The Ifa Berlin is the largest fair of consumer electronics in Europe opened yesterday, runs until 10 September. There’s everything from washing machines connected to the Internet surveillance systems for the home, from televisions to curved fitness equipment. And as ever this year and we are smartwatch smartphone: a little ‘fashion, a little’ because the big names in the hi tech want to anticipate Apple will launch two new iPhone models next Tuesday and is likely to raise the veil on His clever clock. Many manufacturers fear that it could happen again with the iWatch what happened with the iPod and the iPhone, MP3 players and smartphones existed before, but today no one remembers even more as they were facts.

is the Original Samsung S Gear, with a two-inch curved screen: it has an operating system made by Koreans and can just call and connect to the Internet directly, using a sim card integrated. It is big and not exactly beautiful, but the idea could catch on. Also because so far the major limitation of the smartwatch is right in their usefulness: almost all, in fact, uses the same operating system (Android Wear of Google) and work as a second screen for the smartphone, showing notifications and messages at the wrist. So you can leave your phone in your bag and use the watch to control some functions, from playing music to the navigator.

But unlike Android, which can be freely customized by the manufacturers, the operating system Google smartwatch can not be changed: so this first generation of equipment was almost always the same functions and similar prices (between 199 and 249 euro). It’s the details that make the difference, as in the case of the Sony SmartWatch 3: the Japanese were among the first to believe in smart watches and this third generation is carried out in close collaboration with Google, so do not risk becoming old with the next Android version of Wear. Interesting design, reasonable size, a myriad of sensors to be connected to the fitness app Lifelog from Sony, but the most interesting innovation is the standard mini usb port for charging all others, in fact, adopt sideburns and dock that will inevitably are likely to be lost.

The choice is between square or round face more technological first, adopted in addition to Sony by Samsung even with the Gear Live, and from Asus, with the ZenWatch. The circular design of the G Watch R Lg, which comes just a few months away from a square pattern (G Watch just) but also brings radical changes in materials, such as leather strap. The design is that of a luxury sport, perhaps more suitable for a male and female audience. Tondo is the Motorola Moto 360, with clean lines and very modern.

smartband, bracelets intelligent, multiply and become more and more smart. Sony has the SmartBand talk, evolution of the model presented earlier this year, this time also includes an e-ink display, like that of the electronic book readers. It connects to the phone via bluetooth and transmits data on the consumption of calories and physical activity, but also receives notifications and sms almost like a smartwatch. The border fades with Vivosmart Garmin, which has a retractable display: notifications and messages appear only when needed. Because if the wearable technology has a future, certainly goes for design.

Printing with you wherever and whenever you want.
