Microsoft is apparently taking its rumored smart watch quite seriously, as former members of Redmond's flagship Xbox and Kinect team are reportedly working on the device.
Although Apple has yet to confirm the existence of a smart watch, Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen believe the device may represent a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Cupertino.
The Pebble 'smart watch' that's generated so much interest on Kickstarter now has a ship date - 23rd January - with the 85,000 backers of the project set to receive their watches a few weeks later.
