Successful singer and entrepreneur Will.i.am now wants to take over the technology world -- he plans to launch his own smartwatch this July.

During his interview with Alan Carr on Friday night's Chatty Man show, he revealed his wrist-worn device, which has Bluetooth connectivity and will run social networking apps. "I don't carry my phone anymore, this is my phone," he said. "A lot of these smartwatches need phones -- mine doesn't need a phone. I started the company myself, I funded it, I used my own money to develop it."

"So, it's a phone. It has all my music in it so I can work out with it, without wires using Bluetooth headphones," he added. "It's got Twitter, Instagram, Facebook."

While the released smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and Motorola feature a flat screen, the "Scream & Shout" hitmaker's device has a curved display. Although he did not reveal what operating system it runs on, the fact that it features established apps suggests it will run on existing software, likely to be Android.

The presence of Instagram also hints that the watch will have a camera. Will.i.am recently announced his plans to release a camera accessory that will "dramatically enhance the clarity and definition of iPhone photographs" called the i.am+. It is said to be capable of raising the quality of photos from 8MP to 14MP, and his watch may either run with an 8MP camera or work with this accessory.

Due to the fact that it can make calls, the watch is also likely to have a SIM card and may additionally support 3G or even 4G. Even though the call quality was poor and cut out, Will.i.am was able to call Cheryl Cole during the final of The Voice with his latest creation.
