To be fair, the difference between this and 'some variation on this' is also the difference between the iPhone and Windows Mobile 6.

  This. Are wearable computers going to be a thing? Probably. But if it does become a thing, Apple will make it one, not Google. Here is this product segment that is, by necessity, the intersection between computers and fashion accessories. Only Apple has the mind-share to pull that off.

    > Only Apple has the mind-share to pull that off. why do you think that? Have you seen the latest market share of smartphones? Android?

      Out of all the companies doing consumer electronics today, only Apple has the mind-share to fight the "I'll look like a dork using this" stigma. In the 1980's that company was Sony, but today it's Apple. It's definitely not Google or Samsung. Once Apple makes the sector "cool", like they did with smart phones and tablets, then it will be safe for lower-margin Android-powered products to come in.
