Moment smartwatch passes Kickstarter target

[Aglet]

I didn't know where to post this: rumoured devices or Android Wear. The Moment smartwatch is not Android Wear but is a wearable Android device. I spotted it in Aussie computer magazine PC & Tech Authority and couldn't find a thread here, although being a little lazy I only searched "moment".

Right now just at the Kickstarter stage, PC & Tech Authority reports the Moment will be compatible with iOS and Android, 30 day battery life using backlit e-paper, and 1 mm thick. Haha sounds more like vapourware than Android Wear. (ouch that's probably a bit unfair, it seems we know more about the Moment than about Apple's rumoured iWatch)

Anyway, from the Kickstarter site:

Looks neat. E-ink display makes a lot of sense for a smartwatch, though it limits some uses. I'm not convinced enough to back the kickstarter, but I'll be interested to see if this comes to fruition.

And I'd say there's probably a better place for this thread than Android Wear, since that's a pretty specific OS that this device obviously doesn't use.

Ugly as hell.
