Samsung has unveiled a smar****ch with a colour screen that can show alerts,
be used for voice calls and run apps.

The Galaxy Gear had been highly anticipated since the firm is currently the
world's best-selling smartphone maker and has beaten Microsoft, Apple and
Google to unveil such a device.

Samsung called it a "fashion icon".

However, analysts warned that blah blah blah etc etc etc

The Galaxy Gear

Gear, bicycle - bingo. Although Dawes might have something to say
about "Galaxy". :-) Actually it's a lot handier than having to grab
your phone when you're riding. I expect someone will produce a
handlebar mount.
I don't understand that on the one hand they're complaining that it
only runs a day on a charge, but on the other they're complaining that
it's a peripheral for another device rather than stand-alone - do they
not realise that making it smarter would also make it run flat sooner,
or have to be too big to go on a wrist?
New battery and screen technologies will make it better, but this
seems to me a good first attempt.
