Hasta La Gadget!

The smartwatch industry seems to be a growing one, and we have just discussed about the possibility of Nokia rolling out a smartphone of their own, in addition to Adidas, too, having a pseudo-smartwatch that they have called the miCoach Smart Run. Well, Google might be busy trying to manage all the news about Android 4.4 KitKat with its numerous speculated release dates, but it does seem that the Internet search giant could also have another surprise up their sleeves with whispers of a Google smartwatch in the pipeline, waiting to be unveiled to the world this coming October 31st.

Yes sir, it is tipped that this Google smartwatch, which will obviously be powered by the latest Android 4.4 KitKat mobile operating system, might just debut when Halloween rolls around. That also happens to be the alleged launch date of the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. No idea on what this smartwatch will be called, but if we were to follow past naming conventions by Google, it will most probably make it to be part of the Nexus family. Will LG play a role here? Perhaps, as the company has already showed off the LG G Flex render that sports a curved display – which is ideal for any timepiece for sure.

Sony has recently announced that their SmartWatch 2 has just rolled out in the US, where it will carry an official price tag of $199.95 a pop. This particular timepiece (and a smart one at that) will be made available at online direct from the Sony Store, although one ought to take note that other online retailers, too, will carry this particular smartphone as well. Among the key features of the Sony SmartWatch 2 would be a display that can be read under bright sunlight, in addition to the ability to pair it up with other Android-powered devices (smartphones or tablets, it does not really matter) as long as they are powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or newer.

Which is a good thing, of course, especially when you consider that the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which retails for a whopping $300 in comparison, will need Android 4.3 Jelly Bean at the very least. This particular smart timepiece from Sony will support one-touch NFC pairing to Android smartphones, so that users are able to check out text messages, calendar events, their Gmail account, Facebook updates, and Twitter, among others. The SmartWatch 2 will be water resistant as it sports an IP57 rating, in addition to multiple strap options that include stainless steel, brown leather, black leather, and five silicon colors. The power efficient processor underneath the hood is the one that allows the Sony SmartWatch 2 to run for up to 4 days (according to Sony) under normal usage conditions on a single charge, now how about that?
