Of course, fooling idiots into buying Android devices has been Google's game plan all along.

Makes me wish Steve was still around. Seeing him burn a big chunk of Apple's cash to bury what's left of Nokia would be glorious.

instead we get to see microsoft burning a big chunk of their cash to ruin nokia

Samsung’s Novel Smartwatch Strategy: Don’t Release Anything

Since Samsung Electronics released its first smartwatch in September 2013, it has been nothing but relentless in putting its stamp on the nascent market for wearable devices.

In the one year since the release of that Android-powered smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, Samsung has released no fewer than six smartwatches.

So Samsung’s keynote address at Mobile World Congress here is notable for what isn’t being launched alongside the Galaxy S6: a smartwatch.

Samsung executives won’t confirm or deny the notion, but it just might have to do with that other smartwatch about to hit the market — Apple ’s eponymous debut smartwatch, announced last September and set to begin shipping next month.

But fear not, smartwatch aficionados. Samsung isn’t sitting still. In an interview, Young-hee Lee, an executive vice president who oversees Samsung’s mobile marketing efforts, says that the company is “working on it,” with an eye on what she called product “perfection.”

“We’ve been introducing more devices than anybody else,” she says matter-of-factly. “It’s time for us to pause.”

Lee added: “We want a more perfect product.”


While the market awaits perfection, those hankering for new smartphones won’t have to look too far. In addition to the Apple Watch, a number of Samsung’s handset rivals, incuding LG Electronics and Huawei Technologies are on deck with their own offerings.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
it's funnier when you remember that the entire smartphone "market" is the tail wagging the dog

samsung rushed some poo poo out to market on the vague whispers that apple was contemplating a smartwatch product two years ago, then the other android vendors joined the fray because hey, samsung has one

now apple's decided that maybe people actually want a smart watch for some reason so they better sell one too

a smartwatch with an lcd/oled screen is laughibly terrible in all ways

color eink face + physical hands = whooooooa a watch that lasts literally days at a time!!!!

its still a bad idea but at least it'd be executed well (wish you were executed well op)

pebbles don't use e-ink, they use "e-paper" which is their intentionally confusing name for an ultra low-power lcd.
