Will.i.Am was a guest on the popular British comedy chart show Alan Carr: Chatty Man and seized that opportunity to talk about his latest venture: a new smartwatch. Though the device could not be explicitly called a “smartwatch” because it does not need to connect to a mobile phone to function as we know of the other smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and others.
The American rapper shared that he used his own money to develop the wrist-worn device as he showed off some of its features. I don’t carry my phone anymore; I just use this, [this] is my phone,” he told host Alan Carr as he pressed the dial pad on the watch.
He also played music from the device and gave the audience a brief robotic dance move. He also shared that it is compatible with Bluetooth headphones and users can access Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Will. i.Am is a rapper, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, voice actor, actor, producer and very popular as one of the founding members of the hip hop/pop band, The Black Eyed Peas. In January 2011, Intel Corp. named will.i.am as director of creative innovation, with input in developing smartphones, tablets and laptops. In January 2012, he appeared on the BBC TV series Top Gear, as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, where he revealed he will be starting his own car company called IAMAUTO.
This is not the first time a music star is investing in technology, 50 Cent has also been in the business for some time now, his company named SMS Audio manufactures and markets head phones.
