Stymie posted:oh then i guess i'm ignorant of all of the other 3.5" capacitive touch-screen devices with full web browsing capability and music playback functionality, utilizing a fully touch-based interface without an integrated input device that were available at the time, could you give an example? iphone was a better and worse implementation of existing smartphone concepts. remembering that smartphones in 2007 were exclusively targeted to dweebs and middle managers, so roughly the same target market as existing wearables.

the question is what does the iwatch do that parallels that? because so far we've got a bunch of nerds crowing about "fashion"

all pre-iPhone smartphones were basically Idea Men maybe they come up with a good idea, but with no ability to actually implement it properly, or to integrate it with other good ideas to make something more than the sum of its parts

and pre-ipad tablets were full on windows pc's with performance, weight, and battery lives to match i'm still not seeing the iwatch as an equivalent revolution, but it's basically just competing against clueless me too implementations that got rushed to market on the rumour that apple was thinking about a watch. no one knew why or what to do with them, so they basically don't do anything. and for some reason apple's featureset follows the market, but looks better

do you also use a nokia candy bar from 2004 so you don't have to charge it daily? do you look at laptops and grunt while scratching your balls, warily eyeing the magsafe connector?

it's totally non sensicle that they release a MacBook that is lighter and small than the air. the air used to mean lightweight but that's no longer the case the names just mean ntjong at all anymore surprised they didn't call it mac book edition
