SmartWatch from HTC? Supposedly, the Taiwanese company is working on a competitor to Galaxy Gear and Pebble Co. Even 2014 might come a Smart Watch from the house of HTC on the market.
Although HTC is currently in a deep crisis, the company has not yet put its head in the sand and is dedicated to the further development of new products.

industry service reported that HTC is working on a SmartWatch that come in the second half of 2014 to the market and will be based on Android. The information allegedly from confidential sources from the direct business environment by HTC. However, detailed information on the technical equipment or price could not find out who specializes in economic intelligence. Only an integrated camera can be confirmed, Bloomberg continued.
that speculation about a Smart Watch from the house of HTC are not completely out of thin air, is also an interview with CEO Peter Chou. Compared to the Financial Times called Chou wearables, so body-worn computer systems as a key growth market for the company. However, it was the CEO restricted again, too early to start thinking seriously about wearables and wanted to watch the market until further. Wearables must fulfill a specific purpose, such Chou. Otherwise, they would just end degenerated into a useless gimmick or concept.
Despite great hype Smart Watches have their promise as “Next Big Thing” not been able to redeem. To their limited functionality to the expensive equipment and short battery life. Whether calculated HTC against giants like Samsung or Sony will be able to enforce, is more than questionable. Not to mention that again and again Google and Apple are said to have ambitions in this segment.
