元器件交易网讯台北国际电脑展（Computex）盛况空前，业内人士不远万里前来参加。可是来自PCworld的专家们转了一圈发现，今年的可穿戴产品多如牛毛，可是都没什么创新。

　　可穿戴设备爆发

　　今年有数十家来自台湾和大陆的公司都展示其第一代产品，而在去年这一领域几乎没有得到关注。

　　原因在于行业预测看好可穿戴设备的发展，未来几年这一市场将新增数以千万计的设备。2013年下半年智能腕带销售量为160万个，2017年这一数字将达到4500万。

　　如果这一预测是准确的，那么可穿戴设备对于任何一家公司来说都是重要部分，甚至会主导公司业务。在这一市场变得拥挤之前，各家需要抢占先机。如果一定要评价今年展出的可穿戴设备，那么就是缺乏创新。几乎全部的产品都是智能手表和健身追踪腕带的变体。

　　宏碁Liquid Leap

　　宏碁的智能腕带Liquid Leap可以通过蓝牙连接安卓智能机，将通话和基本的音频控制转移到它小小的屏幕上。Liquid Leap的核心是健身追踪，可以测量步行距离、步数及卡路里消耗情况。第三季度宏碁的配套智能机Liquid Jade也将推出，宏碁表示如果市场有足够兴趣也将独立销售Liquid Leap。
