Qualcomm has already thrown its hat in the wearables ring - but soon it might throw its whole suit in too.
The chip maker showed off the Qualcomm Toq, a fitness-focused smartwatch, in 2013, but it wasn't exactly a massive hit, and the Toq was only released in a limited US run.
But Qualcomm Taiwan president Eddie Chang told Taipei Times that the company has "all the technologies needed" to compete with rival chip maker Mediatek in the wearable chip arena.
Chang reportedly didn't go into greater detail, but he did promise that wearables with Qualcomm chips will arrive this year.
Playing it smart
Qualcomm is already at the top of the mobile game, with its Snapdragon processors powering smartphones and tablets everywhere.
A leap into wearables makes perfect sense, if they're as big as we think they are.
Can't blame the company for waiting this long, though, to see how the chips would fall on this trend.
