    However, there is no official confirmation about these alleged specifications, so take it all with a pinch of salt and don’t keep your expectations too high.

    Makes me think that with pebble coming soon, and everyone talking about the apple i watch that Samsung don't want to be left behind so are putting out some pie in the sky stuff - even if its to get people talking about them in relation to a smart watch.

    Personally I think the whole wearable tech thing is a waste of time. I NEVER take my watch off, this means I never forget it I never have to change the battery in my watch as it is charged when I wank move my wrist but other watches are so efficient when it comes to battery life that they can go for years without having the battery changed. Smart watches will not and cannot be able to do this, you will have to take them off all the time to charge them. Not to mention the fact that if you start yelling voice commands to Siri / google voice into your wrist watch in public you are likely to be hauled off by the men in white coats. Having a little display on your wrist that is not fit for purpose for half the things it is suggested people use them for is NOT more convenient than putting your hand in your pocket and pulling out your phone.

    Don't get me started on the muggers beacon that is Google Glass.

    Wearable tech is being hyped to death by marketing idiots and will only be used briefly by idiots who care less about the functionality of the mobile computing tools they spend their money on than they do about engaging in the ongoing "my cock is bigger than yours" competition that currently revolves around gadgets.
