Sony on Thursday announced its SmartWatch Android smartphone accessory. The device, worn on the user’s wrist, links to the user’s smartphone through Bluetooth.

It’s offered at $150. The device can also be used with Sony tablets, Stephen Sneeden of Sony Mobile Communications told TechNewsWorld, but “our initial focus is on compatibility with Android phones.”
