BLOCKS, the company behind an upcoming modular smartwatch which is currently near the end of its Kickstarter, has announced that it will collaborate with AT&T for cellular connectivity in the US.

The watch will work with both iPhones and Android phones, and is expected to start shipping out to backers in May 2016.

Is it going to have its own SIM card, and data plan? This thing is apparently still only a concept at the moment, and it's NOT Android Wear.


BTW here's a high profile British tech Kickstarter that's just gone tits up...

"It was Europe's most successful Kickstarter project - but now the Zano mini-drone is in deep crisis."

So something to be aware of when considering investing in anything like this.
