If Balmer has anything to do with it, and will have had, this thing will fail hard. Balmer has the anti-Midas touch - everything he touches turns into turds.
Windows 8 powered smart watch - No thank you. I'm not a big fan of iphones and all the other i things, but that watch looks pretty snazzy. Though having to charge my watch sounds kinda dumb.
Im pretty surprised that all of the major players are all jumping into this market, i cant imagine there would be enough demand to be able to support one company having a watch like this, let alone several.
If people can't browse the web on their watch, the watch will likely have limited appeal. No idea whether that could work decently on a watch's small screen.
