"Research firm Gartner expects the market for wearable smart electronics to be a $10 billion industry by 2016.
This isn't the first time that Microsoft has shown an interest in wearable gadgets. Microsoft a decade ago unveiled a "Smart Watch" powered by the company's software. For a subscription fee, Smart Watch wearers could have news headlines, sports scores and instant messages beamed over FM radio to their wrists. But sales stopped in 2008.
