We just wrote regarding confirmation of TCL Idol X+ S960T receiving the 2.0GHz MTK6592 SoC and briefly mentioned the ‘Boom Bracelet’. It seems wearable smart accessories are becoming more common place, and they’re about to become even more so when the TCL Idol X+ S960T comes to market.
In a package deal, the TCL Idol X+ S960T will include a ‘Boom Band’. The Boom Band is a bracelet which will support alarms, call alerts, anti-theft, pedometer and sleep quality monitoring. It will weigh 16 grams and be waterproof. Colors available at launch will be white, blue, pink and yellow.
This is an interesting take on the whole wearable smart device concept. When most people think ‘wearable smart device’, they will usually think ‘watch’, but this isn’t a watch at all. It’s an accessory which handles some fairly intelligent functions. It could be extremely handy for not always having to have your phone at your side. A vibration on your wrist is externally much more subtle than a vibrating phone, yet to the user wearing the bracelet, it’s far more obvious.
I really like the idea of the ‘Boom Band’. It’s another piece of technology pushing us towards the future.
