A small group of Apple engineers are working on wearable devices. The one that is coming to light right now is a stylish curved glass iPod that is to be worn around the wrist and controlled using Siri. The NYTimes reports wearable tech is on the minds of the Apple team, but how much do we really know considering Apple's track record of keeping things quiet.

Based off a Design from Gopinath Prasana, it is a mockup of the real thing. Prasana has dubbed it the future, and called it the iBangle.

It’s not clear what wireless technology Apple might use, though the company did add Bluetooth 4.0 support in its recent iPhone 4S.

The iPod nano and shuffle have been moving in the direction of becoming more wearable in the last few years. The rumored iBangle would be a further step in that direction.

Apple has also released wearable systems like ANT+ and Nike+ which use low-power wireless connections to join sensors such as pedometers to smartphones and PMPs. Garmin released an ANT+ compatible watch earlier this year.

Everything with Apple's future products is a guessing game though. Only people deep inside the company know the full scope of future product plans. It's fun to think about the possibliities though.
