Still waiting for the smartwatch tipping point

January 25, 2016 by Neville Hobson 

If I left my smartwatch at home one day, I wouldn’t drive back to get it, says Walt Mossberg in his weekly column in Re/code. It's a statement that I'm sure would be reflected by many smartwatch owners, me included. Why? Because all the things that current smartwatches can do - messages from Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, for instance; or monitoring your heart rate and how many steps you've done today; perhaps streaming music from your phone; taking and making phone calls; and … [Read more...] about Still waiting for the smartwatch tipping point

Apple Watch: How desirable and disruptive will it be?

March 9, 2015 by Neville Hobson 

For the past six months, I've been wearing a smartwatch, the Samsung Gear 2 Neo you see pictured here. As I have a number of Samsung mobile devices, this smartwatch is ideal for me as it's geared, so to speak, to work with a wide range of Samsung smartphones including all the ones I have.

Putting a Samsung Gear 2 Neo to the test

October 19, 2014 by Neville Hobson 

I speak and write quite a bit these days about wearable technology, a topic I have a keen interest in. While the overall tech is a major part of my interest, it's also largely about how people use it, especially in one area that's getting a lot of attention - smartwatches. As I don't have one myself, I've been thinking about which one to get. It surely is hard to talk about a device with even a little credibility if you don't use one yourself. After spending time these past few weeks in … [Read more...] about Putting a Samsung Gear 2 Neo to the test
