Sony's SmartWatch On Sale For $150 At Verizon Wireless
A few months ago, a Kickstarter project by the name of "Pebble" made some huge waves by raking in over a million dollars in funding sales. Suddenly, intelligent watches seem to be all the rage again, despite being a product category that largely died years back due to flaky support and bad battery life. Is it time for the segment to make a comeback? Sure seems it, as even Sony's getting back in the loop. The company's new SmartWatch is now available at Verizon Wireless, making it majorly accessible to millions of customers who already rely on VZW for cellular service.
The watch enables users to connect their Android smartphone using Bluetooth and turn the SmartWatch into an information center that sends updates directly from one’s smartphone to their wrist. With a tap and a swipe, they can receive email, text messages, weather, Facebook and Twitter updates. Customers can also download apps from the Google Play store to fully customize the experience.
