It sounds like many here think Samsung copied Apple on a product that Apple hasn't even announced.
Samsung has already built and sold more "smart watches" than Apple has.+1!!!!!
You know it! Sammy is going to wait until Apple drops their watch and the associated ads, then they will jump on the flipping bandwagon.
It sounds like many here think Samsung copied Apple on a product that Apple hasn't even announced.
Samsung has already built and sold more "smart watches" than Apple has.
So it looks like it is Apple that is jumping on the bandwagon.
I'll just leave these here...

Bloomberg reports that Samsung has confirmed last month's rumors that it is working on a smart watch. With rumors of Apple working on its own "iWatch" project for launch as soon as later this year, it appears that the two rivals will be be going head-to-head yet again as the battle over mobile devices widens.The report notes that Samsung may be able to offer a pricing advantage over Apple given that it controls its own chip and display production, undoubtedly two of the highest-cost components of a smart watch.
Apple has been reported to have 100 product designers working on its smart watch project, toying with curved glass and considering such features as biosensors and mapping functionality. The watch will also reportedly run a "full" version of iOS, making for easier integration and developer access. Battery life is said to be a challenge for Apple, however, with current prototypes lasting only about two days between charges, roughly half of Apple's goal.

Beer? No, and the "finer things in life" are all too often ephemeral. I would suggest you wander through an antique store sometime. They are full of "cherished" items that lost their meaning after a generation or two. My investments are more substantial. I'll be remembered for the kids I've helped raise, not the trinkets and gelt I leave behind. The young people in my life received an education, a view of the world, a way of thinking. That's what they will remember me for. I'll be remembered for the houses that I left in better shape than when I moved in. The writing, and art, and theater, and videos I produced. The students I taught. The things I made with my hands and my brain. That's what I'll be remembered for. Not any glittery mass produced finery I horded. My library is very good and will go to a school. My paintings will be donated. Other assets will go to various charities. My family has already gotten what they are going to get. Far from being an "example of what has happened to society" I suspect society would be better off with more of me around.
Yep. Just like there were smart phones before the iPhone, right? Name anyone who could name one.
I'm confused. Are you denying that the watch in the picture is from 2009?
Here's a Sony SmartWatch with customer reviews from April 2012. Are you going to claim that there weren't any smartwatches before Apple brings one out.
Stop being so emotionally attached to a corporation.
And yes, there were Smartphones before the iPhone. Heck, my Pocket PC from 2004 looks like an iPhone when in the static icon mode. Did Apple copy Microsoft then?
this pic looks a lot like the calculator watch I got beat up for having as a kid in grade 3.

If by development, you mean waiting until Apple develops theirs for ideas![]()
And pretty soon, more leaks such:
That way, it's gonna give some work for Samsung... LOL![]()
Ridiculous that anyone would want to put that on their wrist.
I'll stick my with Planet Ocean.

And it'd be terrible for Apple if Samsung actually designed all these rumors Apple fielded, and becomes a far more successful company because of it.
People really think that any company build anything because they think other company is building it?
People can't be so naive
The Wii U Pro controller is the same design as Xbox which is the same design as the Dreamcast controller.
Nintendo's famicom controller is the GOAT though. Nintendo needs to go back and make that again.
I think you are being a little too literal here. The implication was that smartphones before the iPhone were forgettable and niche. Much like current smart watches.
so you actually believe Samsung is doing this just because apple is possibly making one?
uh nokia and sony Ericsson had them for years cant name them all there's too many.
Steal ideas... from who?It just proves they are waiting to steal the ideas and try to release it a few days or weeks before the apple announcement. Same ******** as when the iPhone came out. The funny thing is I hope to hell the smartwatch from apple doesn't really exsist. Then they can focus on actual innovation while samsung chases an industrial espionage version of a red herring.
