Apple, Samsung's strongest rival in mobile device markets, has also patented a smartwatch design that is flexible like a slap-bracelet and incorporates touch controls. The company also recently bought a chip company, Passif Semi, which may have been done to get more people to work on the smartwatch project. Also, the word in the rumor forums, is that Apple has assembled a large team to work on the smartwatch product, probably to be christened the "iWatch."
