The Wristwatch Is Reimagined

Last month at an H.P. event in Shanghai, Phil McKinney displayed the MetaWatch, a prototype developed by Fossil that he described as the first generation of “the connected watch.” This version has Bluetooth, but the long-term vision is to give it the wireless capability to be the hub of every Internet-ready portable device you own — phone, laptop, tablet. The MetaWatch would be “the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot on your wrist,” Mr. McKinney said in the presentation. http://nyti.ms/gRnqS3
