Motorola has used the Mobile World Congress to announce it is the latest smartphone maker with designs on consumers wrists and that that consumers should expect a new Moto X handset this summer. And while it was just an announcement, with no accompanying concept or prototype, the companys Senior VP, Rick Osterloh, promised that the finished item would be more a piece of jewllery rather than ugly tech and that to achieve that, a number of style and design problems will need to be solved. Osterlohs comments mirror those of HTC chairman Cher Wang, who earlier this month revealed her companys plans regarding smartwatches and wearable technology. An orderly queue of tech companies waiting to join the wearable technology party is starting to form and Mobile World Congress is this week full of the latest offerings from those firms — from Samsung to Huawei and Sony — that are already at the party and trying to convince guests of the benefits of wearing a smartwatch as well as carrying a smartphone.
