Silicon Valley based WIMM Labs have announced details of a smart watch based on their Android OS powered WIMM hardware platform. The platform, which could be incorporated into a number of wearable systems, contains much of the contents of a modern smartphone: a touchscreen, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity, accelerometers, a GPS module and a magnetometer. There’s also a speaker, a buzzer and an expansion slot just in case you need more bells and whistles.
Foxconn, the manufacturer of countless Apple products, has licensed the technology and is currently ramping up production of a WIMM powered watch. While the device isn’t strictly a health monitor, it has a lot of the core features needed to get developers started on a new generation of android powered mHealth watches.
