I didn't downvote, but your comment doesn't add much to the conversation. Are smart watches DOA as a product category? Why? Can we still incorporate lessons from the single-tap model into phone apps? How?

Surely if Apple's watch is going to end of apps as we know it, it can only do so by achieving a sufficiently large mass in the market. If it remains a niche product, then it'll be supported as a niche product by developers, while the great majority of mobile device devs keep targeting smart phones as per usual, with their usual modes of user interaction, and nothing changes.

  Not likely. If (and that's a big"if") the Apple watch succeeds, others will copy the concept - much like the iPhone caused the world to move from buttons and resistive stylus-based screens to capacitive ones.
