LG G Watch R

The Motorola Moto 360 was hotly anticipated as the first circular Android Weardevice, but its screen isn't actually a full circle. The display on the LG G Watch R however, is. The G Watch R finally sees the fusion between the new wave of smartwatches and the tried and tested design of traditional wristwatches - but does the combination work? Buy Lg - G Watch R Android Wear Smart Watch For Android Devices - Black at Best Buy for $299.99 It's still relatively early doors for the smartwatch revolution, and Android Wear is certainly still in its infancy. This has been clear as the early wave of devices we've seen have been a little half baked.

Samsung Gear

What makes a smartwatch these days? Is it something that simply sits on the wrist and buzzes when the phone does something in the pocket? A fully-fledged phone it itself? Or, like the Galaxy Gear, something in between? Buy GALAXY Gear SM-V700 - black - Smart watch at Amazon US for $188.00. We've got all kinds of devices pretending to be a smartwatch, and there's definitely an interest from consumers, if not a desire, for such a thing strapped to the wrist. There was clamour for the LG GD510, the real 'Dick Tracy' smartwatch that was essentially a feature phone on a wrist, allowing you to make calls and send texts.

Apple Watch

Most of us expected the Apple Watch to appear in 2015, but it made a (semi) surprise launch alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. And we've now seen it in more depth at Apple's special launch event, with all the variants on display and a little more info on the bits you might not have seen. The Apple Watch release date has been set for April 24, with pre-orders going live on April 10. This means the September launch was a deliberate ploy by Apple to make sure you weren't buying a Samsung, LG or Moto 360 option in the run up to Christmas. But there's a pretty good reason for most to hang on – this is a very stylish wearable indeed.

Graphene

Back in 2004, the first sheet of graphene was produced. Ever since, scientists have been trying to figure out a way to mass produce it. Why? Because it’s going to make everything better. It could give us much faster internet. It’s 100 times stronger than steel so naturally it’s going to be awesome for building anything. We could use it as a filter for water and scrub the oceans clean of toxic waste. 

Artificial Intelligence

You’ve seen the movies about it but could it actually exist in our lifetime? The answer is yes, it very well may. If you’ve seen the famous robot designed by IBM that schooled everyone in Jeopardy then you’ve already seen the kind of progress we’ve made in artificial intelligence. 

5G mobile data

Yes, I know we just now got 4G under control here in the United States and many places in the world are still stuck on 3G. Technology doesn’t stop just because we’re behind on our infrastructure. Currently 5G is in the research phase but the phrase has been increasingly tossed around. 

Wireless energy transfer

There are already examples of this out in the wild. The Qi Wireless charging dock allows people with some smartphones (generally newer ones) to charge their devices without the use of cables. This is a big deal because wireless energy transferring has a lot of applications. When electric cars are a bigger deal, you’ll be able to just park on top of a charging center and your car will charge.
