Hasta La Gadget!

When it comes to the world of wearable tech, I am quite sure that most of us would be more familiar with the likes of Google Glass than anything else. After all, this is the pair of smart glasses that lets you record video while you are on the move, in addition to pulling up data right there and then by speaking to it without having to have to deal with a virtual keyboard or otherwise. Are there other kinds of wearable tech out there which would also be worth wearing? This is what the e-pill CADEX Platinum is all about, where this medical alert bracelet oozes with fashionable intent right from the first glance, making life-saving practicality having never looked so good before.

Stefan Solvell President and Manager of Boston based e-pill Medication Reminders, said, “The device has the ability to speak for the patient when they cannot speak for themselves in case of an emergency. This watch is a modern medical alert bracelet that combines practicality with style.”

This particularly easy-to-use medication reminder is a snap to make use of home, work, or while you are traveling, as it can be worn casually or if you so desire, to more formal events without making it look out of place as a regular timepiece. Just in the event that there happens to be an emergency, the e-pill CADEX Platinum watch will be able to stash critical health information which is able to help out medical personnel identify the patient, figure out the kind of medications they take, their allergies or conditions, and other relevant information.

This wearable will visibly communicate both conditions and critical information on the watch face. A Rolex or Tag Heuer might be a whole lot more precious in terms of monetary value at first, but when you compare that to one’s life? It is indispensable. Expect the e-pill CADEX Platinum watch to retail for $110 a pop right now during the promotional period before the price hits $150 later.

While the Samsung Gear 2 and the Gear Fit aren’t exactly cheap devices, it seems that if for whatever reason they get spoilt and you’re not covered by warranty, there’s a good chance that you’d be better off buying a new device rather than repairing the old one. This is according to a report from ZDNet Korea which revealed that broken Gear 2 or Gear Fit devices will have to be sent in for a full repair.

This is compared to a smartphone where you might be able to find components that are replaceable or it’s as easy as replacing the screen. Granted those repairs aren’t that cheap but they are generally cheaper than buying a new device. There is also apparently a fee that users will have to pay when they send the device in for repair which is around $240 for the Gear 2, and $170 for the Gear Fit.

Given that a brand new Gear 2 or Gear Fit isn’t that much more expensive, it has been suggested that maybe users will be better off getting new devices after all. The reason behind this seemingly cumbersome and expensive repair process is because the replacement components aren’t as readily available, not to mention when iFixit tore down the device, they found it pretty hard to repair as well.

One of the reasons is because the components have been soldered onto the main board and the fact that the the display has been glued to the body of the watch, so if you were to remove it, there is a high chance that you might damage the display in the process. However we don’t expect that either device will break just by looking at it, but it should be noted that if it were to be spoilt, you can look forward to a hefty repair bill.

In U.S. trademark filings product categories are divided into 45 classes. Apple seeks to extend its corporate trademark so that its name qualifies for cover under Class 14 as well. Definition for this class states: “This class includes mainly precious metals, goods in precious metals, and, in general, jewelry, clocks and watches.” This means that Apple wants its name protected in the jewelry and watch business. Whenever Apple and watch are mentioned in the same sentence these days it has something to do with its much rumored smartwatch, the iWatch.

This is actually the first time Apple has applied for this trademark extension in the U.S. It has already filed for similar extensions in the U.K., Norway, Mexico and Ecuador. Last year Apple applied for ownership of the iWatch product name, fueling speculation that it was indeed working on a smartwatch. Though so far this product hasn’t materialized.

Recent reports and analyst predictions suggest that Apple iWatch is destined for release later this year, presumably in fall. It is believed to have a flexible OLED display and many fitness related features. Apparently iOS 8′s focus on mobile health and fitness tracking will be aided by relevant data collected by the smartwatch.

Despite Apple’s own claim of entering new product categories this year, the company is yet to confirm that it is working on a wearable device, a smartwatch to be precise. For now rumors are all there is.

Unfortunately not everywhere we go comes with free WiFi. In fact research has shown that perhaps using public WiFi might not be the safest idea, especially if you’re trying to send confidential files or have data you’d rather not have intercepted. That being said, you can create your own hotspot using your phone but that drains battery, so what else can you do? How about the BB.Suit?

The Bb.Suit is essentially a jacket in which through a special 3D technique is used in the knitting process, it leaves space for WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS connectivity which would turn the wearer into a walking hotspot! In fact the BB.Suit doesn’t look geeky at all and could totally pass off as a regular hoodie.

The idea was cooked up by fashion designer Borre Akkersdijk and was shown off at South by Southwest where the not only could the BB.Suit be tracked via Google Maps, users could also upload songs onto it to create a playlist of sorts. It’s a pretty interesting idea and according to Akkersdijk, he plans on improving it by working with tech companies to create a smart clothing platform.

But what about smartwatches and head gear? Well according to him, he feels that such devices are too ungainly, which we have to admit is true to a certain extent. After all if you did not know any better, you’d probably think that the BB.Suit is just another regular hoodie, which is kind of the point, especially since we’ve seen such hostility towards Google Glass wearers.
