Going by the vid..
so long as your wrist is exactly the same diameter as his, it should fit.
As for my scrawny arms, it'll end up at my elbow every time I raise my hand.
Rapper and business mogul Will.i.am has announced plans to release a new piece of wrist-based, wearable technology. Bearing the semi-eponymous name i.amPULS, it will allow the wearer to make calls without using a mobile phone. The diminutive colossus of pop appeared at a distinctly unglamorous Salesforce conference in San …
it refers to itself as, these will be a pointless piece of crapology endorsed by a an equally crap "star" that the gullible fools will be falling over themselves to obtain...
Until the next big thing in (C)rap(ping) technology appears..
Destined to be filed under "B".
It's also on O2 in the UK.
But clearly it's what we have all been crying out for -
first it's tablets with a data contract
now it's watches with a full blown phone contract.
Yup - just what I need 3 mobile contracts to pay for every month.
No thanks. WiFi Tablet, Android Wear will do me fine. Happy with just one mobile contract thanks all the same.
For all the people like to have a bash at Will, he has achieved some good things.
For one, when he managed to drag himself out of the ghetto, he dragged the rest of his family out with him. He also then went back to the ghetto and built a car factory there so that other people in the ghetto could get out. One of his cars looked like it had white-walled tyres - but they were alloys - that's pretty cool.
Being a fellow ADHD sufferer, I know that not everything one does is a success - but it is often a trait of ADHD that you keep trying and never give up - that makes for a pretty good role model when compared to a lot of other 'stars' as far as I'm concerned.
Some of the things he says are a bit cringe-worthy admittedly, but overall I reckon he's one of the good guys*.
*Having said that, I should also point out his gross mistake in saying ""I hope none of the kids I send** to school only want to do music. The world doesn't need another musician. They need another Bill Gates"
**He set up a non-profit organisation to pay for schooling for kids - so again, some good with the bad :)
Put myself on the line here..................
This looks like as good a go as anyone else. Lasts more than a day and a "phone"
Ok I will not be buying one any time soon, but if you had a gun to your head and asked to pick a "New tech watch" you might just go for this one.
Surface is actually a great bit of kit. (no up down votes on this comment please....its about the watch...cuff!)
Also to be fair, my only experience with a Surface was a client who bought one, brought it in and said "Can you please install my copy of Office 2010 on it please".
"Nope"
"Why?"
"Because it's Windows RT".
"How about my other software?"
"Nope"
"Why? It's Windows isn't it?"
...
Ps I understand there is a way of installing non-windows store software, but I've not tried it, nor am I brave enough to try it, let alone support it.
About time Flava Flav got into the wearable tech market. I can see it now...
The flavWatch redifines the concept of the watch, as it is suspended from the users neck. It also emphaises its form, by being much larger than competitors' devices. Rather than incorporating WiFi, 4G, or fitness monitoring, it is a single function device - it tells you the time, upside-down.
Yeah, boieee!

Actually, that could be practical. It doesn't have to fit in a pocket so the screen can be larger. The battery can also be larger, so better battery life. Since it is hanging around your neck, it's in convenient range for answering calls or checking messages.
big, gold, and worn around the neck
Why thank you. I shall market this idea forthwith. The gold bling-phone that you wear. But who wants stuff weighing down their wrist? Who can be bothered to hold their arm up to their mouth to talk into it? Who wants to look like David Hasslehoff in Knight Rider?

I like his shoes that weigh the person wearing them. Do you think it speaks your weight, or upadates an app?
At 08:00:00 you weigh 16 stone, you fat bastard.
At 08:00:02 you weigh 16 stone, you fat bastard
At 08:00:04 you weigh 16 stone, you fat bastard.
At 08:00:06 you weigh 15... Nah only kidding. You weigh 16 stone, you fat bastard. Why haven't you lost any weight yet?
at 08:00:08am you weigh 16 stone and 2oz. Have you just bought a Twix?
At 08:00:20am I am walking to work barefoot as I have thrown my shoes in the nearest bin
"I built something that fits on your wrist, and you don't need a phone to make it work,"
So you built a smart device that runs apps, connects to a mobile network and makes phone calls that goes on your wrist. What you've got there Mr AM is a phone, with a strap (sorry, cuff) on it.
So what you're telling us is, you've made a phone "and you don't need a [another] phone to make it work,"
Congratulations on this groundbreaking work, no longer will we all need to a second phone to make our first phone work.
