The Apple fans [1] impress me with their non-fanaticism on this one. If this is a general trend across religions, I like where we are heading. Props!

Apple watch certainly has qualities though. It's exciting to see how the market will develop now that all parties have opened their cards.

it is just so, square.

I guess my problem is that they kept it like a watch instead of a new device and it likely constrained their innovation.

I had seen some band designs, even the MOTO 360 did "if it has to look like a watch" better. Don't get me started on Apple's bling look that started with that Gold iPhone. Its as bad as gold emblems on low end cars, all we need now is gothic/roman lettering

Yes, I bet they wanted to announce it this early (half a year in advance?), because they felt they were missing the train.

You can only wonder if Steve Jobs would have allowed this to be released as well.

Why the down voting? For praising non-religiousness? Or for being excited about a faster developing market?

"all parties"

Cue poor Microsoft sobbing in a corner

I don't think there are any rumors of Microsoft going into this market, is there? I don't know if they have anything to bring to the table.

Bring to the table? If they actually made the table computer (the ORIGINAL Microsoft Surface), that'd be great. A computer that doesn't get in the way.

Unlikely that Microsoft will do anything big in the hardware market; they're struggling enough with smartphones as it is, despite their best efforts (Windows Mobile is supposedly pretty awesome, and they bought Nokia).
