The world giants, daily launching various electronic products on the market, are doing everything possible to attract potential buyers. They connect home laptops with tablets and phones that you use on the street, develop flexible gadgets and glasses that allow you to enjoy another reality in 3D, 4D and even 5D formats. However, even despite the concern of the concerns for improving the functionality of smartphones, various promotions and promotional gifts, the audience is a little tired of new products that are almost identical to the flagship ones. Fans of pampering themselves with exotic gadgets with hawkish eyes are looking for attractive and extraordinary IT products on the market.
A new boom in the gadget market
Especially to attract the attention of the public, some companies have taken test steps in the production of so-called smart watches. And, I must say, this was the best solution in the last few years. While Google and Apple are fighting tablets and laptops, Motorolla and Sony have quietly launched a wristwatch that connects to a consumer’s smartphone. Following these giants, other manufacturers joined in. Now the Italian company I'm SpA has become known in the world market thanks to its new product called I'm Watch. This is a cute miniature gadget, which is made in the form of a watch. What else is attractive for this European product? Let's see.
Brief description of the Italian news
I'm Watch is not just an accessory that fits snugly on the hand of its owner. They are an indispensable companion to any smart phone model. It is noteworthy that if similar products Motorolla and Sony worked in a duet exclusively with mobile devices on the Android platform, then the novelty of the Italian company is perfectly connected with all possible options. The I'm Watch smartwatch integrates perfectly not only with the well-known iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry OS phones, but also with rather rare devices based on Symbian and Bada. And, of course, with the notorious Android.
What functions does the device perform?
I'm Watch is a smartwatch (which means “smart watch” in English), which contains an engineering development that allows not only to find out about the time of day, but also to cope with other, more complex tasks, such as:
1. Answer calls received on the attached phone. At the same time, it makes no difference where the mobile device is.
2. Read received SMS messages.
3. View the received email.
4. Read publications on social networks (MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
5. Get the news on all kinds of sites and portals.
6. Communicate with subscribers recorded in the address book.
7. Find out the weather.
8. Thanks to the built-in I'market resource, there is a great opportunity to download all kinds of utilities to I'm Watch. So, in the public domain there are numerous games, books, applications for personalizing the device, etc. At the same time, the developers of the gadget are constantly working on improving and replenishing the resource.
9. Enjoy your favorite music. Using a miniature device, immersing yourself in the world of notes and rhythms is easy: just select the I'music application installed in I'm Watch. This program allows you to perform many actions: search for your favorite songs, download them and, of course, listen. The absence of any restrictions makes the Italian gadget an excellent replacement even for miniature players, and the number of tracks (more than six million) will delight even an inveterate music lover.
Appearance, size and interface
What are the characteristics of this miniature, but at the same time very smart gadget? First, the dimensions. I'm Watch’s height is 5.29 centimeters, width is 4.06 centimeters, and thickness is only 1 centimeter. Secondly, the maximum weight of the device does not exceed 70 grams. The materials from which the case and straps are made vary and depend on the collection, of which there are three freely available: Color, Tech and Jewel. In total, three metals are used: aluminum, gold and silver. In this case, the shades of the straps are different.
On the body of the gadget are a headphone jack and a recharger, a speaker and a microphone. The device interface can be switched to the operating mode with one of several built-in languages, which include Russian, Polish, Dutch, Chinese, English, Czech, Italian, French, Japanese, German, Spanish and Korean.
Internal content
The filling of the Italian gadget is a processor called Freescale IMX233. The screen size of the device diagonally is 1.54 inches or 3.91 centimeters. The display is created by TFT-technology and has a resolution of 200x200 pixels. The amount of internal memory is 4 GB, and random access memory (RAM) - from 64 MB to 128 MB. Of course, many are interested in the system that is installed in the gadget. For ease of management, a special version of the Android platform was developed, which was called i'm Droid 2. The battery installed in the I'm Watch device is rechargeable and its capacity is 450 mAh. You can recharge the battery using a USB cable by connecting the gadget and a computer, or using an adapter. If you do not use Bluetooth, then the smart device can work up to two days. If you activate this function, the time is reduced by half. There is also an active mode I'm Watch. User reviews indicate that in this state the gadget works for about five hours.
Important information
Most of the smartwatch features announced by the manufacturer require an Internet connection via Bluetooth. Therefore, before purchasing a device, you should make sure that your phone easily meets the specified criteria. It will not be superfluous to check the support of the described function with the mobile operator whose services the buyer uses: not every company has an Internet connection via Bluetooth. Also, not every version of the operating system built into a smartphone provides this mode. Do not forget that even though I'm Watch is a smart gadget, it will not work without connecting to a smartphone. The cost of the Italian device is different. The minimum price for a starter set of functions and standard design is about two hundred and fifty American dollars.
