For example, there\u2019s Spotify and then there\u2019s also Deezer, Apple Music and Pandora. There\u2019s Instagram stories, and then there\u2019s Snapchat.\u00a0For everything there is another thing. But Pokemon Go? What\u2019s the other Pokemon? It doesn\u2019t exist, right? There is no other that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And that s*** made a lot of money. But\u00a0nobody is trying to go out into the world and do that s*** because\u00a0to do that you have to have augmented technology. I\u2019m just saying you have to start to identify and see things, trigger things and place things. And it\u2019s amazing that there is no other Pokemon Go. For everything you can imagine, there is another thing. Except for that one. Wow it\u2019s crazy!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Will.i.am has his fingers in a lot of pies. As well as music and fashion, he&#8217;s a big fan of technology and was appointed director of creative innovation at Intel back in 2011. His smartphone accessory company i.am+ has been expanding in recent years, snapping up other firms to increase its line of products, which include the smartwatch &#8216;dial&#8217; and Bluetooth headphones BUTTONS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s clearly someone with their finger on the pulse, but could he possibly challenge Pok\u00e9mon GO in the smartphone arena?
