Leave a comment

What the hell is an Okie Done lol, well its simple back in march Sony claimed they were not interested In Android Wear at all. Oops I guess they dropped an Okie Doke on the entire tech community.

This wearable from Sony is actually quite compelling. This is Sony’s first smartwatch to run Android Wear.

This Smartwatch 3 has a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1.6-inch display, IP68 waterproofing, 4GB of storage, 512MB of memory, NFC, and a 420mAh battery. Sony claims the battery can last two full days with use, (We will see) and up to four days on standby. If what Sony says about the battery is true I could see this being THE Android Wear device on battery life alone.

Sony has been doing smart watches before it was cool to do smart watches. This model will be interesting to check out. Stay tuned.

Sony SmartBand makes its debut

Leave a comment

Sony just revealed its SmartBand Talk wearable, which keep up on your everyday physical activities, but also allows you to manage calls and control your smartphone with voice controls, with Sony’s own Voice Control tech. Some specs are 1.4” e-paper display, which has a resolution of 288×128 pixels, ARM Cortex-M4 processor, and 2MB of internal memory, 70mAh lithium-polymer battery, no that’s not a type the battery is that small, but its an e-paper display they don’t use a lot of power. NFC and Bluetooth handle connectivity, And of course this is a Sony product so water resistance with an IP68 certification.

What are your thoughts?
