So as reported it seemed that everyone and their competitor is trying to make a Smart Watch. Microsoft has one apparently made of “Transparent Aluminum“, welcome all sorts of Trek jokes. Apple is aiming for something in 2014 according to the news..
Pebble’s kickstarter did well but I’m thinking it’s kind of the Ouya of watches – an interesting experiment.
But my take?
Not going to work. No big new market. No iPhone like fad. Nothing to warrant everyone out there making a Smart Watch.
Oh sure, some will sell. Some will succeed. But do I think this is the next big thing? The next iPhone? The next tablet?
No.
