“Rapper and frontman for The Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am, is expected to launch his smartwatch on Thursday in San Francisco in direct competition with the new Apple Watch.
The device will have a Bluetooth capability for wireless internet connection and, unlike the Apple Watch, launched last month, it does not need to be linked to a mobile phone for full functionality.
The judge on the BBC’s talent show, The Voice, and tech entrepreneur said it will feature apps such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, leading to expectations it will run on Android software. It also boasts a music service believed to be delievered by UK firm 7digital.”

Competition is always a good thing. Let’s hope the watch looks good as well as performing effectively.
