Omate Truesmart - a smartwatch with a built-in five megapixel camera - is set to go into production after striking its crowd funding target. The machine raised more than $100,000 of pledges on fundraising site Kickstarter, guaranteeing it will get the cash. Omate's success comes ahead of the much-anticipated launch of a smart watch from Samsung.
Unlike many of the smart watches already on the market, Omate says the True smart can be fitted with a micro-Sim card to make use of its 3G chip. It has not announced when it will unveil the product, but its next scheduled event is at Berlin's If consumer tech show in just over a fortnight's time. This will allow it to make voice calls and send social media messages with no having to be paired with a smart phone or tablet - although that is also an option.
Sony has announced the launch dates for its PlayStation 4 console. The next-generation games mechanism will become obtainable in North America on 15 November and Europe on 29 November. Its opponent Microsoft has only said that the Xbox One will go on sale some time the same month. Experts suggested that the most recent revelation might help gain the Japanese firm headlines, but that it would be software that eventually decided which company came out on top.
Rob Crossley, associate editor at the Computer and Video Games news site supposed that Sony has made unbelievable progress as it prepares to release the PS4, but the console still lacks a show-stopping exclusive game. Sony's press conference once again established the company has an enviably deep and meaningful connection with the indie developer community, but Sony executives will no doubt be feeling uneasy as the list of main Xbox One exclusive games continues to grow.
LinkedIn is reducing its minimum age for connection from 18 to 13. Children's profiles will have default settings making less of their personal information publicly perceptible, with more important links to safety information. Support requests from teen members will also be dealt with individually. The conclusion comes the day after the social-networking site for professionals launched University Pages, allowing higher education institutions to set up profiles.
Dr Bernie Hogan, of the Oxford Internet Institute, supposed the growth, which takes effect on 12 September, would assist children "distinguish between the public profile they want for employment the personal profile they share on Face book with their friends and relations". However Dr Hogan also warned children could become a nuisance to Linkedin's 225 million existing members if they used the site to have fun or set up profiles with false names.
The company has supposed that twenty people were injured, with seven sent to hospital, when a promotional stunt in Seoul for LG's G2 Smartphone went wrong. LG has cancelled a series of events promoting the handset as a result of the event in Seoul on Friday. People arrived with BB guns and knives on sticks for a race to grab smart phone vouchers hanging from helium balloons.
LG has taken liability for the condition and said it would cover related medical costs. A statement from the firm supposed that LG Electronics deeply regrets that a number of Korean participants were injured during an outdoor promotional event in Seoul, Korea. LG takes full responsibility for the unfortunate condition and has offered to cover all related medical expenses.
Vodafone has exposed that it will launch its 4G service on 29 August to clients in London after investing £900m in the system. The firm supposed, it will roll out to 12 other cities including Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield by the end of the year. Prices for customers will start at £26 per month for a SIM only deal with a 12-month contract.
Last week O2 announced plans to open its own 4G service on the similar day. O2's lowest tax is also £26 per month. EE, the first network to present the faster mobile internet service, has a base tariff of £21 per month. Vodafone has partnered with the music service Spotify and TV channel Sky Sport for its launch, to offer further content to its 4G customers.
Every so often, the best businesses will get stuck in a runnel. Maybe it doesn't attract consumers the way it used to, or maybe its customers have deserted it entirely, leaving the business to the sound of crickets and the sight of tumbleweeds. A company has to be able to leave behind its well-established identity and its authority as a brand, named it's not always successful.
For those businesses that have managed to meet the demands of a altering marketplace, there can be a new and sometimes better degree of achievement. But it's a tricky balance to strike, and some businesses services that have transformed have been met with a joint shrug at best and a Category 5 consumer revolt at worst. Businesses come up with a exact format, or a specific result or process.
