Blackberry to make watches

Sony Watches
After Sony , it’s RIM jumping into the business of time travelling. Not really. Though rumour goes RIM to be following Sony’s line to accompany their phones with bluetooth watches. It will come with an OLED display with message preview, caller id and presumably music control feature to make needlessly pulling your device out of it’s holster a thing of past.
RIM has farmed out the work to some company again following Sony’s footstep which had their watches gleaming by Fossil.

Interestingly, it seems like the watch isn’t being developed in-house — instead, work has been farmed out to some company dedicated to the BlackBerry aftermarket with an official announcement expected “soon.” As far as we know, Sony Ericsson’s watches — which arguably look nicer on account of their analog / digital hybrid design — haven’t been hot sellers, but who knows, maybe RIM’s got some neat tricks up its sleeve with this one.
Not sure whether Sony’s watches have been hot sellers or not but they certainly had impressive features on their wrist candy. The bluetooth device was capable of vibrating as it lost connection with the cell phone. Really useful if you are in a habit of forgetting your phone on office desk. We can only hope that what RIM has to offer stands up to it’s brand.
