Shanda to Launch A Smart Watch Running Firefox OS

Bambook Smart Watch

Yesterday we heard that Xiaomi was developing a pair of Smart Shoes.  Today we have Guoke, a hardware company under Shanda, revealing updates about its new gadget, Bambook Smart Watch.

The watch will be launched in the upcoming June. Not only does it has a model running the ubiquitous Android, but also one running the newly released Firefox OS. It will be priced above 100 dollars.

Apart from choices of operating systems, Shanda will roll out one with e-ink screen. It’s understandable it’s for the sake of Cloudary, Shanda’s digital literature business whose e-ink reader is also developed by Guoke. But, isn’t the screen too small for reading?

Gu Xiaobin, CEO of Guoke, told media earlier that they’d also develop a set-top box for gaming, which had always been Shanda’s dream. Back in 2005  the company launched Shanda Box, a set-top box, with the dream of digitalizing households’ living rooms.
