It's been tough times
for HTC. But it's not going to let a little thing like a competitive,
over-saturated smartphone market stop it from dipping its toe into
the... competitive, over-saturated world of wearables. Talking to Bloomberg about its offering, Chairman Cher Wang
said that the company started looking at smart watches "many years
ago," and that it finally reckons it's solved the battery issues that
have plagued other wearables. Wang added that LCD lighting for these
wearables is another problem that the company has tackled and that both
were very much "customer-centric problems" -- they're certainly some of
the main issues we've had with several premium smartwatches seen so far.
