> If it can do this without also requiring you to also carry an iPhone Not likely. The technology is just not there. Besides have you ever tried to talk to the outside of your wrist? I suppose its possible that someday a phone will be on a watch on the inside of your wrist but I'm not waiting. Nope the logical thing for the watch is bluetooth to a phone. The phone will automatically notify you via the watch (with movement probably), and display an incoming message or at least who its from with the subject or appointments etc. In the design industry there is a saying "Less is more." phrases.org.uk Sometimes more functionality makes a device less desirable, like Word. When its not tethered via bluetooth to a phone it will make a very nice iPod. I have an obsolete 6th generation watch sized nano. They can have up to 16GB of memory. iPod nanos are $149 right now. So a $200 price for a device like this, with extra functionality does not seem out of line. Add in a nice band and $250 seems within the realm. 6th Gen nanos are selling now for MORE than their original price 16GB - $219.99 amazon.com 8GB -$181.79 amazon.com Frankly the interface on these is the worst ever from Apple and everyone knows it. I imagine Apple learned its lesson and the new watches will be aces.
