"Smartwatch makers have yet to find the sweet spot for replicating your phone\u2019s functionality while also creating new uses. Musician and tech investor will.i.am is taking a different approach by ditching the smartphone entirely with a watch that\u2019s capable of making its own calls.\r\n\r\nWill.i.am unveiled the project on the Alan Carr: Chatty Man show on Friday, though some viewers of The Voice UK had spotted\u00A0him wearing the device on the show recently. According to a recent Twitter post, will.i.am expects to release the device in July.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj7IfmUbF0M\r\n\r\n\u201CI don\u2019t carry my phone anymore. This is my phone,\u201D he said.\r\n\r\nThe artist also revealed that he had funded the company with his own money. In addition to calls, the watch supports music playback, Bluetooth headphones, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. There's no word, however, on whether you'll need to wear two of them at once just like will.i.am.\r\n\r\nThe project definitely has our attention. Wearables certainly have the potential to replace our phones if the issues of input and display size can be addressed, so we\u2019re keen to see what will.i.am has up his sleeve\u2026or rather, on his wrist."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
