for each posts registered at PostNjoy. By doing a simple act like this I can make most of the people aware where and what agencies they can give their donations.
Here are some of the agencies if you want to extend your help to Japan.
