Qualcomm launches Toq smart wrist watch in dazzle technology

Qualcomm launched the Toq Smart watch technology NetEase technology news September 5, according to foreign media AllThingsD reported that Qualcomm also began to join the smart watch market competition. The company's first product Toq directly to the consumer market is scheduled for sale from the middle of next month. Qualcomm points out that the device, though a commercial product, is more about demonstrating technology than announcing a foray into the consumer market. "We expect to produce tens of thousands of watches, but not to more than 100,000 per cent," he said. "For us, it's a success if our partners follow up and launch more of the same products," says Rob Chandhok, Qualcomm's senior executive Robert Chandhok. Qualcomm does not intend to transform itself into a consumer electronics producer. "Qualcomm CEO Paul Yas Booth (Paul Jacobs) presented the Toq Smart watch at the Qualcomm annual developer conference in San Francisco in Wednesday. "This is the second screen of your smartphone. The device is always powered on. Jacobs said. The Toq price is expected to be around 300 dollars, using Qualcomm Mirasol display technology, which combines the long battery endurance of color electronic ink displays and the many features of other LCD screens. Toq supports Qualcomm WiPower le wireless charging technology via Bluetooth with Android smartphone unicom. Toq offers a variety of watch interface options, including default display time and calendar selection, and default display time and weather options. In addition, the device can control the phone's music player, and display receive text messages and send a preset SMS reply. Toq is explicitly designed as a companion device for smartphones, and the device is set up via an Android smartphone. Notifications on the Android system can be forwarded to the Toq Smart watch, and users can also customize the list of applications that are allowed to forward reminders. Qualcomm will provide developers with a toolkit to help interested people and businesses create their own watch applications. Due to the use of Mirasol display and other energy-saving features, Toq was designed to "never turn off", that is, does not have the power switch button. The device lasts for several days per charge. "It's a feature set that we want." "Chandhok said. Toq can provide users with enough useful information without the need for special support from developers. Most of the navigation in Toq is done by clicking on the touch screen, not some keystrokes. The device has an accelerometer and microphone, but does not include speakers. In addition, at least one model of the TOQ device is standard with two Bluetooth headphones, and also supports wireless charging technology. Toq's designs remain clumsy, so consumers are still doubtful whether they like it. Chandhok pointed out that the current Toq in the appearance of the earlier model has improved significantly, but it also admits that some consumers or believe that the product distance from the ideal design still gaps. Another goal of launching Toq is to get consumers to understand MirasolDisplay。 The technology is currently being used only in a handful of Korean E-book reader products. "We think the market will react differently after seeing and using the Mirasol," he said. Chandhok said that Toq was an attempt at "thinking leadership" and a form of promotional products. Toq will be sold via a Qualcomm website, and some small retailers may offer product displays. (Lu Xin)
