It is being developed by an Italian producer, and is currently available for pre-order. Initially the price tag was very high, but it is now being offered in a cheaper, colored version called I'm Color. The watch is scheduled to be released this October.</p> <ul id="gallery_images"> <li><a href="/web/20111006104906/http://www.gizmag.com/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch/19176/picture/137647/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006104906im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch-1.jpg" title="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..." alt="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111006104906/http://www.gizmag.com/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch/19176/picture/137648/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006104906im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch-2.jpg" title="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..." alt="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111006104906/http://www.gizmag.com/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch/19176/picture/137649/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006104906im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch-3.jpg" title="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..." alt="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111006104906/http://www.gizmag.com/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch/19176/picture/137650/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006104906im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/im-watch-smartwatch-wristwatch-4.jpg" title="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..." alt="I'm Watch is a smartphone-compatible wristwatch, designed to work with iOS- and Android-ba..."/></a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> <p>The I'm Watch website showcases two versions of the product. I'm Jewel is a luxury version, designed with precious materials (titanium, gold) and jewels (diamonds), with prices ranging from EUR599 to EUR11,999 (US$840 - $16,833). The I'm Color collection is priced at EUR249 (US$349), however, you'd need to pay 20 percent of the price in advance to have your order secured. The current offer will last until July 18, according to the website.</p> <p>The company behind I'm Watch is Milan-based Blue Sky s.r.l. Some of the features of the device include the following:</p> </p><ul><li>iPhone 4 and Android smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth</li> <li>It will allow users to make calls and receive calls, text messages, and e-mails</li> <li>Users will be able to use its speakerphone for hands-free phone calls</li> <li>Via its touchscreen, users will be able to view Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare notifications, as well as a photo gallery</li> <li>Exclusive apps will be available for download via the "I'm Store" and music via "I'music"</li> <li>Specs include: 1.54'' 240x240 pixel color TFT display, 4GB of built-in storage, 64MB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support, Li-Po 600 mAh battery</li></ul> <p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006104906/http://www.imwatch.it/en/" target="_blank">I'm Watch</a> seems to still be some distance from completion, and its description is rather brief at the moment.
