I think this is not a bad thing actually. Think of the iPod. Lots of devices pre-dated the iPod, in fact I got a Diamond Rio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_PMP300 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_PMP300) for a wedding present. It was horrible. I had a portable CD player and I much preferred carrying that around and a small pack of CDs than the Diamond Rio which was difficult to use, difficult to load songs onto, and only held about 30min of music (and only at 128kbit/s at that). Then the iPod came out and it was basically like Apple announcing to the world "OK GUYS HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT PROPERLY" I think the same thing will happen with the iWatch. AppleTV may take a while longer to negotiate licensing deals etc... but as Apple showed with music, they can do it. Also they have a head start with relationships in the business and knowledge of how to negotiate these things.
