There is no iWatch! There were smartwatches on the market long before the iWatch rumour.
So Apple isnt playing catch up with the apparent release of a larger screen phone, the notification center, widgets etc etc

Lets see, what existed before apple...
Calling from a mobile device
Accessing internet from a mobile device
Contacts
SMS
MMS
Apps
Copy/paste
Music on a phone
Buttons on a phone
Touch screens on mobile devices
...
95% of the first iPhone is copied from someone else
Am I the only one who thinks this Android Wear interface looks extremely soulless and bland?
Its basically just white boxes and they thought : "oh lets slap some nice background image on it to make it look less horrid".

Once again vapor and beta-ware. The demos didn't work. There were odd uncomfortable pauses. It was like watching amateur hour. Half the things they showed about Android wear are theoretical and don't actually exist without someone else writing the code and making the hardware. Of the things that did exist, they looked pretty rough. The got the shadows and pretty colors though...
Watching I/O made me realize just how good Craig Federighi actually is at presenting technical material. The best part was watching people get up and leave in the middle of presentations and their head shadows crossing the cameras. LOL I guess it's free and open and you can do what you want, who cares what the experience is of the viewer at home right? Ooops, Freudian slip..

You can bark as much as u like.. But that wont change reality !
Android is a pure knock off of ios. If u are not aware of this you are living under a rock somewhere!

I would like to add the only reason why you are seeing these watches are because of the Pebble and it's massive success. It created a new market for wearable tech.
Exactly... Google doesn't control the entire stack. They were demoing hardware from Samsung and LG
Prototypes.
Google's software is only as good as the hardware it's installed on. It may take a few years to work out the kinks.
G-men
have been doing that for years. It will be harder to spot the Spooks now that everyone talks into their watches.That's just really awful.
I'm sorry Google and probably Apple too.
There are many of us who like watches.
They are among the only men's jewelry.
Attempts to replace the watches with a nerdy digital smart watch will not work (at least for those of us who like watches).

... you say this now, and will probably preorder one when Apple announces theirs this fall
They are rather soundly beaten from the "user privacy" angle.
You mean the privacy policy that is virtually identical to Apples?

huh.. i guess me owning both an iphone 4s and a galaxy s3 means i'm clueless and don't know any better.. my god.. android has more features that are useful for me, but i recommend the iphone for people who just want simplicity. there are quite a bit of differences between the two, that calling android a "knock off" just shows your ignorance and/or denial.

he's right.
this is incredibly fugly.
If the apple device looks anything like this, many will not order.
Yeah, all big companies are stupid to build a product based on a rumored product that'd supposedly be released by some other company in future.
The (fanboy) arguments over here are quite funny-
- Anyone releases a product after Apple releases, they copied Apple.
- Anyone releases a product which Apple doesn't have, they just want to be first to the market and it exists only because Apple is rumored to have one in the works.
It's a developer conference.
How can developers know what is going on without seeing what is coming out and the developer previews alongside it?
Too many people looking at I/O as a consumer showcase it seems.
Ha, why am I not surprised posters at MacRumors would say this? At least Apple can start a keynote on time and doesn't go way over because umpteen people were on stage demoing everything under the sun.
