We’ve suspected for some time now that Samsung has been working on its own competitor device to the Google Glass wearable, currently known as Gear Glass in the Android community. While no real concrete evidence has ever really surfaced regarding the device apart from a few design patents, something has just surfaced out of Samsung’s native South Korea. According to reports, Samsung has trademarked the name “Samsung Gear Blink“, presumably referring the the action of blinking, which does sound a lot like a glasses-like wearable.
As was made clear with the launch of the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatches, the omission of the “Galaxy” in the name definitely suggests that whatever the Gear Blink is won’t be using Android as its operating system. Of course, there’s nothing to really suggest that Samsung will even use the name Gear Blink for its future products, but we like to imagine that the name will come up sooner rather than later, as will a Samsung-branded glasses wearable too.
What do you think about the name “Samsung Gear Blink”? Do you think the trademarked name has any significance? Let us know your 2 cents in the comments below.
