The watch looks very nice indeed but starting at $350 is ominously steep especially since it requires an iPhone

#12I was rather impressed but at 350USD and most likely 350e in Europe it's an expensive purchase. Still no word on battery life either.

#13Are those actual photos on the home page or computer renderings?

#14It is cheaper to tie iPad Mini to wrist than buy an iWatch :).

Re: The Apple Watch
#16Interesting, a payments system that works only if you have the latest iPhone, and a watch that only works if you have (possibly latest) iPhone. I love the display, and I think they have some great ideas here but I was hoping more for the 'ipod' replacement that would work with any iOS 8 device (like iPads too) instead of a remote for your phone.

Yes, it's called WatchKit. Supposedly you can create third-party apps, glances, and notifications.

Watches aren't subsidized and there are thousands of dumb watches that people pay well over $350 for already.

#20The Apple fans [1] impress me with their non-fanaticism on this one. If this is a general trend across religions, I like where we are heading. Props!
Apple watch certainly has qualities though. It's exciting to see how the market will develop now that all parties have opened their cards.
