High Noon for Smartwatches?

The latest on the VTech hack, and is the fad for smartwatches already over? Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

The latest on the VTech toy company hack with Ken Munro of Pentest Partners. Is the fad for smartwatches already over? We ask Eric Migicovsky, founder of Pebble, one of the earliest devices of this kind. Paul Cameron talks to us about Booktrack, his idea to give e-books a soundtrack. And Mark Lawson-Statham of Intelligent Energy tells us about plans for a hydrogen fuel-cell phone battery. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with special guest Holly Brockwell of Gadgette.com, and Jane Wakefield from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Online tech desk.
