HERE COMES THE SMART WATCHES

The battle smart watch has just begun with Samsung and  Sony launching their devices yesterday at IFA. Both are powered by Google Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) and have a 1.6 inch screen.

Sony's smart watch display has been kicked up a bit to a 1.6-incher with 220 x 176 resolution. Of course, that's still a tiny color touchscreen, so you're only going to fit around six icons on there at any one time. The device is also slimmer than its predecessor, which goes a long way for something you're going to wear on your wrist, though we wouldn't exactly call it thin at the moment.

Samsung Galaxy Gear has one glaring problem with it. It only works with one Samsung phone, the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note III. The Galaxy Gear won't work with other Galaxy phones like the Galaxy S4.
