Hasta La Gadget!

According to our previous report, LG is said to be working on a smartwatch for 2014 which could be known as the LG G Arch. According to the folks at Engadget who reached out to LG for confirmation on the rumors, it seems that while they will not comment on smartwatch rumors, the company did confirm that they had a wearable product in the works. We’re not sure if they’re being cryptic on purpose, or if this wearable product is actually not a smartwatch but something else entirely. Perhaps it could be the fitness band, the LG G Health, that has been rumored about?

In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but to hear that more companies are entering the smartwatch market space is no surprise. After all we have seen companies such as Samsung, Motorola and Sony attempt similar devices themselves, not to mention the incredibly popular Kickstarter campaign for the Pebble smartwatch which proved that one did not have to be from a big tech company to create a popular product. Speaking of big tech companies, the rumors have also suggested that companies such as Apple and Google could be looking to release smartwatches of their own as well, with Apple’s own offering being referred to as the iWatch for now.

We have heard the rumors that LG is planning on debuting a smartwatch of their own come 2014, and according to the recent rumors, it seems that we can look forward to the device being known as the LG G Arch. On top of that, the recent rumors have also corroborated earlier claims that LG could also be working on a fitness device of sorts which could be known as the LG G Health. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but some are speculating that the devices could debut either at CES 2014 or MWC 2014, but since we will be live at either event, we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information and will update you guys accordingly.

Smartwatches have definitely started to rise in popularity, with companies such as Motorola and Sony having released smartwatches of their own, and with Samsung hopping on board the bangwagon as well with their Samsung Galaxy Gear. In fact if the rumors are to be believed, we can look forward to more smartwatches come 2014 as tech giants such as Apple and Google have been rumored to be making an entrance into the smartwatch market with their own offerings as well. Either way it looks like 2014 could be an interesting year for technology and we are definitely looking forward to it!

LG happens to be one of the bigger vendors over on the CES showfloor in recent years, and you can be sure that their collection of the latest advancements in consumer electronics are guaranteed to wow – most of the time, at least. It will also be the same with next year’s edition of CES – which is happening in just a fortnight’s time, actually. One area that LG intends to showcase would be their most recent audio video lineup, where it will include the highly acclaimed, space-saving SoundPlate (Model LAB540W), the innovative Wireless Audio System (Model NP8740) and the sleek, aesthetically striking Sound Bar (Model NB5540).

First of all, the LG SoundPlate, also known as the LAB540W, will be the most recent arrival when it comes to the category of slim audio devices that will keep company your flat screen TV in your living room. It measures a mere 3.95cm above is base, where it is extremely space efficient, allowing you to place it right under a range of flat screen TVs, from 32” to 55”, helping you minimize clutter at the same time keeping your home looking neat and tidy all the time. Apart from that, there is also a robust 4.1 channel, 320 watt sound system as well as an external wireless subwoofer to keep your ears pounding.

As for the LG Wireless Audio System, this particular innovation allows users to select from virtually limitless home audio configurations. Just how is this made possible? Pixie dust? Not really, but it will fall back on the most recent mesh network technology instead that boasts of dual band Wi-Fi support (2.4/5GHz), allowing it to deliver high quality streaming music throughout the home. Apart from producing rich sound with clarity and depth, it will also be able to send the sound out in multiple directions.

As for the Sound Bar, it will be the perfect match for modern thin-bezel TVs, courtesy of its minimalist design as well as polished dark silver finish. This particular model would arrive with 4.1 channels and 320 watts of powerful output. Do not be fooled by its low profile body, as the NB5540 packs a punch, delivering rich, room-filling audio courtesy of a couple of forward-facing and two rear-facing channel configuration.

Both Samsung and LG have unveiled devices with flexible displays in the form of the Galaxy Round and the G Flex, and while both devices have flexible displays in the sense that they are able to bend and hold its shape, they aren’t truly flexible in the sense of the word, and based on what we can see, we might expect such displays to become available only in a few years’ time. However a professor at one of South Korea’s top universities, Kim Yun-hi, believes that truly flexible displays could become available in the mainstream market in 2014, and that in a few years’ time, displays that can be rolled out and put into our pockets will become mainstream as well.

So why does Kim believe that this will happen? Well as it stands, Kim’s group of researchers are currently responsible for developing a flexible organic polymer that will allow for bending and flexing in displays, as opposed to current technology which allows screens to be curved. It is also her research that companies are reportedly interested in, which we guess could explain her confidence that such displays could indeed hit the market as early as 2014. However devices like the Galaxy Round and G Flex feel more gimmicky than functional, but who knows what the future has in store for us?
