The smartwatch has a standby time of one week and can do practically everything your smartphone can on it's own. The integrated Fleksy smartwatch is quite intuitive, so while you probably won't type the right letters on the tiny screen, the autocorrect translates most words surprisingly well. While it has finished it's Kickstarter campaign, it managed to get more than $1 million and should start shipping to pledgers next month. Those looking to buy the Omate TrueSmart can get the 512MB RAM and 4GB version at $249 (RM805) while the 1GB RAM and 8GB storage version costs $299 (RM967). It will then be shipped in December. For both offers, you can customize the 3G to match the bands in Malaysia and they will also ship worldwide. Check out the video, pics and source for more information.
