Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung may unveil their smartwatch, to be called the Galaxy Gear as early as September.



The Galaxy Gear will be powered by Google Inc.’s Android operating system and go on sale this year to beat a potentially competing product from Apple, the people said. The device will be unveiled Sept. 4, two days before the IFA consumer electronics show begins in Berlin, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the plans are private.

Samsung could end up dominating this small(?) market by being one of the bigger companies with a solid reputation from their televisions, smartphones and tablets.

The Galaxy Gear being released next month won’t have a flexible display, though the company is continuing to work on developing a bendable screen, one person said. It will be unveiled the same day as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3, a combination smartphone and tablet computer.
