Microsoft could be stepping up to the smartwatch ring with a new contender said to have a 1.5" screen with removable band that will come in a variety of colors. An interesting note is the watch said to be made of oxynitride aluminium, a sort of transparent polycrystalline ceramic with cubic spinel crystal structure composed of aluminium, oxygen and nitrogen.
The rumor is also that the watch will be running a modified version of the Windows 8 operating system and have a heavy reliance on cloud storage by way of LTE support.
I am anxiously watching Microsoft's blog for an announcement on this because it sounds like a real genuine piece of the future, only today! And they might beat Apple, and Google to the punch if they launch soon.
