I remember it was expensive and nobody really wanted it.
- kenjackson 16y agoSomeone asked me what Apple's next big thing will be, I said, "Look at something MS did, but failed. It's what Apple will do next". Apple's already half way there with the Nano. If you integrated this with your other services: voice (just to know when you're getting a call, missed calls, voice mail), sms, twitter, email, facebook -- now you may have a somewhat interesting device. The tough part now though is that everyone has a smartphone... is this device necessary anymore? Although if you could add a lot of biometric feedback that would be nice. And also solar powered so it had crazy battery life. My current watch has been going 10 years on solar power w/o a charge.
