A sequel series to classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon ‘The Flintstones’ is officially in development at Fox and is produced by Warner Bros.

So we have been hearing rumours of an Apple ‘iWatch‘ project for some time now. Recently, Samsung also weighed in, stating they had a ‘smart’ watch in development. Rumours have now been reported that Google will also be developing a product in this vein.

Will Apple and others be able to convince people they need a watch if they don’t currently wear one? Many people use their phones as time-keepers.

There are already some ‘smart’ watches available that will work with some functions of iOS devices (i.e. notifications) such as the Pebble; which was initially produced using a Kickstarter campaign and also supports Android.
