Qualcomm Unveils Toq Smartwatch for Android

Qualcomm has joined the smart watch bandwagon by launching Qualcomm Toq, pronounced as "talk". It pairs with all Android smartphones running on Android 4.0.3 and above. The Toq sports the unique Mirasol display, which is a type of interferometric modulator display that works without the need of a backlight. Like e-paper displays, Mirasol displays can stay on constantly without requiring power and are perfectly visible even under bright sunlight. The Mirasol display is also capable of displaying full color and it also uses the ambient light as a backlight, thus significantly reducing the power consumption.

The Qualcomm Toq runs for 3 days on a single charge. It pulls all your Android smartphone's notifications, while also letting you pick up calls, read messages, control music, etc. Qualcomm also has an optional pair of wireless Bluetooth headset that works with the Toq. The headset has two speaker modules that plug into each ear with no wires connecting them. They pair with the watch and you can answer calls and listen to music on them and control them through the watch. Both the Toq and the wireless headset supports wireless charging. It is expected to go on sale in the middle of October and will sell for around $300.
