it's time for a new wave of smartwatches I'm Bridget Carey and this is your scene that update google gave the world a sneak peek at the future of android-powered smartwatches it unveiled Android wear which is a special version of the Android operating system that will work on the small screen of a SmartWatch and it's very much like the system that powers the Google glass headset you can glance at quick updates and notifications from google now but also use voice commands okay several company said they'll have hardware to work with this including LG HTC samsung and motorola in fact Motorola took it a step further and released images of its upcoming android wear SmartWatch the Moto 360 it'll have a round screen and it'll be sold in a variety of styles globally by summer of 2014 so it looks like this will be the year the SmartWatch may really take off instead of burying our faces in a phone screen we can look forward to a world where we can't stop staring at our wrists it's time to say adieu to the ipad 2 Apple is no longer selling the ipad 2 and replaced it with a fourth generation version of the ipad with the better Retina display this replacement model keeps the iPad tues price tag of four hundred dollars for a Wi-Fi only model you'll have to dish out an extra one hundred and thirty dollars for one with a cellular connection Apple really should have killed off the ipad too much earlier that model came out in March or 2011 and it was a bit strange that Apple kept selling it last year as such a high price the ipad mini cost the same and it was a better product well the ipad 2 was the last ipad to have the 30-pin connector port now there's only one apple product left with the 30 pin connector and that's the iphone 4s all the other products have moved on to the smaller Lightning port if you're deciding between the two full-size iPads the only difference with the more expensive ipad air is that it's a little thinner it's a little lighter and it also has a faster processor apple also began selling a less expensive version of the iphone 5c to china europe and australia it has half the storage or the previous model just eight gigs but this cheaper version of the colorful phone is not for sale in the US gamestop will have some serious competition next week from walmart starting march 26th walmart will let customers sell their used video games in exchange for credit to buy anything at walmart or sams club and then walmart will start selling those pre-owned games this summer that's your tech news update you can find more details at cnet com / update and be sure to follow along for the latest on Twitter from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey haha
