Sam Burd said: "We're exploring ideas in that space." Other than that, he didn't leak more specific information about it.
The idea of devices that can be worn on the body has become one of the most popular branches in the technology market. It is a notable event that Google has invented a genius Google Glass some time ago. At the same time, a Californian company called "Pebble" has sold more than 85,000 smart watches. There are rumors that Apple Inc. will launch "iWatch" smart watches. In addition, Samsung, Foxconn, Sony, LG and Philips have all announced they will launch newest wearable devices.
Sam Burd said: "There are challenges in cost, and how to make it a really good experience. But the piece that's interesting is that computers are getting smaller. Having a watch on your wrist is pretty interesting, pretty appealing."
Sam Burd added: "Looking ahead five years, there will still be a need for static computing on our desktops, but there will also be a real need for mobile devices." On wearable computing devices, he said: "we haven't announced anything, but we are looking at the technology in that space."
At last Sam Burd said he still believed "the PC business is important to us. It's how we started as a company, and where we have strong share globally. Lots has been written about the demise of the PC business, but we think it's still an interesting area to go forward in the future."
