It's only February but 2014 is already shaping up to be the year of the smartwatch. Acer and Asus have announced that they're both about to launch their first wearable technology devices and on Wednesday, sources at Samsung confirmed that as well as a new flagship smartphone, it will be unveiling a new, improved version of its Galaxy Gear smartwatch on Feb 24.
Now HTC chairman Cher Wang has revealed, during an interview with Bloomberg, that it too has designs on consumers' wrists and that it has been researching and developing potential products for quite some time.
"Many years ago we started looking at smartwatches and wearables, but we believe that we really have to solve the battery problems and the LCD light problems," she said in the interview. "These are customer-centric problems."
