2014-01-06
hi I'm Scott Stein at CES 2014 and guess what razor is into the wearables game too everyone's got a wearable fitness device of the show and razor as the razor Naboo now this is a little band kind of a little bit like a Nike FuelBand or maybe like a Fitbit and a little bit like the LG band that was announced a couple of days ago well this fits around your wrist has a micro USB charger and it works with iOS and Android to track your activity but also to receive notifications like a pebble watch razor claims the Naboo will work with all sorts of notification text messages or incoming calls and again between iOS and Android devices plus it will work with razor calm which is razors communications platform and which all of its peripherals work with in what ways how will this work with gaming devices well we'll have to see it's going to be available at the end of quarter one for developers it's going to cost forty nine dollars for consumers a little bit more although it's unspecified we don't mention it schools feature it has two displays one which is on the back and one on the front which provides a little subtle icon or cue to let you know what is coming in and then you flip your wrist around to check what the information is and like a lot of these others you can check steps and you check calories and distance and it's becoming kind of a standard metric but it's the additional elements the app support and communication plus the ability with gesture control to shake hands with somebody and be able to transfer information and befriend them if you wish although we'll have to see what sort of platforms are supported and how that works but you both would need to have a razor Nabu to do it it's a little look at the razor Nabu nice feel we'll have to see how it performs at CES 2014 a fitness plus notification maybe that's the magic metal I'm scotts dine at CES 2014 we look at the razor Nabu coming soon
