Erm? Red Ring Of Death...
Anyway, interesting to see the market is going two directions, smart band and smartwatch. If it takes off in both markets I can see all manufacturers including Apple offering both types. I would rather a smartband, already have a decent watch.
Although I have to say, I would rather have an Apple smart fitness band.

Also a lot of chubby kids who were exposed to BPA, pthalates, and other toxics while in the womb -- altering methylation, disrupting their endocrine function, and leading to chronic obesity, but that's another topic
Oh definitely there are biologic reasons for obesity as well, but I would gather they're in the minority. I hadn't heard that one before, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Yeah cause no one would want one for the iPad
All depends on what one does with an iPad.
Since there are 3rd party options, not really an issue.
Just thought it was funny at the time that MS made that a selling point for the surface. I can even see mentioning the keyboard, but kickstand? LOL.

I don't care about who's first, it's just this "race to first" is so old . Making products just to make them . Products getting discontinued left and right because of low demand .
I feel like a lot of companies don't do their own research with these things . If they see a lot of people buying something, they imitate and don't have a polished product .
The iWatch doesn't exist...it's a rumor where all the specs are speculated, and then people elaborate based on their own speculation, then compare it to actual and or other imaginary products that don't exist.
The Xbox One's graphics capability is far behind that of the PS4. 16 ROPs (32 on PS4), 12.8 Gigapixels/second (25.6), 765 shader cores (1152), 1.23 TFLOPS peak throughput (1.84). It's an entire generation behind the PS4 in terms of graphics.
So, iPhone 4 drops call if you're 'holding it wrong', weaker processing power overall.
5s - low res display, more expensive subpar camera, less battery, less RAM.
So by your logic, iPhone is subpar?
Its not, he's just an angry fanboy. But anyway these are all great but I won't be buying any first gen of these including the Apple watch.

And in terms of how much is actually utilized they are pretty much the same.
There is a lot of hype around wearables whether you realise it or not, though... They have to explore it, because it could easily be the next tablet market (which people were scoffing at a few years ago).

So you're claiming to have seen the fabled iWatch?
Seriously - how could you possibly have felt justified in making this statement?
Other than the fact the original design was to require users to login to play games they purchased or did you forget that little fact?
I don't think I really want to wear an xbox for a wristwatch, and I have Microsoft Sync in my car, which will be the first and last time I have that crap in my car.
I don't trust them to make a desktop OS, certainly not trusting them to keep my personal bio data.
My favorite part...
... my favorite part is that stylish monochrome design. If they make it in red, green, and blue, you can put 'em all on the same arm and pretend you're not in the 90s.

At this point I doubt there will be an iWatch. I hope Apple spread rumors of it to trick people.
