Samsung Galaxy Altius smartwatch to tackle Apple’s iWatch?
With the Apple iWatch – and possibly a Google Smartwatch – in the works, Samsung is reportedly stepping in with its own wrist-based computer – the Samsung Galaxy Altius. That high-falutin name is Latin for higher, and Sammy will certainly be hoping that its offering will soar above its rivals.
Leaked screenshots (below) show off the smart watch's AltiusOS – which could indicate a bespoke OS, rather than an Android-based offering. The use of tiles and a sideswiping action suggest an operating system optimised for the wrist, as you'd expect. And based on the 500x500 resolution and a 1.5in screen – which seems common – that’s a 471ppi dazzler of a display.
Assuming the Altius is for real, its release date is as yet unknown – as is whether it'll be a smartphone accessory for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4, or a standalone piece of kit. We’ll sniff out as many details as we can at MWC 2013 and keep you posted.

Most of these watches are doomed for failure. It doesn't matter how elegant the OS is, or how responsive the touchscreen is, or even how vibrant the display is. Each time you touch the screen you black out a huge portion of display. Can you imagine if you have an oversized hand. Guess what most men do. A possible solution would be the pointing device from Crucialtec. How else would they do it?

and before apple decide to sue samsung over this, try looking at S1110. as samsung developed the watch phone way back in 2009. so if anything apple is doing a bit copying this time round.
go Samsung it will be awesome.
