Prices for wearables remain relatively high. Many of the devices cost more than simple smartphones that performed the same or additional operations. Prices may rise above $1,000 as companies like Apple and Sony offer watches loaded with application software programs.

Technology experts say many of the wearables still have problems. Some devices lack must-have applications, and battery supplies designed to save power. Some do not have the good looks that buyers want. Observers say many are aimed only at sports men and women like bicycle riders.

But in Taiwan, product developers think they know how to grow. Huang Han-tang is an official with the organizers of Computex. He calls wearables are reasonable extension of other electronic devices.

~CAVvvB|%8UzG3N

He says in the past two years, developers have found that handheld devices can be made even smaller and lighter. And he says everyone now thinks the easier goal to reach is to move from handheld devices to wearable devices.
