Bluetooth Watch Connects to your Cell Phone

Bluetooth Watch Connects to your Cell Phone

Designed in partnership with Fossil, the new Sony Ericsson MBW-100 Bluetooth watch will connect to your phone so that you can discretely send a call to voicemail, be notifed of incoming text messages and more. What’s even more suprising, is that the phone actually looks attractive.

The MBW-100 face uses an OLED display while the casing and band are composed of high quality stainless steel with a silver facia. But how does it work?

When a call comes in, and you may not be able to take it due to certain circumstances, you only need to simply press a key on the watch to send the caller to voice mail. You can also control music playback on your phone using controls on the watch. And in the event that the watch is out of range of your cell phone, it will alert you as well.

The MBW-100 will be available later this year for a retail price of $399. Tech specs are listed below:

Everything Apple says is wrong about the DOJ’s iPhone lawsuit

The antitrust season is in full swing in 2024. This time around, Apple is in the cross-hairs of regulators, bringing back memories of the historic Microsoft antitrust case that unfolded over two decades ago. Back then, the focus was on Windows and web browsers. In Apple’s case, the iPhone is the centerpiece, with a wide ecosystem woven around it.

Experts say the case against Apple, which dives deep into monopolistic conduct, is surprisingly strong. The Department of Justice, in its lawsuit, has targeted everything from the iMessage “green bubble” mess and Apple Watch incompatibility situation to the locked app ecosystem and objectionable practices that Apple has put in place to maintain its alleged monopoly.
