Awesome product.

I wonder if typing on watches will be someday as normal as typing on phones. I would rather bet on speech recognition.

Off-topic, but I'm hoping one day programming won't be a desk job. You'll get to walk around, interact with a touch screen and just have a conversation with the computer about what should your program do.

I'm waiting for the brainwave typing device still... With IM display in Google Glass, it'd be as good as IM-ing in your head.

Get an Emotiv headset and prototype it; will buy...

I'm getting a Muse soon :) Hope I can type on it.

Researchers at the Imperial College of London are developing an EEG that fits in your ear:

By nestling the EEG inside the ear, the engineers avoid a lot of signal noise usually introduced by body movement. They can also ensure that the electrodes are always placed in exactly the same spot, which, they say, will make repeated readings more reliable.

I agree! I love the thought processes of programming, but I hate staring at a glowing rectangle 2 feet ahead of me to actually synthesize those thoughts. My blue-sky hope for wearables is that they get me up, moving around, and interacting with reality while also producing great code.

For input touch screens aren't as fun or nice as mechanical buttons. Even perfect speech recognition wouldn't be what you want in a noisy environment, for texting privately, or for eyes free operation. So take a look at this http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite/index.willison Proves my argument is correct :) Okay, so maybe the hinges aren't super sexy.

EDIT: add "For input"

I'm able to hear the person I'm speaking to in many noisy environments. I don't see why a computer wouldn't be able to do the same.
