The frequently reliable Ev_Leaks Twitter account just posted a pair of screenshots that give us a peek at the setup app for Samsung Galaxy Gear, which Samsung is set to announce on September 4th.

All Hail The Hyetis Crossbow, The 41-Megapixel Smart Watch From Outer Space
Posted in: Today's Chili
Greetings, Earthling. I come bearing glad tidings of the Hyetis Crossbow, a smartwatch with built-in mechanical movement and a 41-megapixel “life camera” designed to record your every motion and emotion. The watch comes to you from the Deepest Corners Of Outer Space where it was (most probably) hatched from the egg of a cyborg lifeform. It costs one thousand and two hundred of your so-called “Earth Dollars.” We have written “Swiss Made” on the back to fool your puny minds.
Designed by those who brought you AK Geneve, another space-themed watch line, the Crossbow has a very small, 12mm mechanical movement built-in alongside a number of smartwatch features including accelerometers, an altimeter, Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, and GPS – all of the primitive technologies you ape men still use on your horrid planet. It has two batteries built in so you can record your entire brutish life using the built-in camera.
It also has biometric sensors because, as we well know, you humans still pump liquids through your meatsacks. It will ship in December 2013 and the creator, one Arny Kapshitzer, promises that if anything changes in the feature line-up those who pre-order the watch will be notified. It is, to be clear, very expensive. This we cannot explain.
So please consider the purchase of the Crossbow. It is far more intelligent than you, to be sure, and, if you wear one, we Andromedans will not enslave you as our pack animals on the gas mines of Xarxis 7. Those who own a Crossbow will instead be used as our pets on our home planet of Zorb and be given leave to mate – under close supervision and with a great deal of genetic control – to maintain the propagation of your ridiculous species. At $1,200, this is a bargain.

Wearable gadgets are the future, or so it seems. A lot of companies are working on smartwatches. In one corner you have deep-pocketed companies such as Samsung, Apple and Microsoft, who are all rumored to be working on their smartwatch. In the other you have small companies that rely on crowdfunding for the money required to produce their creations. We’ve already covered a lot of such projects, Pebble, Agent and HOT Watch to name a few. There’s a new contender now that has already achieved half of its funding goal within 24 hours of being launched. Its the Omate TrueSmart, a 3G capable waterproof smartwatch that runs Android 4.2.2.
The TrueSmart has a 1.54 inch 240×240 pixel resolution LCD display, a 1.3GHz dualcore processor with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of on-board storage expandable up to 32GB via microSD, a 5 megapixel camera mounted on the side, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, Wi-FI and a 3G micro-SIM slot. Its IP67 waterproof, which makes it good for showers, swimming and jogging. The lowest one can pledge for a TrueSmart right now is $179, limited to 500 backers. Delivery is estimated to take place in November this year. The project has only been up on Kickstarter for merely one day, as of this writing it has received $58,241 in pledges and with 29 days to go, it may very well reach its goal of $100,000.
