Samsung to unveil a smart watch in order to compete with Apple





Hmmm! Are you pondering what am pondering?  I guess this can be best referred to as “Technology War”. It’s a race between two Technology Companies- Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics in bombarding the Globe with smart phones.
It was leaked that Apple Inc. has been working on a smart-watch that could posses certain features such as making calls and ability to view the caller’s identity, view map co-ordinates and also monitor health related data’s and are making efforts to storm the market with her device before the end of 2013.
Competition now coming in from Samsung Electronics as it was disclosed by the executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile in an interview held at Seoul “that preparations are been made by the company and they are working so hard in getting their long worked on smart watch.


The South Korean based Company who unleashed their latest smart phone- Galaxy S4 last week might add the smart-watch to their set plans for the year 2013 so as to crash Apple’s sales after overtaking them to lead the smart-phone market and thereby becoming the world’s largest smart-phone manufacturer.
 Samsung Electronics who is known for manufacturing her own displays and chips could surely hit the mobile market before the US-based company (Apple Inc). Though the price is yet unknown but I assure you the first to hit the market with the smart watch would surely set up a standard for the other.                 
  Guess what? I just can’t wait to grab the smart-watch as my next smart device.
