I suspect this could also be related to iPhone users having had a fairly small phone to date. Slipping the iPhone into a pocket till now has been an easy practice, so I assume the same is being done out of habit with the new larger models.

Agreed, I don't see any decent percentage of even the high end market investing that much in a watch that will be largely obsolete in 2 years tops. You buy a Rolex to have it for years and pass it down. A $5000 watch that no one will

Search for and read my reply elsewhere in this topic for my use case. I admit this isn't a device for everyone, but some of us find it to be incredibly useful.

Gladly... for another Nexus One fan. (still have mine, still fire it up from time to time) Off the top of my head so this may not be entirely complete. What I don't miss: - "Do I have enough memory to install this? Nope." -

I have big hands and I still agree with you. I hung on to my Nexus One well past its expiry date because of the size of it. Eventually I had to move up and being in the Android realm I came VERY close to buying the Moto X because of its n

Please forgive the repost but I replied just yesterday on a similar comment, different thread and don't want to type it all out again. I think the answer is more applicable here though. Repost: I was gifted a Pebble over a year ago and

I'm not seeing the crown being that effective. People who needed to use the crown to wind/set a watch almost always took it off to use it effectively. I don't see it being easy to use while it's on your wrist but I wou

"18K Gold developed to be twice as hard as standard gold." Did they really say that? Ha! Who knew my 9K gold stuff was vastly superior to higher grades.

You could put the bands on reversed, and the software could invert the screen but the knob would be on the bottom, vs. the top. It would work though not ideal. Overly not impressed by the crown control... people who wear watches that need

I was gifted a Pebble over a year ago and I admit I thought it was a bit of a gimmick at the time. I did however start wear it out of consideration for the person that gave it to me and the novelty of a new toy. :) (note too that I am an

The form factor may not be for you however I find my smart watch to be an amazing time saver. That's the joy of diversity... the ability to have products that match our preferences. I never ever wear headphones with play/skip bu

What about setting up show-rooms everywhere so people can see the product, but only sell online? Would that get around all these local dealership laws?

Nice to see this getting a bit more exposure. It's a quirky film but I enjoyed it when I saw it last year.

However 10-15 minutes late would also mess up the timing for your next reservation for that table and starts to cause a log jam through the evening from what you expected you would be able to seat?

How much extra work is it for a restaurant to manage all the cancellations? How many times will a reservation be cancelled and never filled when it would have been filled in advance? There is no scenario here where the restaurant comes ou

My biggest issue with this service is the tables that don't sell. As mentioned, scalped tickets, while not the most ethical thing, at least put the listed amount of money into the hands of the artist and incur a financial risk to the s

My thought is this. It's an early adopter device. Early cell phones were bricks, portable computers were suitcases, both seem to have caught on pretty well despite early release form factor issues. New devices push the limits of tec

I used to think like you are until I had a Pebble. I don't carry my phone around the house anymore, nor do I run for it or pull it out of my pocket every time it beeps. My pebble has saved me pulling my phone out 100 times a day and
